US Approves Spot Ether ETFs: Regulatory Hurdle Cleared, But Launch Still Weeks Away
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has given the go-ahead for spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to operate in the country. This marks a significant development for the cryptocurrency industry, following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year.
Key Differences in the Approval Process:
Unlike Bitcoin ETFs, which received approval through a commission vote, Ether ETFs were greenlit by the SEC’s Trading and Markets Division.
Another key distinction is the launch timeline. While Bitcoin ETFs began trading immediately after approval, spot Ether ETFs still require S-1 registration with the SEC, potentially delaying their debut by weeks or even months.
