Crypto exchanges told SEC leaning towards approval of spot Ethereum ETFs: report
Securities and Exchange Commission staff told cryptocurrency exchanges it is leaning towards approving spot ether ETFs, according to a report in Barron’s.
Securities and Exchange Commission staff told cryptocurrency exchanges on Monday the agency is "leaning" towards approving spot ether ETFs, according to a report in Barron's , which cited anonymous sources.
"What changed is that SEC staff on Monday told exchanges where the products would list that it is leaning toward approving them, according to people familiar with the matter," according to Barron's. "The agency provided comments on the applications that, if resolved in time, could result in approvals as soon as this week."
On Monday, news that the SEC had perhaps changed its tune regarding spot ether ETFs shook the world of crypto and caused the price of ETH to surge. Bloomberg ETF analysts were the first to suggest that the U.S. government might do an about-face on the Ethereum-based products, given shifting political winds.
The first deadline for a slew of proposed spot ether ETFs is May 23, with VanEck's proposal up first.
