The SEC has simplified the process for exchanges to list spot crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) by approving generic listing standards that eliminate the need for individual reviews.

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins emphasized that this move aims to enhance access to digital asset products within regulated U.S. markets.
