Ether spot ETF approval seen as increasingly doubtful by industry professionals: Reuters
Industry professionals are increasingly doubtful about the chances of approval for ether spot ETFs by the SEC in May, according to Reuters.The price of ether has fallen by over 5.5% in the past 24 hours, according to The Block’s Price Page.
Reuters reported that four industry representatives have stated that recent meetings between issuers and the SEC have been one-sided, with agency staff not engaging in substantive discussions about the filed ETF applications.
"It seems more likely that approval will be delayed until later in 2024, or longer. The regulatory picture still seems cloudy," VettaFi Head of ETF Analysis Todd Rosenbluth told Reuters.
VanEck, ARK Investment Management and seven other issuers have submitted filings with the SEC to list ETFs that would track the spot price of ether. The SEC deadlines to decide on VanEck's and ARK's filings are May 23 and May 24, respectively.
Ether fell over 5.5% in the past 24 hours and was trading at $3,084 at 7:07 a.m. ET, according to The Block’s Price Page .
