JUST IN: SEC Delays PENGU & T. Rowe Price Crypto ETFs
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has extended its decision deadline on two crypto ETFs:
1️⃣ Canary #PENGUETF : Would hold both Pudgy Penguins NFTs and $PENGU tokens. One of the most unique crypto ETF proposals ever filed.
2️⃣ T. Rowe Price Active Crypto ETF: Actively managed fund covering top 10 crypto assets including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE, LINK & more.
The SEC cited need for more time to evaluate market structure, investor protection, and manipulation concerns. Under the 19b-4 process, both ETFs get an additional 45 days for review.
These delays don't mean rejection, just more evaluation time for products beyond standard BTC/ETH exposure.
Meanwhile, NYSE American has filed to list options on the Grayscale CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF (BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, ADA), now open for public comments.

Standard Chartered Planning Crypto Prime Brokerage
The British banking giant is preparing to launch a crypto prime brokerage through its SC Ventures arm.
Key Points: → Services will include custody, financing, trading and clearing for institutions → Early stage discussions, no launch date confirmed → Housed under SC Ventures to avoid Basel III's 1,250% capital requirements on crypto
Why It Matters: Standard Chartered has been building aggressively: First major global bank to offer spot BTC/ETH trading (July 2025) Expanded Coinbase partnership for institutional services (December 2025)
With US spot crypto ETFs now holding $140B in assets, institutional demand for prime brokerage services is exploding. Traditional banks are racing to capture this market.
DFSA’s new crypto rules are now live: ❌ Monero, Zcash banned ( $XMR and $ZEC ) ❌ Mixers & tumblers banned ❌ Any transaction-hiding tools banned
Stablecoins get tighter rules too: Only fiat-backed tokens with real reserves qualify Algo stables (like Ethena) aren’t banned, just not “stablecoins” anymore Big shift: Firms choose what to list. No regulator-approved list.
Dubai’s message: ✅ Innovation welcome ❌ Anonymity not welcome
