以太坊 (ETH) ETF 批准週開始，SEC 要求發行人提供最終文件

第二大加密貨幣以太坊似乎即將推出自己的現貨交易所交易基金（ETF）。

Major cryptocurrency Ethereum could finally be getting its own spot Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) as early as next week.

主要加密貨幣以太坊最快可能在下週推出自己的現貨交易所交易基金（ETF）。

Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas reported Wednesday that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is requesting final documents from applicants, with a launch date set for July 23.

彭博分析師 Eric Balchunas 週三報導稱，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 正在要求申請人提供最終文件，啟動日期定於 7 月 23 日。

“Hearing SEC finally got back to issuers today, asking them to return FINAL S-1s on Wed (incl fees) and then request effectiveness on Monday after close for a Tuesday 7/23 LAUNCH,” Balchunas tweeted.

Balchunas 發推文稱：“聽證會 SEC 今天終於回复發行人，要求他們在周三歸還最終 S-1（包括費用），然後在周一 7 月 23 日週二發射結束後請求生效。”

“This is provided no unforeseeable last minute issues of course!” he added.

“當然，這不會在最後一刻出現不可預見的問題！”他加了。

Eight entities are currently awaiting SEC approval for their Ethereum ETF applications. These include major players like Grayscale, BlackRock, and Fidelity, who already dominate the Bitcoin ETF market. Collectively, these issuers hold approximately 763,343 BTC, valued at $48.5 billion.

目前，八家實體正在等待 SEC 批准其以太坊 ETF 申請。其中包括 Grayscale、BlackRock 和 Fidelity 等主要參與者，他們已經主導了比特幣 ETF 市場。這些發行人總共持有約 763,343 枚 BTC，價值 485 億美元。

Ethereum ETF approval news comes as no surprise to crypto enthusiasts. Earlier this week, ETF Institute co-founder Nate Geraci predicted that this week would be the “Ethereum ETF approval week.”

以太坊 ETF 核准的消息對於加密貨幣愛好者來說並不意外。本週早些時候，ETF Institute 聯合創始人 Nate Geraci 預測本週將是「以太坊 ETF 批准週」。

The approval for the ETH ETF comes less than two months after the SEC issued an approval for applicants in May. Notably, the speed of the review process is faster than the Spot Bitcoin ETF, which took over a decade to get approved.

距離 SEC 5 月批准申請人不到兩個月，ETH ETF 就獲得了批准。值得注意的是，審核過程的速度比現貨比特幣ETF快，後者花了十多年才獲得批准。

Meanwhile, analysts from Presto Research covered Ethereum’s prospects in a Tuesday market report.

同時，Presto Research 的分析師在周二的市場報告中探討了以太坊的前景。

“While it’s difficult for ETH to topple BTC on the first point, ETH can potentially catch up with BTC on institutional branding starting next week, given that its spot ETF trading is likely to commence on July 23rd,” the analysts noted.

分析師指出，“雖然 ETH 很難在第一點上推翻 BTC，但考慮到其現貨 ETF 交易可能會在 7 月 23 日開始，ETH 可能會從下週開始在機構品牌方面趕上 BTC。”

The research firm predicted that in the near term, the ETH/BTC ratio could potentially recover to the level recorded in mid-May when the SEC first approved the 19b-4 forms for spot ether ETFs.

該研究公司預測，短期內，ETH/BTC 比率可能會恢復至 5 月中旬 SEC 首次批准現貨以太 ETF 19b-4 表格時的水平。

“Over the long term, restoring the ETH/BTC ratio to the 2021 bull cycle level would imply far more upside potential,” the analysts added.

分析師補充說：“從長遠來看，將 ETH/BTC 比率恢復至 2021 年牛市週期水平將意味著更大的上行潛力。”

The cryptocurrency market has reacted positively to this news, with Ethereum’s price up 2% to $3,414. ETH is up 14% in the past fortnight.

加密貨幣市場對此消息反應積極，以太幣價格上漲 2% 至 3,414 美元。過去兩週，ETH 上漲了 14%。

If the spot Bitcoin ETF approval — which saw the asset soar to new all-time highs in a matter of weeks — is any indication, ETH could be pushed to its previous peak of $4,840 in record time.

如果現貨比特幣 ETF 的批准（該資產在幾週內飆升至歷史新高）有任何跡象的話，那麼 ETH 可能會在創紀錄的時間內被推升至之前的峰值 4,840 美元。
