๐Ÿš€ 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. ๐Ÿ—๏ธ

๐Ÿ”น Thorn believes the SEC could classify 'staked ETH' as a security, paving the way for spot Ethereum ETFs approval.

๐Ÿ”น This move could align with the SEC's ongoing legal battles and investigations, maintaining consistency with previous positions.

๐Ÿ”น 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%. ๐Ÿ“ˆ

๐Ÿ”น The SEC's increased pace could be influenced by political pressure.

๐Ÿ”น The decision on the VanEck spot Ether ETF is anticipated on May 23.

Ethereum's value has surged by over 20% following this news. ๐ŸŽ‰
