VanEck applies to the SEC for approval of the Ethereum ETF
Requests for approval of the Bitcoin ETF directed to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are accumulating and increasing, especially as the authority is somewhat slow in processing these files.
The backlog appears to not only be related to Bitcoin ETF offerings but also to Ethereum ETFs.
Asset management company VanEck has applied for approval for the Ethereum Index ETF from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
To date, the SEC has flooded Bitcoin ETF deposits, but it has yet to approve any kind of these cryptocurrency funds, unlike Canada, which this year gave the green light to many funds for the first time.
VanEck's Bitcoin ETF file is being reviewed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, which the commission is expected to decide on by June 17 or could also extend the deadline.
An ETF is a financial product that allows people to invest in a crypto asset, in this case Ethereum, without buying it directly.
Investors can buy and sell shares of Ethereum or a portion of it while tracking the price of Ethereum.
The shares in the VanEck Ethereum Trust will be calculated daily using prices from five Ethereum trading platforms.
Traditional wealthy investors already have avenues of exposure to crypto assets without the burden of storing them, as Grayscale already provides this investment asset.
This company controls more than 3% of the Bitcoin in circulation and has a similar share in the Ethereum market.
However, ETFs are more open to middle-class investors, who can easily integrate them into a retirement portfolio.
The deposit made by VanEck to the SEC explains:
The Ethereum ETF provides investors with the opportunity to access the market for Ethereum through a traditional brokerage account without the potential technical barriers to entry or the risks associated with owning or transferring Ethereum directly, mining it, or obtaining it from a trading platform.
The listing of three Bitcoin ETFs and 3 ETFs in Ethereum earlier this year on the Toronto Stock Exchange (Canada) gave new hope to investment firms south of the border.
Will the authority approve the applications filed with it, or will it be postponed and rejected, as it does every time.
