According to Eric Balchunas, BlackRock has registered the name iShares Bitcoin Premium ETF and he said a filing is coming soon (source: Eric Balchunas on X, Sep 25, 2025). Balchunas added it will be a covered-call bitcoin strategy designed to give BTC some yield and that it will be a 1933 Act spot product positioned as a sequel to the $87B IBIT, a detail relevant for traders assessing income-focused spot BTC exposure and scale comparisons (source: Eric Balchunas on X, Sep 25, 2025).

According to Eric Balchunas, the SEC has approved generic listing standards that clear the way for spot crypto ETFs to launch under the 1933 Act without case-by-case hurdles, provided the underlying asset has futures on Coinbase (source: Eric Balchunas/X, Sep 17, 2025). Balchunas notes that roughly 12–15 coins currently meet the Coinbase-futures condition, indicating a pipeline of eligible spot ETF products tied to those assets (source: Eric Balchunas/X, Sep 17, 2025). For traders, the key watchpoints are issuer 1933 Act filings and Coinbase-futures eligible coins for upcoming spot ETF listing activity following this approval (source: Eric Balchunas/X, Sep 17, 2025).

According to Eric Balchunas, there is a 90% chance of approval for a Litecoin ETF under the 1933 Act $IBIT-style filings. Dogecoin, Solana, and XRP follow in probability order. Additionally, futures or Cayman-subsidiary type 40 Act filings might also see approval.
