A major development hit the crypto markets on December 30: an asset manager just filed applications with the U.S. SEC for 11 different cryptocurrency strategy ETFs. The lineup covers some serious bases—think AAVE, UNI, and ZEC alongside emerging tokens like ENA and Hyperliquid. CC Strategy ETF rounded out the batch too.

What's the big deal? Strategy ETFs offer investors structured exposure to crypto assets without directly holding them. With 11 submissions at once, this signals real confidence that the SEC might be warming up to more diversified crypto products beyond just spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Each fund appears designed to track different strategy angles within the DeFi and broader crypto ecosystem.

For traders and institutions watching regulatory movements, this filing suggests the SEC's approval framework is potentially expanding. Whether all 11 get greenlit remains to be seen, but the sheer volume of applications reflects growing institutional appetite for regulated cryptocurrency exposure through traditional investment vehicles.
