After the Bitcoin spot ETF was approved in the United States, a discussion about the Ethereum spot ETF quietly emerged.
The controversy over Ethereum spot ETF
ETF is an investment fund traded on a traditional stock exchange, which usually tracks the performance of an index or asset, such as stocks, bonds or gold. The proposal for the Ethereum spot ETF aims to create a fund that tracks the price of Ethereum, allowing investors to participate in Ethereum investment through traditional investment channels without directly purchasing Ethereum.
Since the Bitcoin spot ETF was approved in the United States, many companies have successively submitted applications for Ethereum spot ETFs. However, compared with the Bitcoin ETF, the road to approval of the Ethereum spot ETF appears to be more rugged. One of the reasons is that after Ethereum changed from the proof-of-work (PoW) mechanism to the proof-of-stake (PoS) mechanism, the question of whether it is a "security" has re-ignited extensive legal and regulatory discussions.
Expectations for the approval of Ethereum spot ETFs
The market is not optimistic about the prospect of the United States approving Ethereum spot ETFs. In addition, from the perspective of market liquidity, recent Ethereum trading data shows that Ethereum liquidity on exchanges and chains is extremely active. For example, the recent listing of the Franklin Ethereum spot ETF code on the DTCC website caused a short-term rise in Ethereum prices, and some large transactions also occurred one after another.
It cannot be ignored that with the entry of more financial institutions and traditional investors, the demand for cryptocurrency infrastructure and related financial products is still growing. Even in the face of regulatory uncertainty, Ethereum spot ETFs may still become a key factor in promoting the further integration of cryptocurrencies into the mainstream financial system.
However, in the long run, if the SEC ultimately does not approve the Ethereum spot ETF, it may intensify the market's doubts about whether Ethereum and other altcoins are "securities", which will have a profound impact on the entire crypto market.
In addition, future market trends and regulatory attitudes will be the key to the success of Ethereum spot ETFs. If regulators can have a clearer positioning of the nature of Ethereum and market participants can show greater interest and acceptance of such investment tools, Ethereum spot ETFs still have the potential to become the new favorite of the market.
