ETF Store President Nate Geraci said Canary Capital’s filing on Tuesday could be indicative of how firms see crypto regulations changing under a new administration.
“This is a very early indication of how significantly some ETF issuers expect the crypto regulatory winds to shift,” Geraci said in a message to The Block. “My expectation is that issuers will grow increasingly aggressive with crypto-related ETF filings in an attempt to test out the SEC under the new Trump administration.”
