Asset management company Bitwise has filed an amended S-1 registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to list and trade shares of an Ether ETF (ETH). 📈

In a July 3 filing, Bitwise made changes to its S-1 registration form, including a six-month fee waiver of up to $500 million. A launch date on NYSE Arca was not specified, but is expected "as soon as practicable after the effective date" of the registration.

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas suggested that trading could begin after the Independence Day holiday in the United States. He noted that the SEC is "in no hurry" to finalize approval of an Ether ETF, but "all indications are that the launch is still planned for this month."

Since the approval of Ether ETF applications from eight asset managers, including Bitwise, on May 23, cryptocurrency investors have been closely monitoring the SEC's actions.
