Spot Ethereum ETF Approval Odds 75%: Analysts

According to a recent post shared by Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the SEC is asking the applicants to file new Form 19b-4 on an “accelerated basis” to inform the Commission of a proposed rule change.

Bloomberg ETF analysts now believe that the chances of the U.S. government approving spot Ethereum (ETH) ETFs are much more likely than previously anticipated. Eric Balchunas, Senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg, shared that he and fellow analyst James Seyffart now give spot Ether ETF approval odds of 75%, up from the previous 25%. Balchunas attributed this change in sentiment to rumors circulating within the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that suggest a potential reversal of their stance on the matter.

The hot discussions indicate a potential shift in the political landscape surrounding cryptocurrencies, especially with the upcoming presidential election. “If the spot ETH ETF is approved, it will be a true shock to everyone I know in DC who’s close to this process,” said Variant Fund Chief Legal Officer Jake Chervinsky.
