A significant rise in cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) can be expected in 2026, as per Bitwise’s forecast. A major factor contributing to this prediction includes the new rules brought out by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that remove the need to file 19(b) rules. Key Points: - Streamlined SEC Approval Process: The new rules issued by the SEC make it possible for exchanges to list ETPs that hold spot commodities such as cryptocurrencies without the need for approval by the SEC. - Rise in the Number of ETPs Launched on Bitwise: The company predicts an increase in the number of crypto ETPs that will be launched in 2026 due to the clear - Warning of Failures: According to Bloomberg's James Seyffart, several new crypto ETPs could potentially fail in 18 months because of market saturation, in which there are currently a least 126 pending filings. - Consolidation Expected: Seyffart believes that most of the liquidations will occur in 2027 as the level of competitiveness escalates and poor products do not attract funds. Market Impact: It could lead to greater market participation and increased investment possibilities arising from the expected entry of new crypto ETPs into the market.

The Euro-denominated stablecoins have breached the $1 billion mark in circulation, but this is just a meager 0.006% of the Eurozone’s $15.5 trillion money supply in the M2 category. It is a positive milestone, considering it has extended beyond Ethereum to include other platforms such as Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, and Stellar. Key Trends: - Multi-chain expansion: The issuance of Euro stablecoins has transcended one ecosystem, with issuers using tokenized euros on systems that range from payments and settlements to cross-border transfers. - Stablecoins fueled by regulatory clarity: The Markets in Crypto-Assets regulatory framework has ensured a level of regulatory clarity, leading to the growth of the euro-stablecoin market. - Market share: Even with these advances, euro stablecoins are much smaller than their dollar-backed b $rethren and are not proportional to the actual usage level of the euro ¹². Market Capitalization: The euro stablecoin market capitalization has more than doubled in the past year since the implementation of MiCA regulations in June 2024. Its current market capitalization stands at $680 million in December 2025. Some of the largest euro stablecoins in terms of market capitalization include EURC, EURS, and EURCV²³. Potential for Expansion: “The difference between the real-world presence of the Euro and its representation on the blockchain may well provide room for growth.” With the European Central Bank's Digital Euro initiative and the need for digital alternatives to the Euro, the stablecoin market of the Euro currency may see growth in the future. #stablecoin #Polygon #Arbitrium #base #stellar $AVAX $XLM $ARB

Aave Clears SEC Scrutiny Without Enforcement ActionOverviewThe U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has finished its lengthy probe of Aave Protocol without any recommendation for enforcement action. This brings an end to more than four years of scrutiny from the regulatory body for the decentralized lending service DeFi protocol. Key Points- No Enforcement Action: The concern of the SEC, which began its inquiry at the end of 2021 or early 2022, was whether Aave's activity and its token, AAVE, was subject to US securities laws. Nothing was found or charged. - Reduction in Regulatory Uncertainty: The fact that a conclusion has been reached in the investigation means that Aave is not at risk of enforcement action by the U.S. regulatory environment. - Change in SEC Approach: This is part of the larger trend in 2025, where the SEC has abandoned or dismissed various prominent investigations involving cryptocurrencies, reflecting the beginning of stronger policy directives with new SEC leadership. “Impact on Aave and the Industry- Market Reaction: Aave’s token price is currently stable around $185, although there was a substantial decline from its year-to-date high of $377.” - Wider Industry Ramifications: The SEC ruling can be a positive indicator of a more welcoming regulatory climate for DeFi initiatives, and thus a potential shift towards widespread adoption and development of DeFi projects. - Future Regulation Clarity: It is expected that clearer regulation guidelines are yet to come from the SEC, especially in ongoing litigation and new-regulatory framework development. #aave #AAVE $AAVE
