ETH exchange traded-funds issuers were told by the SEC that funds can start trading July 23, according to sources.The SEC had no further comments on the recently submitted S-1s and the final versions needs to be submitted by Wednesday.ETH outperformed BTC on Monday, on the news of potential ETF trading approval.
As a seasoned researcher with extensive experience in following the cryptocurrency market, I find today’s news from the Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) particularly intriguing. According to my sources, prospective issuers of a spot ether exchange-traded fund (ETF) were told they can begin trading next Tuesday, July 23. This is a significant development that could bring a new wave of institutional investment into the world of crypto.According to two sources with knowledge of the situation, the SEC gave its approval for prospective ETH spot ETFs to start trading from next Tuesday, as announced by the regulatory body on Monday.

A representative from the SEC communicated to a specific filer that no additional remarks would be made regarding the recently submitted S-1 forms. The final editions were required to be submitted by Wednesday as per the instruction given, and assuming compliance, the securities could then be traded on exchanges starting from July 23.

According to a second report, there’s a chance that trading will begin on Tuesday once the ETFs have been approved by next Monday.

In a recent social media update, Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, announced this new development.

As a researcher, I’ve been following the developments with the recent amended S-1 filings submitted by various issuers last week. However, some crucial details remain undisclosed, such as the specific management fees they intend to charge investors. A notable exception are VanEck and Invesco Galaxy, who have transparently disclosed their fee structures thus far.

After being launched, spot ethereum ETFs may attract up to $5 billion in investments during the initial six months according to Gemini’s forecast. Meanwhile, Steno Research anticipates inflows of approximately $20 billion within the first year.

On Monday, ether’s price surged by up to 7.3%, surpassing bitcoin‘s 6% increase, following the announcement that ETFs would begin trading imminently. The CoinDesk 20 index experienced a growth of 5.6% that day.
