Bitwise Invest, a crypto index fund manager and a key player in Spot Bitcoin ETFs has refiled its S-1 form for spot Ethereum ETFs before the deadline. The deadline set for submitting the updated S-1 form was July 8 and early submission indicates the launch of Spot Ethereum ETFs soon.&nbsp; 
At the press time, ETH was trading at $3,216.88, indicating a 4.45% drop in a day with $386,554,141,738 in market cap and $17,959,744,285 in 24-hour volume. In the past 7 days, the coin price declined from $3,475.41 on June 28 to $3,216.88, which is a 4.55% drop.&nbsp; &nbsp;
On May 23, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved 19b-4 forms for all the eight spot Ethereum ETF applicants. However, the S-1 forms were returned to several applicants with some feedback.
The SEC released a document that includes Bitwise Investment’s updated S-1 application.&nbsp;

The crypto index fund manager made a few changes in the new filing, mainly in the waiver fees. As per the update, the platform will waive the sponsor fee for the first $500 Million in assets. However, the fee structure for the offerings wasn’t disclosed by the company yet.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Similarly, VanEck, the investment management firm planned to waive fees for the first $1.5 Billion in assets before 2025, after which it will charge a sponsorship fee of 0.20%. Also, Franklin Templeton will waive up to $10 Billion for the first six months.

“We're thinking these things could potentially list later next week or the week of the 15th at this point.”, Said Seyffart.&nbsp;
The analyst also added that he has low confidence in these tentative dates as the SEC hasn’t disclosed any details yet. Moreover, the <a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/sec-requests-revisions-from-ethereum-etf-issuers" title="Ethereum" class="f-link" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> community took Bitwise Investment’s decision positively, hoping the approval within the next week.&nbsp;
<h4>Conclusion</h4>
Bitwise Invest's proactive refiling of its S-1 form for a spot Ethereum ETF ahead of the deadline signals a strong possibility of the product's imminent launch. Despite a recent dip in Ethereum's price, the crypto community remains optimistic about the potential approval. The SEC's nod to 19b-4 forms for Ethereum ETF applicants and Bitwise's strategic fee waiver for the first $500 million in assets reflect a competitive landscape among fund managers, with VanEck and Franklin Templeton also making notable moves.
