According to Odaily Planet Daily, Cboe BZX and NYSE Arca have submitted a new proposal to the SEC, proposing the establishment of universal listing standards to streamline the approval process for crypto ETFs. Under current rules, exchanges are required to submit Form 19b-4 and undergo a review period of up to 240 days. If approved, eligible crypto ETFs will be able to list directly, eliminating the need for case-by-case approval. Cboe stated that the proposal does not currently set quantitative criteria such as asset size, and that relevant provisions will be added later. (The Block)

Odaily News The famous handwritten protest slogan "Mt. Gox, Where Is Our Money?" from the 2014 "Mentougou Incident" will be auctioned on the Scare.City platform on March 28, with a starting price of 4.5 BTC (about 383,000 US dollars). The holder Kolin Burges recalled that when he flew to Tokyo to protest, the Mentougou representative privately warned him that his behavior "may cause the exchange to collapse", but then he was refused payment when he used a Mentougou credit card to pay, indicating that the crisis was irreversible. The auction coincided with the start of the repayment process for Mentougou's creditors. Former CEO Mark Karpeles founded a new exchange EllipX last year and claimed that "with modern blockchain tools, the tragedy could have been avoided." (CoinDesk)

Odaily News Cboe BZX Exchange has filed a change seeking to allow staking of the 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF and awaits the next action from the U.S. SEC. The filing states: “Based on discussions with the sponsor, the Exchange proposes to amend several sections of ETH ETP Amendment No. 2 to allow staking of Ethereum held by the Trust.” Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart suggested Wednesday’s filing is the first ETF to be filed with the SEC that allows for staking. The SEC approved the 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF last year, as well as Ethereum ETF applications from companies such as BlackRock and Fidelity. Many companies removed pledges from registration statements before the agency approved them. The agency, under the leadership of former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, has previously said that proof-of-stake tokens are securities. The SEC is expected to take a friendlier stance on cryptocurrencies under the Trump administration and has formed a cryptocurrency working group with plans to classify some tokens as "non-securities."
