Bloomberg analysts estimate a 90% chance of approval. Nasdaq filed the ETF on February 21, tracking spot HBAR prices, and submitted changes on March 4. The ETF went public on March 13, starting SEC\u2019s 180-day decision period. However, the commission postponed the HBAR ETF twice in April and June. SEC requested further comments regarding Nasdaq\u2019s commodity-trust share rules. The proposed rule change extended the decision period by 60 more days, setting the final date to November 8.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">HBAR price increased 1% in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.2206.

Like HBAR, the DOT ETF was delayed twice in April and June. The commission requires additional time to approve or reject the ETF under the proposed rule change. Meanwhile, SEC quietly collaborates with exchanges on general listing standards for spot crypto ETFs. <strong>Nasdaq<\/strong>, NYSE, and CBOE BZX updated the \u201ccommodity\u201d definition in listing rules.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">DOT price rose about 4% to $4.03 at the time of writing.
