Odaily Planet Daily News: Industry executives and other participants revealed that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may approve the spot Ethereum ETF as early as July 4, as negotiations between asset management companies and regulators have entered the final stage. Asset management companies including BlackRock, VanEck and eight others are seeking SEC approval for these funds. They said that the process of revising the issuance documents has progressed to the point where only "minor" problems need to be resolved. A lawyer working with one of the issuing companies also said that this is only the "final touches" and approval may not take more than a week or two. ETF analyst Eric Balchunas had previously expected approval as early as July 2.
