Analysts’ views shifted after the SEC unexpectedly requested Ether ETF exchanges to update their 19b-4 filings before the deadline.
Intensified Anticipation for Spot Ether ETF Deadlines
Standard Chartered, previously skeptical about a May approval, now projects an “80% to 90%” certainty of SEC approval. The SEC’s request for 19b-4 filing updates amid security debates alters market sentiment, which previously leaned toward ETH ETF rejection.

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, who initially estimated a 25% approval chance, has revised his projection to 75% in anticipation of the final deadline. Fidelity has responded to the SEC’s request by filing an amended proposal, assuring that the ETH managed for the ETF won’t be staked.
The unexpected regulatory activity has injected new optimism into the market, suggesting a potential shift towards ETF approval. This development highlights the fluidity of regulatory dynamics and the impact they wield on market sentiment.
