PANews reported on November 11th that, according to The Block, the Senate has reached an agreement that could end the 41-day government shutdown this week, allowing the SEC and CFTC to resume normal operations. The SEC may prioritize issuing "exemptive relief" to support tokenization and crypto businesses, and continue its investigation of digital asset vault companies. Crypto ETFs such as SOL, Litecoin, and HBAR, which were launched under the unified listing standards during the shutdown, may automatically take effect, require supplementary inquiries, or be temporarily suspended upon the SEC's resumption of operations. CFTC Acting Chair Caroline Pham stated that the CFTC will push for "spot crypto trading and tokenized staking" this year and is discussing with regulated exchanges the launch of leveraged spot trading as early as next month. The Senate Banking Committee and Agriculture Committee are respectively advancing legislation to allocate SEC/CFTC powers and define "auxiliary assets," which ultimately need to be coordinated into a single version for the President's signature.
