ETF issuer requires SEC to approve applications in order of application

Exchange-traded funds (ETF) issuer Vaneck, 21shares and Canary Capital, wrote a letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) urging the approval of the “first and document” principle of ETF applications with an order they submitted to the regulator.

The two companies believe that by failing to adhere to the first-to-document principle until the Crypto ETF debuted, the SEC reduced healthy competition and hindered financial innovation, the default process for applying for approval. This letter read:

“Reducing incentives to pioneer product development have a broader impact. It reduces investor choices, harms market efficiency, fundamentally undermines the Commission’s mission to protect investors, maintains fair, orderly and effective markets, and promotes capital formation.”

The letter continues: “U.S.’s global leadership in financial innovation is closely related to regulatory frameworks that actively support and reward entrepreneurship, creativity and real innovation.”
