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.
