šŸš€ Heads up, crypto enthusiasts! Galaxy Research's Alex Thorn speculates a possible SEC loophole for spot Ethereum ETFs. He suggests a distinction between 'ETH' and 'staked ETH' could be the key. šŸ—ļø

šŸ”¹ Thorn believes the SEC could classify 'staked ETH' as a security, paving the way for spot Ethereum ETFs approval.

šŸ”¹ This move could align with the SEC's ongoing legal battles and investigations, maintaining consistency with previous positions.

šŸ”¹ However, there might be restrictions - ETFs could be prohibited from staking the ETH they hold.

Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analysts have upped their prediction for a spot Ether ETF approval from 25% to 75%. šŸ“ˆ

šŸ”¹ The SEC's increased pace could be influenced by political pressure.

šŸ”¹ The decision on the VanEck spot Ether ETF is anticipated on May 23.

Ethereum's value has surged by over 20% following this news. šŸŽ‰
