## What changed

Corporation Finance staff consolidated disclosure observations for crypto-asset ETP filings, including index or reference asset, custody, creation and redemption, fees, conflicts, valuation, network, trading, and service-provider risks. The statement does not approve any product or create new obligations.

## Who it affects

- Advisers selecting and monitoring crypto ETPs
- Crypto ETP sponsors, authorized participants, custodians, and broker-dealers

## What is still open

- How the staff will apply the considerations to staking, multi-asset, or novel ETPs
- Product-specific materiality and registration-statement comments

## What it means for an advisor

- Add the statement’s topics to ETP comparison and ongoing-monitoring checklists
- Verify filed custody, index, liquidity, creation-redemption, fee, and conflict terms against marketing claims

## Previous interpretation

The disclosure record was dispersed across individual filings and staff comments without this consolidated current statement.
