Ether spot ETF approval seen as increasingly doubtful by industry professionals: Reuters
Reuters reported that four industry representatives have stated that recent meetings between issuers and the SEC have been one-sided, with agency staff not engaging in substantive discussions about the filed ETF applications.
"It seems more likely that approval will be delayed until later in 2024, or longer. The regulatory picture still seems cloudy," VettaFi Head of ETF Analysis Todd Rosenbluth told Reuters.
OKX cryptocurrency exchange president Hong Fang told Reuters that doubts surrounding spot ether ETF approvals would place downside pressure on the second-largest digital asset by market cap. "There's more downward pressure on prices as people build that expectation in," Fang said.VanEck, ARK Investment Management and seven other issuers have submitted filings with the SEC to list ETFs that would track the spot price of ether. The SEC deadlines to decide on VanEck's and ARK's filings are May 23 and May 24, respectively.
