On Tuesday, Gary Gensler, acting SEC chair, said the process for launching spot Ethereum ETFs was “going smoothly.” That same day, VanEck also filed a Form 8-A for its Ethereum ETF, appearing to indicate that the instrument could soon be trading on an exchange.
Launching by July 4 closely aligns with Bloomberg's Senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas's predictions.
