Crypto ETPs to enter ‘cheesecake factory’ era in 2026: Bitwise
Bitwise predicts over 100 crypto ETPs will launch in 2026 due to new SEC listing standards, creating a vast investment menu.Summary
Bitwise researcher Ryan Rasmussen predicts that over 100 crypto-linked Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs), including spot crypto, index, and equities funds, will launch in 2026. This acceleration is based on the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) October release of generic listing standards, which eliminated the need for lengthy individual 19(b) approvals for qualifying ETPs, drastically reducing processing times. Rasmussen likened this expansion to investors having a menu as large as The Cheesecake Factory, offering a wide variety of allocation choices, contrasting sharply with the limited options available previously. Many market participants view the potential launch of more altcoin-tracking ETPs as a bullish signal for the broader crypto market.
