Although there is still no date for the arrival of the ETFs Ethereum in cash to the US market, a new regulatory filing submitted by VanEck It seems to shed some light on that expected moment, something that could happen in the coming days if certain conditions are met.

The ETFs They could be a week away from release

The precision was made by the analyst Bloomberg, Eric Balchunas, who reacted to the presentation of the form 8-A by VanEck for its spot ETF, which requires documentation for corporations to issue certain types of securities on local exchanges.

According to Balchunas, VanEck he did more or less the same for his ETF Bitcoin just seven days before these were approved at the beginning of the year.

In this regard, Balchunas says that it would be a very good sign if ETFs Ethereum arrive before July 2, that is, within seven days, although it is not a law that something like this can happen. He stressed that anything is possible in this case, but the outlook remains positive and we are getting closer to seeing this product starting operations.

The wait for Ethereum ETFs

After approval of the forms 16b-4 on May 23 for ETF applications Ethereum in cash, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) It practically gave the green light for the arrival of these products on the local stock exchange. However, issuers and managers are still waiting for reviews and approvals of S-1 filings, to know the exact date the funds will begin trading.

For these latest presentations, the SEC It does not have any type of period to comply with, since to obtain the approval of the forms, there is now a dynamic in which administrators present drafts or changes and the agency offers feedback. Sources with knowledge of the case indicate that it is taking the regulator an average of two weeks to carry out the review and respond to the applicants, so the process is currently on a very good path.

With many wondering when the official verdict will come, the president of the SEC, Gary Gensler anticipated that based on his experience, the approval process for ETF application registrations Ethereum spot should conclude at the end of summer, that is, by the end of August or beginning of September.

However, the current political landscape and the proximity of the next presidential elections are generating pressure for the government, who seems to want to approach the crypto sector in an attempt to attract more support. Analysts assure that the SEC radically changed its stance towards ETFs Ethereum for clearly electoral reasons, to project a friendlier image towards digital currencies among investors and users.

For now, the arrival date of the ETFs Ethereum to the US market remains a mystery, but those who follow the issue closely hope that the products will see the green light before the presidential elections scheduled for early November.
