SEC Approval and Issuer Details

The SEC’s green light allows multiple issuers, including Grayscale, Fidelity, BlackRock, 21Shares, VanEck, Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, and Invesco, to launch their spot ETH ETFs simultaneously. 

This approval follows the SEC’s acceptance of the issuers’ ETH ETF 19b-4 filings last week, with a requirement for updated S-1 registration statements to be submitted before trading begins.

According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, the SEC instructed issuers to finalize their S-1s with the necessary fee details by Wednesday, ensuring readiness for the official launch. Industry sources confirmed that at least three issuers received preliminary approval, contingent upon submitting their updated S-1s within the week.

Update: Nate's instincts were right, hearing SEC finally gotten back to issuers today, asking them to return FINAL S-1s on Wed (incl fees) and then request effectiveness on Monday after close for a TUESDAY 7/23 LAUNCH. This is provided no unforeseeable last min issues of course! https://t.co/D21FD9Qf94
