Bradley Duke, the Chief Strategy Officer of #加密ETF申请热潮涌现 ETC Group, stated in a statement that it seems an increasing number of people in the U.S. SEC are accepting cryptocurrency as "an inevitable part of the American investment landscape."
Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, pointed out that the sentiment surrounding cryptocurrency-related ETFs has indeed become more positive in recent months.
Geraci stated, "Overall, the winds seem to be shifting in favor of cryptocurrency-related ETFs, and issuers are now competing for market share, trying to capitalize on this."
Geraci mentioned, "Volatility Shares has apparently recently had direct communications with the SEC, and it is reasonable to assume that Volatility Shares has seen or heard some signs that an Ethereum futures ETF may be approved."
In October 2021, the SEC approved ETFs holding Bitcoin futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). The ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) was the first fund launched under this approval, leading significantly in assets under management at around $1 billion.
Geraci stated, "The U.S. SEC allows ETFs to hold Bitcoin futures traded on the CME but does not allow ETFs to hold Ethereum futures traded on the CME, which seems illogical. Given the historical context of applications related to crypto ETFs, it is difficult to speculate how the SEC will respond."
