SEC Streamlines Crypto ETF Listings: Twinstake Ready to Power the Next Wave

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has simplified the process for spot crypto ETFs to list, accelerating the timeline for new product launches and opening the door to broader investor access. This regulatory milestone will intensify competition among issuers, making performance, compliance, and operational excellence the true differentiators.

Twinstake is uniquely positioned to support this next wave.

Twinstake: The Institutional Staking Standard

Twinstake is the institutional validator and staking partner trusted by ETF issuers, asset managers, and custodians around the world. We provide the secure infrastructure, compliance frameworks, and liquidity solutions that allow funds to integrate staking safely and at scale.

Our credentials speak for themselves:

• Market Leadership: Twinstake secures over 40% of the European ETP staking market, making us the most established operator in the world’s leading jurisdiction for staking-enabled ETFs.
• North American ETF Partnerships: Twinstake is the core validator partner for the REX-Osprey SOL ETF in the United States, the first successful staking-enabled ETF in the U.S. market. We also support 3iQ’s SOLQ ETF in Canada, reinforcing our growing North American presence and underlining our ability to deliver compliant, institutional-grade staking infrastructure across jurisdictions.

Why Staking Matters for ETFs

Staking unlocks incremental yield, helping ETFs deliver superior performance while maintaining daily liquidity and redemption flexibility. It enables issuers to differentiate, attract flows, and create new product classes for institutional and retail investors alike.

But staking within an ETF framework requires precision. Issuers must navigate:

• Regulatory alignment to ensure compliance across jurisdictions.
• Liquidity management that balances staked and liquid assets without disrupting redemptions.
• Operational resilience with slashing protection, optimized validator uptime, and MEV-enhanced performance.
• Granular reporting calibrated to NAV and fund accounting standards.

Twinstake’s institutional-first approach ensures these challenges are not just met but transformed into competitive advantages.

Positioned for the Next Wave

With the SEC now paving the way for faster ETF approvals, the U.S. is set to follow the trajectory already established in Europe. The issuers that move first to integrate staking will stand out as category leaders.

Twinstake combines unmatched European market share with a proven track record in North America. From pioneering the first successful staking-enabled ETF in the U.S. to delivering live staking infrastructure for Canadian issuers, we are cementing our position as the institutional staking standard for ETFs globally.
