This approval, which came on Wednesday, coincided with the SEC’s green light for ProShares’ Ethereum ETF as well.
The SEC’s May decision to accept spot Ethereum ETF proposals from Grayscale and others paved the way. This decision has led to these advancements. Let’s see more about this mini Ethereum ETF.
SEC Opens Door to Ethereum ETF Proposals
Grayscale started by proposing to convert its Ethereum Trust into a spot ETF. Currently operating as a closed-end fund, the Grayscale Ethereum Trust faced challenges in share redemption. Grayscale created a mini trust with assets from the larger ETF for regulatory approval.
According to Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst James Seyffart, the approval of the mini fund is expected to mitigate potential outflows from the larger Grayscale Ethereum Trust. This development is seen as strategically important for Grayscale amidst the growing demand for regulated cryptocurrency investment products in the United States.
