SEC Seeks Updated S-1 Filing From Spot Ethererum ETF Issuers
The spot Ethereum ETF issuers are asked to submit their draft S-1 filings by Friday, as per sources familiar with the SEC’s communication to issuers. The SEC approved spot Ether ETFs last week after 19b-4 forms were filed following a last-minute change in the SEC’s interest in favor of spot Ether ETFs, which experts believed happened after political pressure.
The updated S-1 filing will follow comments by the U.S. SEC, with further amendments to S-1 expected for weeks before spot Ether ETFs get listed for trading. As per experts, the SEC could ask spot Ether ETF issuers to go thorough two additional rounds of updates before a final decision on the listing.
Nate Geraci, the host of ETF Prime Podcast, said “There would still be addn’l amendments following this. But SEC clearly engaging fairly quickly here.”
BlackRock filed an updated S-1 for iShares Ethereum Trust, signaling a strong move towards launching a spot Ethereum ETF. Whereas, Hashdex withdrew its spot Ethereum ETF proposal due to unreported reasons. VanEck, Fidelity, Franklin, Grayscale, Bitwise, ARK Invest & 21Shares, Invesco & Galaxy and BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust are proceeding with spot Ether ETF.
