Swiss-based crypto asset manager 21Shares has taken another step toward expanding its exchange-traded fund (ETF) offerings in the U.S. market. On Tuesday, the firm listed its 21Shares Polkadot ETF (TDOT) and 21Shares Sui ETF (TSUI) on the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC). While these listings mark progress, investors should note that this is part of standard operational preparation and does not constitute regulatory approval. Both ETFs still need the green light from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) before they can begin official trading.
What the DTCC Listing Means
Listing on the DTCC is an essential administrative step for ETFs. It allows clearing, settlement, and other operational processes to be prepared in advance. For TDOT and TSUI, the DTCC listing signals growing confidence in the underlying crypto assets but is not a guarantee of SEC approval. The SEC’s deadlines for reviewing these applications are set for November 2025 for TDOT and December 2025 for TSUI.
Simplifying Crypto ETF Approvals
The SEC has recently simplified the approval process for crypto ETFs by removing the 19b-4 filing requirement. This change streamlines the path for new crypto ETFs to reach the market faster. Market analysts are optimistic. Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas recently suggested approval odds are close to 100%, noting that October—dubbed “Cointober”—will be a pivotal month for crypto ETF decisions, including those for Litecoin and Solana-based funds.

Investor Caution Amid ETF Buzz
Despite the excitement, the SEC cautions investors to remain vigilant. The surge in crypto ETF activity may attract scams or misleading offers. Users should ensure they are engaging with legitimate platforms and avoid offers that seem too good to be true.
The DTCC listing of 21Shares’ TDOT and TSUI ETFs is a significant preparatory move, reflecting growing market confidence in crypto ETFs. With SEC deadlines approaching, October through December 2025 could mark a transformative period for U.S. crypto investors—ushering in a new era of regulated crypto investment options.
