Rumors are circulating that the anticipated approval of Ethereum spot ETFs may have been postponed, according to Bloomberg senior analyst Eric Balchunas. Balchunas took to Twitter to share the news, stating that there is no update yet and that they are waiting to hear something. While two individuals claimed anonymously that the approval has been delayed until later tonight, there is no official confirmation at this time. Balchunas emphasized that this is the extent of the information they have currently.
The possibility of a slight delay shouldn’t come as a surprise, considering that Trading & Markets itself was informed at the last minute. It is speculated that the delay may be due to the need to finalize rejection letters, if necessary. However, despite the uncertainty surrounding the approval, the general consensus remains that it will likely be approved.
This news has caused uncertainty among investors and cryptocurrency enthusiasts who have eagerly been awaiting news about the approval of Ethereum ETFs by the SEC. The approval of these funds was expected to be a significant milestone in institutional acceptance of Ethereum as a legitimate asset class.
The market has been particularly anxious about these ETFs as they would enable investors to access Ethereum directly through traditional investment platforms, eliminating the need for direct engagement with cryptocurrency exchanges. Additionally, the approval is seen as a potential catalyst for a wave of institutional investments in crypto assets.
Now, analysts are eagerly awaiting official confirmations to gain a better understanding of the state and future of Ethereum ETFs.
