SEC trimite decizia ETF Fidelty Spot Ethereum în martie – Decriptare

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) și-a amânat termenul limită pentru o decizie cu privire la ETF-ul Ethereum spot propus de Fidelity până pe 5 martie.

Potrivit unei joi depozit, the SEC “finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on the proposed rule change,” in order to ensure that it has “sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and the issues raised therein.”

James Seyffart, analistul Bloomberg Intelligence ETF a spus că întârzierea era „complet așteptată”, adăugând că „Datele care contează cu adevărat sunt sfârșitul lunii mai, în opinia mea”.

Fidelitate aplicat for its spot Ethereum ETF in November 2023, joining the likes of BlackRock, Ark Invest/21shares și VanEck.

Seyffart’s colleague Eric Balchunas a exprimat încredere that an Ethereum ETF would be approved in 2024 earlier this month, asserting that there is a 70% chance of an approval by May. Speaking on Ora FOMO de la Rug Radio, Balchunas said that the SEC’s prior approval of Ethereum futures ETFs has backed the regulator into a corner, since its approval of Bitcoin futures ETFs resulted in a hotărâre judecătorească la revizuiască Grayscale’s spot Bitcoin ETF application.

The SEC last week approved multiple spot Bitcoin ETF applications, with chair Gary Gensler conceding that circumstances had „Schimbat” following the court order.

“Ipso facto, you have to approve an Ether spot [ETF], or you’re going to get sued again for the same exact reason,” Balchunas said during a Rug Radio apariție la sfârșitul săptămânii trecute.

În lucrarea sa declaraţie following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, SEC chair Gensler took pains to state that “today’s Commission action is cabined to ETPs holding one non-security commodity,” Bitcoin, and that “It should in no way signal the Commission’s willingness to approve listing standards for crypto asset securities.” Gensler added that, “Nor does the approval signal anything about the Commission’s views as to the status of other crypto assets under the federal securities laws.”

During his term as SEC chair, Gensler has repeatedly refuzat to clarify whether the regulator considers Ethereum un titlu de valoare sau o marfă.

Prior to taking his position at the regulator, while teaching a course on blockchain at MIT, Gensler stabilit that Ethereum is “not a security” in the eyes of the SEC, noting that it considered the cryptocurrency “sufficiently decentralized” that it doesn’t qualify. Gensler was seemingly mirroring the opinion of the SEC’s former Director of Corporate Finance William Hinman în mult-citatul său „suficient de descentralizat” discurs din iunie 2018.

Gensler’s fellow regulator, chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Rostin Behnam, has expressed the Vizualizează that Ethereum should be considered a commodity.
