🎉🚀 Heads up, Bitcoin enthusiasts! Alex Thorn, Galaxy Research's Head of Research, has speculated that the SEC might differentiate between Ethereum (ETH) and staked Ether, potentially classifying the latter as a security. 🧐 This could pave the way for the approval of spot Ethereum ETFs, a move the SEC has been hesitant about so far. 🤔 Thorn suggests that this shift might come with certain restrictions, such as prohibiting ETFs from staking the ETH they hold. 🚫 Meanwhile, Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart have upped their prediction for a spot Ether ETF approval from 25% to 75%! 📈 This change follows chatter that the SEC might adopt a more favorable stance towards these applications. 🤞 However, they clarified that their increased odds only apply to 19b-4 approvals, with the SEC's decision on the VanEck spot Ether ETF expected on May 23. 🗓️ In response to this news, Ethereum's value has surged by over 20%! 💥 Despite previous market consensus that approval was unlikely, it seems the tide might be turning. Stay tuned, crypto fans! 🎢🚀
