September 8
Policy supervision:
In July, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced a delay in its decision on the Bitwise Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs' in-kind redemption application, with the new date set for September 8, 2025. The SEC, citing the need for additional time to evaluate the relevant rule changes, extended the original 45-day review period to a maximum of 90 days. In-kind redemptions allow investors to redeem ETF shares directly for the underlying asset, which may have different tax implications than cash redemptions. The delay affected two ETF listing applications submitted by the New York Stock Exchange's Arca platform.
