ETF TV Welcomes Jeremy Senderowicz, Vedder
Price, to Discuss Regulatory Changes Impacting ETFs

ETF TV, the premier source for insights into the world of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), issuers, and investments, is
pleased to announce its latest episode featuring industry expert Jeremy Senderowicz, Shareholder at Vedder Price, who joins Margareta Hricova and Deboah Fuhr on ETF TV to discuss significant regulatory changes impacting the ETF industry.
Key Highlights:
This episode provides valuable insights into the evolving regulatory landscape and its implications for the ETF industry.

Approval of Bitcoin and Ether ETFs: Jeremy Senderowicz discusses the SEC’s recent approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January and Ether ETFs in July, following a court order. This marks a significant
development in the ETF landscape.


Swing Pricing Proposal: The SEC has retreated from its swing pricing proposal, which could have led many mutual funds to convert to ETFs. The proposal is expected to be reproposed without swing pricing requirements.


ETF Share Classes of Mutual Funds: With the expiration of Vanguard’s patent, many registrants have applied to offer ETFs as a share class of mutual funds. However, the SEC has yet to approve any
applications and is not expected to do so soon.


Regulatory Impact on the ETF Marketplace: Senderowicz identifies three key regulatory developments shaping the ETF market:


Adoption of the ETF rule, simplifying the process for managers to offer ETFs.
Growth of white label platforms, enabling managers to offer ETFs without extensive infrastructure.
Approval of semitransparent activities, attracting major managers to the ETF business.


Derivatives Rule: The adoption of the derivatives rule has opened the market to new competitors and introduced leverage and inverse single stock ETFs, creating new product lines in the ETF marketplace.


Impact of Upcoming Election: The election outcome will influence the SEC’s stance on approving mutual fund ETF share classes and Solana ETFs. The party that wins the election will likely determine the approval of these applications.

This episode provides valuable insights into the evolving regulatory landscape and its implications for the ETF industry.
