Eric Balchunas, an analyst at Bloomberg, has updated his estimated schedule for the introduction of Ethereum Spot ETFs in the United States. This revision comes in response to recent statements made by the US SEC on the second wave of S-1 form submissions.
In May, the SEC granted approval for the 19b-4 applications submitted by eight potential issuers of the Ethereum spot ETF. This approval is the initial stage in the process of introducing these ETFs.
Prior to commencing trading, the SEC is required to grant approval for the S-1 forms of the proposed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in accordance with US regulations.
Balchunas initially forecasted a debut date of July 2 for the Ether spot ETF. However, the SEC responded belatedly to its second batch of comments, which were characterized as minor adjustments.
As a result of this delay and the forthcoming US Thanksgiving vacation, Balchunas predicts that work on the S-1 forms will recommence on July 8, and clearance is anticipated soon after.
Investors and analysts maintain a positive outlook for the future performance of the Ethereum Spot ETFs upon commencement of trading. Charles Yu, the Vice President of Research at Galaxy Research, forecasted that these funds would capture between 20% and 50% of the demand observed in Bitcoin equivalents.
Based on an expected $15 billion of inflows into Bitcoin Spot ETFs, Yu predicts that Ethereum ETFs might experience monthly inflows of $1 billion during the initial five months of trade.
Many financial experts in the industry also hold a positive opinion on the Ethereum Spot ETFs, considering them to be a noteworthy advancement in the cryptocurrency business.
If Ethereum’s approval and subsequent trading are successful, it would enhance Ethereum’s credibility as a significant financial asset and create opportunities for more investment products tied to crypto.
The ongoing attention and favorable attitude from analysts and investors highlight the increasing significance of Ethereum in the wider financial domain.
