However, there are those who see the latest rushed efforts as indicative that the agency is speeding up processes in order to provide a satisfactory response this week.
““The odds of an Ethereum ETF soared when applicants amended their 19b-4 filings at the last minute, as requested by the SEC,” said Manuel Villegas, analyst of Julius Baerin comments sent by email to DailyBitcoin. “Normally, the form is published by the SEC and enters a public comment and review period, but with the short term, quick decisions may have to be made“.
After hearing rumors about an apparent change of position by the SEC earlier this week, analysts at Bloomberg, Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart, increased their approval probability estimate from 25% to 75%. Despite this, analysts believe that an approval may not be as immediate as others expect.
“There is still a long potential road to a launch“Seyffart said in a publication at X on Tuesday. “But these presentations demonstrate that all the rumors, speculation and talk have been accurate.”.
The SEC must approve Forms 19b-4 and S-1 registration statements must become effective for ETFs to begin trading on US stock exchanges, Seyffart reminded.
