ETF Delays

Definition

ETF delays refer to postponements or rejections by regulatory bodies regarding the approval of exchange-traded funds that track cryptocurrencies. These delays often stem from regulatory concerns regarding market manipulation, investor protection, and the nascent nature of digital asset markets. Such regulatory caution impacts the timeline for traditional financial products offering direct exposure to cryptocurrencies. The approval process involves extensive review of market infrastructure, custody solutions, and surveillance mechanisms to ensure compliance and integrity.
