ETP Approval

Definition

ETP approval refers to the regulatory authorization for an Exchange Traded Product (ETP) to be listed and traded on a regulated stock exchange. For digital assets, this typically involves a rigorous review by financial authorities to ensure investor protection, market integrity, and compliance with existing securities laws. Gaining such approval permits traditional investors to access cryptocurrencies through regulated financial instruments without direct asset ownership. This process is a significant hurdle for mainstream adoption.
