In July 8 filings, VanEck amended its Form S-1 registration statement as part of the firm’s efforts to get final approval from the SEC for its Ethereum ETF. 21Shares filed a similar amended form for its Core Ethereum ETF. Neither filing included a specific launch date on U.S. exchanges but said it would be “as soon as practicable after the effective date” of the registration.Source: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
The amended filings are part of the last stage of approvals required by the SEC before asset management firms can list shares of spot Ether ETFs. Bitwise filed its own amended registration on July 3, and experts predict that other companies will follow in the next seven days. Wen ETF?
On May 23, the SEC approved spot Ether ETF 19b-4 filings from eight asset managers — including VanEck, 21Shares, and Bitwise — with experts suggesting that final approvals could come in July. SEC Chair Gary Gensler said in a June Senate Banking Committee hearing that the commission could approve the S-1s “sometime over the course of this summer” but did not provide a specific date.
