Spot

The anticipated launch of a spot Ethereum ETF is getting closer. According to analyst Eric Balchunas from Bloomberg, the estimated launch date has now been set to July 2, 2024. 
This updated timeline comes after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff provided feedback on the applications (called S-1 filings) submitted by companies seeking to launch Ether ETFs. Balchunas reports that the SEC’s comments were relatively minor, requiring only a few changes to be made within a week.

 UPDATE: we are moving up our over/under date for the launch of spot Ether ETF to July 2nd, hearing the Staff sent issuers comments on S-1s today, and they're pretty light, nothing major, asking for them back in a week.

“Decent chance they work to declare them effective the next week and get it off their plate before the holiday weekend,” Balchunas said, suggesting the SEC wants to finalize the approval process quickly. 
The launch date aligns with SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s recent statement that <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/06/14/sec-chair-gensler-signals-potential-ether-etf-approval-by-summer-end/" target="_blank" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/06/14/sec-chair-gensler-signals-potential-ether-etf-approval-by-summer-end/" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ether ETF approvals could happen “by the end of this summer.”</a> 
Ether ETFs are expected to provide institutional investors with a regulated means of investing in Ethereum, thereby potentially increasing its market activity and affecting its prices. 
This development comes after Bitcoin-based ETFs successfully launched earlier this year and have already begun influencing market trends.
