Grayscale, Coinbase sit down with SEC over spot Ether ETF

Grayscale and Coinbase met with the SEC on March 6 to address concerns about the conversion of Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust into a spot ETF.

Crypto firms Grayscale and Coinbase recently met with United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) officials to discuss a rule change for the launch of spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Grayscale is seeking to convert its Ethereum Trust — which tracks the market price of Ether into an ETF, similar to the conversion of its Bitcoin Trust to an ETF in January. The meeting, held on March 6, followed the end of the commenting period for the proposal and addressed concerns about possible market manipulation should the fund be approved.

According to a presentation shared by the SEC, Coinbase argued that the same reasoning that led to the approval of Bitcoin ETFs should be applied to Ether since the token has “mechanisms that significantly limit ETH’s susceptibility to fraud and manipulation.”

Another presentation point relates to Coinbase’s surveillance-sharing agreement with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). The mechanism was implemented for Bitcoin ETFs at the request of the SEC to improve trading monitoring.

Grayscale is also proposing a second ETF for Ether futures trading. The main difference between spot and futures markets is that spot market assets are traded immediately, whereas, in the futures market, contracts are made to buy or sell assets at a future date for a specific price.

The post discusses a clever tactic employed by #MagicEden in their transactions with #Coinbase. Instead of using their own address to receive tiny outputs for marketplace fees, they use their Coinbase account address. As a result, Coinbase is left with the responsibility of paying the fees to consolidate these small outputs, leading to significant losses due to inefficient handling. The post suggests simple fixes for Coinbase, such as excluding small outputs from normal withdrawal selections and implementing a separate process for consolidating small outputs. It highlights a transaction as an example, demonstrating how the issue of bad fee estimation is compounded by poor coin selection, ultimately costing Coinbase substantially more in fees. The post urges Coinbase to address these issues promptly to avoid further financial losses.

In the 2017 bullrun, i went from $2k to $150k.

Then i lost almost all of it.

From $10k, i grew one of my wallet to $900k+

🚨 Update on Coinbase vs SEC Legal Battle 🚨
The first round of oral arguments has concluded, and the judge, Katherine Polk Failla, is impressed with Coinbase's grasp of the complex issues. The DeFi community's amicus brief, praised by the judge, argued that Coinbase's staking doesn't qualify as an unregistered security.
Judge Failla questioned the SEC's reliance on the Howey Test, citing crypto-supportive Senator Cynthia Lummis's perspective: "We've had 90 years where these securities laws have applied. But now we have something new." Coinbase contends the SEC's interpretation is too broad.
The company's lawyer argued, "I think there would have been a lot of surprise in the 1933/1934 Congress to find an investment contract didn’t have anything to do with a contract at all."
Awaiting the judge's decision, legal experts suggest a 2 to 6-week timeframe. Will this case follow Ripple Labs' prolonged legal battle with the SEC? Stay tuned for updates!
