Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is still thinking about approving spot Ethereum ETF till 23rd May and given the leash to public for comments.

Uncertainty has surrounded all over the space as big names like Fidelity and BlackRock has applied for spot Ethereum ETF, but we have seen SEC spark to approve it falling. Also, one of the ETF analysts has lowered his estimates for ETF approval to 30%.
 
Let's have a look on some advantages we could have on Ethereum ETF approval:
 
1- GEAR UP TRADITIONAL INVESTORS
The approval of Ethereum ETFs is essential to provide a convenient and straightforward entry point for traditional investors who are hesitant to invest directly in cryptocurrencies.
Traditional investors, it would be a win-win situation for you all!
 
2- REGULATED FRAMEWORK
Ethereum ETFs can provide a sense of security and confidence to investors as they operate within a regulated framework, which can help prevent fraudulent activities and manipulation. This can help investors make informed decisions and have peace of mind knowing that their investments are protected.
 
3- LIQUIDITY
Ether ETFs are traded on exchanges, which means investors can buy and sell shares throughout the trading day at market-determined prices. This provides investors with greater flexibility in managing their investment positions compared to direct cryptocurrency investments, which may have fewer liquid markets.
 
Let's talk about some disadvantages that I consider the worst for me:
 
1-CONTROL
While investing in ETFs, investors have less control over their Ethereum and investment decisions. They have to rely on their fund manager for investment decisions, which might not align with their risk tolerance.
 
2- COUNTERPARTY RISKS:
While dealing with spot ether ETF, investors get exposed on issuer’s replication to Ethereum's price movements and if they fail to do so, the investor have to bear the loss!
 
Thus, spot ether ETFs comes with both the advantages and the disadvantages but I consider that this approval would be the major factor determining the potential growth of Ethereum and for its investors! The benefits has more weightage over the disadvantages, I must say.
What are your thoughts on it?
