The SEC has approved 19b-4 forms for multiple Ethereum ETF issuers, including VanEck and BlackRock, signaling a change in regulatory stance. However, the S1 forms, which require more detailed ETF information, are still awaiting approval.
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas has suggested that the approval process could be expedited due to the swift approval of Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year. He has also proposed a potential timeline of July 4, 2024, for the S1 approvals.
