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:
1๏ธโฃ Canary #PENGUETF : Would hold both Pudgy Penguins NFTs and $PENGU tokens. One of the most unique crypto ETF proposals ever filed.
2๏ธโฃ 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: โ Services will include custody, financing, trading and clearing for institutions โ Early stage discussions, no launch date confirmed โ 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.
DFSAโs new crypto rules are now live: โ Monero, Zcash banned ( $XMR and $ZEC ) โ Mixers & tumblers banned โ Any transaction-hiding tools banned
