SEC Approves Spot Ethereum ETF Trading
The approval, as reported by Bloomberg’s ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, marks a significant milestone for the cryptocurrency market.
According to a Reuters report dated July 15, SEC approval is contingent upon the applicants submitting final offering documents to the regulator by the end of this week. Among those set to launch their Ether ETFs are BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, VanEck, Fidelity, ARK 21Shares, Grayscale, Bitwise, and Invesco Galaxy.
Sources indicate that SEC officials have informed one issuer that there are no further comments on the recently submitted S-1 filings, provided that final versions are submitted by Wednesday. Consequently, these funds can be listed on exchanges by Tuesday, July 23. A second source mentioned that Ethereum ETF trading might commence on Tuesday, following the ETFs’ effectiveness on Monday.
The issuers, who submitted amended S-1 documents last week, have yet to reveal specific details, including management fees. However, VanEck and Invesco Galaxy have disclosed their fee structures.
Analysts Predict Significant Inflows for New Ether ETFs
Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has long been considered a prime candidate for an ETF. Following the successful launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January, numerous financial institutions have pursued SEC approval for an Ether ETF, which allows investors to speculate on Ethereum’s price without directly purchasing the cryptocurrency.
Bitwise’s chief investment officer, Matt Hougan, anticipates that the spot Ethereum ETF trading could draw up to $15 billion in inflows within the first 18 months. Steno Research predicts that inflows could reach $20 billion in the first year.
