Ether ETFs Still Awaiting Launch
While it has been nearly six months since the spot Bitcoin ETFs started trading, their Ethereum counterparts have yet to launch. Experts had previously anticipated a July launch after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gave soft approval last month.
Firms recently filed amended S-1 registration statements, which is the final step before approval. Eric Balchunas, senior Bloomberg ETF analyst, expects spot Ethereum ETFs to launch soon, though the SEC has not confirmed a timeline.
SEC Chief Gary Gensler stated that the process for spot Ether ETFs in the U.S. is “going smoothly.” He noted that the final registration steps are currently being handled by SEC staff.
The SEC approved the 19b-4 filings from eight ETF bidders on May 23, but the asset managers are still completing their Form S-1s, the final requirement for approval before trading. Bitwise Chief Information Officer Matt Hougan predicted that spot Ether ETFs could accumulate $15 billion in net inflows within the first 18 months of their U.S. launch.
