Ether funds imminent
Meanwhile, Reuters reported Wednesday that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission could approve spot Ethereum ETFs as soon as next Thursday, or July 4, citing anonymous sources. Senior Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas had previously predicted July 2 to be a possible launch date.
SEC chair Gary Gensler said earlier this week that the launch process of spot ether ETFs is “going smoothly,” although not mentioning an exact timeframe. The regulatory agency gave the preliminary approval for spot ether ETFs last month, and is currently reviewing the amended registration statements from issuers.
