Chicago Board Options Exchange confirmed that it will launch spot Ethereum ETFs next week.
CBOE is slated to start trading spot Ethereum-based ETFs next week.
CBOE released the latest information on the CBOE website “new listings” notice The website of the Ethereum Foundation has confirmed five new Ethereum coins (ETH) ETFs. Included are:
- The 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF
- Fidelity Ethereum Fund
- Franklin Ethereum ETF
- Invesco Galaxy Ethereum (QETH).
- VanEck Ethereum Exchange Traded Fund (ETHV).
According to this notification, the trading of these ETFs is expected to begin July 23, subject only regulatory approval.
The ETFs proposed will track ETH as the native token. Ethereum Blockchain is the second largest cryptocurrency, with a capitalization market of 420.8 billion dollars, behind only Bitcoin, with its $1.1 trillion.
ETH price is not reacting much to news, as it has only increased 0.8% within the last 24 hour. The volume of trading was down 15 %, and about $13.3 Billion worth of ETH has been traded since yesterday.
The industry analyst’s revised forecasts and months of speculation led to this development.
Social media buzz
In recent months, social media users have been anticipating the launch of Ethereum spot ETFs. Nate Geraci (a prominent figure in the ETF industry) expressed optimism on July 14 that approval was imminent. He cited no reasons why there should be any further delays, and noted that issuers are prepared for launch.
On July 15, Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas confirmed Geraci’s predictions, telling his readers that the SEC contacted issuers in order to complete documentation and ask for effectiveness on Tuesday, 23 July, assuming “no unforeseeable last-minute issues” arose.
Balchunas’ earlier forecasts suggested the ETFs could begin trading by July 2. He later revised his prediction, which now aligns closely with the official launch date of July 18.
Just two months back, Securities and Exchange Commission SEC has been putting the brakes down on Ethereum ETFs using arguments similar to those it used when it delayed the approval of spot Ethereum. Bitcoin ETFs. The regulator said that investors and fraud were both concerns about the Ethereum spot ETFs.
The confirmation by the CBOE is a positive step for the crypto-market. The performance of these ETFs and their demand will be monitored closely, since they could lead to additional ETFs for crypto in the future.
This approval is in line with the significantly improved performance of Bitcoin spot ETFs. These have experienced a net increase of over $17 billion. It highlights the increased mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrency investments.
