Former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Jay Clayton recently spoke on the inevitability and challenges of spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETF) trading. In the SEC's latest approvals, Clayton also explained the issues that need to be resolved for these funds to begin trading and what will happen next.

“Listing approval is just the first step,” Clayton said. The next and more important stage is the approval of the registration documents, which explain the funds' objectives, risks involved and management team to potential investors.

Additionally, when asked about the procedural approach to ETFs, Clayton noted that similar issues have been discussed before. “We went through the same process with the Bitcoin product,” he said, speaking about the possibility of approval of Ethereum ETFs. This means that Ethereum ETFs are likely to be approved. However, as Clayton noted, there are still many questions about Ethereum's legal classification and the details of ETF products.$BTC
