The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has updated its website to include ProShares' filing for an Ethereum spot exchange-traded fund (ETF). This move, pointed out by Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart, suggests a swift action by the SEC, but the ETF's listing may not coincide with other ETFs.
ProShares, an investment firm, is entering the crypto market with the ETF, aiming to invest in the price of Ethereum. The filing was made to gain regulatory approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the 19b-4 form. ProShares has selected Coinbase Custody Trust Company as their custodian. The ETF may not launch simultaneously with other competing products, indicating a cautious approach due to the complex regulatory landscape governing digital assets.
This comes after approvals for eight other ETFs by industry giants such as VanEck and BlackRock. The SEC's decision timeline extends up to 90 days from the filing date, potentially leading to approval as early as July 2024.
In addition to the spot ETF, ProShares has introduced two Ethereum-linked futures ETFs—ProShares Ultra Ether ETF (ETHT) and ProShares UltraShort Ether: ETHD ETF. These products are designed to provide investors with multiple ways of participating in Ethereum's price changes through long and short positions. However, the proposed spot ETF will not include Ethereum staking features, aligning with the SEC's guidelines. The decision may impact investors seeking extra returns through staking rewards. Meanwhile, Ethereum's price has experienced a bearish trend, with ETH trading at $3,671 at the time of reporting.
