The US SEC has postponed the approval process for several highly anticipated Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), recent regulatory filings show.

The delay affected proposals from investment firms including Grayscale, which added a staking component to its ETH ETF application, along with VanEck, Ark Invest, Hashdex and Fidelity, sparking discussions about the future of cryptocurrency ETFs in the US.

Less likely to be approved

Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart has been monitoring the situation closely. expressed change It stems from his previously cautious and optimistic outlook regarding the approval of an Ethereum ETF.

He noted that the SEC’s lack of engagement on Ethereum-related matters contrasted sharply with its approach to Bitcoin ETFs last fall, dampening hopes for a positive outcome by the crucial May 23 deadline.

Likewise, Eric Balchunas recently pointed out that the lack of bullish signs and sources that existed prior to the Bitcoin ETF approval has significantly reduced the likelihood of a favorable decision for the Ethereum ETF, estimating the probability at 35%.

The conversation went beyond the ETF delay and covered the broader regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies. Some have suggested that the SEC may insist on a court order before approving an Ethereum ETF, citing potential differences between Ethereum and Bitcoin in terms of designation.

However, Seyffart disagreed with the notion that Ethereum could be classified as a security, a notion that could fundamentally affect its regulatory treatment.

The discussion also covered areas of potential outcomes and strategies. Seyffart speculated on the future of Grayscale’s Ethereum futures product and implications for potential legal challenges to the SEC’s decision.

ETF Staking

Meanwhile, both Fidelity and Grayscale have added modifications to their Ethereum ETF applications to include staking components.

Staking, a fundamental aspect of the Ethereum Proof of Stake (PoS) model, involves locking up digital assets to support the security and functionality of the network and providing rewards to participants in the form of additional cryptocurrency.

Like Fidelity, Grayscale’s proposal would allow ETFs to allocate a portion of their holdings to staking through selected providers, potentially including affiliates. The move is designed to explore income generation possibilities within a regulated financial framework, and the ETF is expected to receive Ethereum tokens as network rewards, which can be considered as income for the fund.

But the additional measures come amid increased scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers, who recently called on the SEC to stop approving new cryptocurrency-related ETFs due to concerns about investor risks.

As the May 23 deadline approaches, the cryptocurrency community remains anxious and awaits further developments.
