Crypto funds issuer Canary Capital has applied for the first exchange-traded fund based on the performance of SEI, the token of the Sei layer-1 blockchain, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.
根據Canary Capital的提交，該公司已向美國證券交易委員會申請首個基於Sei層級區塊鏈令牌SEI表現的交易所交易基金（ETF）。
The Canary Staked Sei ETF includes staking, allowing investors to earn extra yield on their investment.
Canary Staked Sei ETF包括質押功能，允許投資者在其投資上獲得額外收益。
“The Trust’s investment objective is to…..provide exposure to the price of Sei held by the Trust,” the filing said.
該提交文件指出：“信託的投資目標是……提供對信託持有的Sei價格的曝光。”
“A secondary investment objective is for the Trust to earn additional SEI through the validation of transactions in the SEI Network’s proof-of-stake process.”
“第二個投資目標是通過在SEI網絡的權益證明過程中驗證交易來獲得額外的SEI。”
Cryptostaking is the process of pledging proof-of-stake coins or tokens to a network to help it function in exchange for rewards.
加密質押是將權益證明幣或令牌質押到網絡上的過程，以幫助其運行，並以此獲取獎勵。
Canary’s filings adds to its growing list of applications for altcoin-focused funds, including ETFs based on Litecoin, Pengu and Sui.
Canary的提交增加了其針對小幣的基金申請名單，包括基於萊特幣（Litecoin）、Pengu和Sui的ETF。

Top asset managers have been trying their luck with regulators since U.S. President Donald Trump—who campaigned to slash regulation and help the crypto space—entered the White House.
自美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）進入白宮以來，頂級資產經理一直在嘗試與監管機構合作，特朗普曾承諾減少監管並幫助加密貨幣領域。
Under former Chair Gary Gensler, the SEC was reluctant to approve spot Bitcoin ETFs.
在前主席蓋瑞·根斯勒（Gary Gensler）的領導下，證券交易委員會對批准現貨比特幣ETF持謹慎態度。
But when the regulator finally gave the products the green light in early 2024, they had the most successful launch in ETF history.
但當監管機構終於在2024年初對這些產品放行時，這是ETF歷史上最成功的推出。
The SEC also approved Ethereum ETFs last year—though they haven’t experienced the same level of trading action as their Bitcoin counterparts.
證券交易委員會去年也批准了以太坊ETF，儘管它們的交易活躍度並未達到比特幣ETF的水平。
Still, fund managers are hoping to get funds approved that would track the price of digital coins like Solana, Dogecoin, and XRP.
儘管如此，基金經理們仍希望獲得批准，以跟蹤如Solana、Dogecoin和XRP等數字貨幣的價格。
