The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has postponed Grayscale Investments' application to turn its Ethereum trust product into an exchange-traded fund, following a similar delay for BlackRock's application. The SEC has traditionally been opposed to spot crypto ETF products, but recently allowed several spot bitcoin ETFs to go live in the U.S. The delay of Grayscale's application is not surprising, and it is unclear whether the spot ethereum ETF applications have progressed to the stage of updated documents being filed. The SEC has posed several questions for the public to weigh in on, including whether a spot ethereum ETF might be similar to a spot bitcoin ETF and whether there are unique concerns about ETH's susceptibility to fraud and manipulation.
