Ether ETFs Should Be Fully Approved by September, Says SEC Chair Gensler
The final approvals for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) trading
Ethereum's ether (ETH) should be finished this summer, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler told senators in a budget hearing on Thursday.
Gensler told a subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee in a hearing justifying the market regulator's budget that the process is "working smoothly" after the initial approval of a group of ETFs. The agency had previously granted the initial round of applications, but he said the final registration requirements – filings known as S-1s – are now being handled at the "staff level."
Once those filings are approved, the new ETFs can be listed, opening the wider
markets to easy-to-trade funds that hold actual ether, much like the earlier establishment of bitcoin spot ETFs that hold (BTC). The SEC had initially blocked the effort for
bitcoin ETFs until a federal court ruled the agency was mishandling the matter, and Gensler has said the SEC has since been following that decision and allowing them.
When asked directly whether ETH is a commodity, Gensler didn't respond with a yes or no, maintaining the uncertain position his agency has held on that asset. At the same hearing, when asked whether it's a commodity, Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) chief Rostin Behnam responded, "Yes."
