SEC Approval and Regulatory Developments
Form S-1, a crucial document submitted to the SEC, provides detailed financial, operational, and risk analysis information for ETFs before they can be publicly traded. SEC Chair Gary Gensler suggests the process may be completed by summer.
On May 23, the SEC approved 19b-4 filings from eight Ether ETF bidders. These applications, however, still require Form S-1 approvals before trading can commence on U.S. exchanges.
The timing of Bitwise’s amended filing coincides with another significant regulatory development with the SEC has dropping its investigation into whether Ether is a security. This decision was announced by Ethereum developer Consensys in a post on June 19, stating that the SEC will not bring charges alleging that sales of ETH are securities transactions.
