Ethereum Spot ETFs Coming? US SEC to Decide This Week
The Ethereum Spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) are expected to reach a critical point this week, according to ETF Store President Nate Geraci. The SEC is expected to make a final decision this week.
Ethereum Spot ETF Decision Awaits
Nate Geraci's admission has raised cryptocurrency and investment expectations as the SEC's verdict may affect Ethereum investment.
SEC reviews focus on 19b-4s (exchange regulation amendments) and S-1s (registration statements), according to Geraci. The regulatory authority must approve both registrations before Ethereum spot ETFs can be introduced, the expert said.
National securities exchanges like the NYSE and Nasdaq file 19b-4s with the SEC to introduce new products or amend regulations. Before launching and integrating ETH spot ETFs, exchanges must have SEC 19b-4 permission.
The initial registration forms for publicly offered securities are S-1s, or registration statements. The agency and potential investors get detailed information about the company's finances, management, and activities.
Spot ETH ETFs' administration, structure, and Ethereum performance plan will be covered in this file. Due to their importance, the S-1s and 19b-4s must be authorized by the SEC before the items may be sold lawfully.
Geraci is optimistic that the Commission will accept the 19b-4s, but he believes the S-1s may be delayed. Without the S-1s' approval, the funds cannot be marketed to investors.
Due to the absence of interaction, the agency may take longer to evaluate and approve these materials. Since then, the SEC's inaction has hurt the funds, casting doubt on its approval.
It's worth mentioning that crypto industry leader Nate Geraci is skeptical regarding SEC approval of ETH spot ETFs. Geraci has said the agency's eerie quiet and decreased interaction may delay the fund's certification in May.
This makes sense, but Geraci wonders whether the SEC learned from the clown show when identifying Bitcoin ETFs.
