Spot Ether ETFs Could Be Available in September, ProShares Enters the Race
According to U.S. SEC Chair Gary Gensler, spot Ether ETFs may be available as early as September. VettaFi's Roxanna Islam has analyzed the S-1 filings for these ETFs and discussed the progress made since the approval of spot bitcoin ETFs earlier this year. The potential launch of spot Ether ETFs has generated excitement among crypto and ETF enthusiasts. However, there are concerns about concentration issues or a potential conflict of interest among competing products as the majority of spot Ether ETF issuers have chosen Coinbase as their custodian. ProShares, a well-known player in crypto futures ETFs, has decided to enter the spot ether race instead of launching a spot bitcoin ETF, which may allow them to capture a significant market share. The recent initial approval of the first step for an Ethereum ETF is a significant milestone for the digital asset industry, as it could create easier access for the average person and a regulatory framework for institutional adoption. However, there are concerns about potential risks such as centralization and concentration risks with spot ETF approvals.
