Bitwise Executive Points to Approvals 

Bitwise CLO Katherine Dowling stated that Ethereum ETFs are close to the finish line of the launch. In a recent Bloomberg interview, she highlighted the status quo including other developments with the financial regulator. Responding to talks of Ethereum being a harder-to-sell asset than Bitcoin, Dowling answered in the negative noting that the asset has its market structure. 

It is explainable, not as easily explainable as the qualities of Bitcoin, but we are six months behind here and close to a launch of these spot ETH ETFs. Chair Gensler said it’s gonna be sometime over the summer; everyone has their different definitions of summer… but we’re seeing in the S-1 amendments that there are fewer issues vetted back… that points to all signs that we are close to the finish line of the launch.” 

Furthermore, she added that products can be marketed more than currencies used to buy items but technology innovations with Bitwise increasing investment education efforts. Recently, all potential ETF issuers filed their amended S-1 with the SEC. Bitwise filing includes waiving the sponsor for $500 million in assets.
