The application marks a significant step in introducing another crypto-backed investment product to the market.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"387\" data-end=\"645\">To proceed with the ETF listing, Nasdaq submitted a 19b-4 filing, a proposal requesting a rule change that would allow Polkadot ETF trading. This represents the second stage of the approval process, following the earlier submission by 21Shares.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"647\" data-end=\"986\">On March 7, 21Shares updated its S-1 registration statement, a standard form companies use to register securities before public offerings. This regulatory process aligns with the increasing interest in cryptocurrency ETFs, particularly under the current Trump administration\u2019s more pro-digital asset stance.<\/p>\n<h2>Growing Interest in Crypto ETFs<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1030\" data-end=\"1441\">The push for Polkadot ETFs comes amid broader efforts to introduce various digital asset investment products. 21Shares has also applied for ETFs linked to other cryptocurrencies, including Solana (SOL) and <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/cryptocurrencies\/ripple\/\">XRP (XRP)<\/a>. Additionally, Grayscale has filed for its own spot DOT ETF, while Canary Capital aims to launch a SUI ETF, potentially setting a precedent as the first of its kind.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1443\" data-end=\"1650\">These filings highlight the growing demand for crypto exposure in traditional financial markets. With Nasdaq\u2019s involvement, the momentum for regulated digital asset products continues to gain traction.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>177% up to 5BTC + 77 <strong> Free Spins<\/strong>!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

If successful, the 21Shares Polkadot ETF would provide an accessible investment option for those seeking exposure to DOT without directly holding the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/nasdaq-seeks-sec-approval-to-list-21shares-polkadot-etf\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Crypto News &#8211; iGaming.org ) Nasdaq has formally requested the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for permission to list a 21Shares Polkadot Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF).
