現貨 ETF 今天將獲批准，以太坊暴漲 20%

這只是以太坊歷史上最重要的發展之一。以太坊現貨 ETF（交易所交易基金）今天可能在美國獲得批准

Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap, might be getting a spot ETF approved in the U.S. today, May 23.

以市值計算的第二大加密貨幣以太坊現貨 ETF 可能將於今天（5 月 23 日）在美國獲得批准。

This comes after months of waiting and anticipation, with several major investment firms, including BlackRock, VanEck, and Ark, filing for a spot ETF.

經過數月的等待和期待，包括 BlackRock、VanEck 和 Ark 在內的幾家主要投資公司都申請了現貨 ETF。

The deadline for SEC approval or denial of these applications started on May 23, and up until a few days ago, analysts largely believed that the ETFs would be denied.

美國證券交易委員會批准或拒絕這些申請的截止日期從 5 月 23 日開始，直到幾天前，分析師大多認為這些 ETF 會被拒絕。

However, the tables have turned, with Bloomberg senior analyst Eric Balchunas reporting chatter that the SEC has completely reversed its stance on Ethereum.

然而，情況發生了轉變，彭博社高級分析師埃里克·巴爾丘納斯(Eric Balchunas)報道稱，美國證券交易委員會已經完全改變了對以太坊的立場。

This was followed by a flurry of potential ETF issuers submitting amended 19b-4 forms to the SEC, indicating that there's a very good chance that the ETFs are on their way for approval.

隨後，大量潛在 ETF 發行人向 SEC 提交了修訂後的 19b-4 表格，這表明 ETF 很有可能正在獲得批准。

These filings are essentially a confirmation of our earlier report on the matter, and while we know the sheer mention of something like a 19b-4 form made you fall asleep instantly.

這些文件本質上是對我們先前關於此事的報告的確認，雖然我們知道僅僅提及 19b-4 表格之類的東西就會讓你立即入睡。

But we mention it because there's another set of forms that need to be approved, the S-1 forms, and those are key for actual ETF approval.

但我們提到它是因為還有另一組表格需要批准，即 S-1 表格，而這些表格是實際 ETF 批准的關鍵。

In practice, this means we could get a very good indication that one or more (probably more) Ethereum ETFs are coming, but it might take weeks or months before they actually start trading.

實際上，這意味著我們可以獲得一個很好的跡象，表明一個或多個（可能更多）以太坊 ETF 即將推出，但可能需要數週或數月的時間才能真正開始交易。

As a result of these filings, the price of Ethereum rose from around $3,100 to $3,800, where it's trading at writing time.

由於這些文件的提交，以太坊的價格從 3,100 美元左右上漲至撰寫本文時的 3,800 美元。

Of course, nothing is official or set in stone. The Ethereum ETF applications could still get denied, though the consensus among experts is that it's now a question of when, not if, it will happen.

當然，沒有什麼是官方的或一成不變的。以太坊 ETF 申請仍可能被拒絕，儘管專家們一致認為，現在的問題是何時而不是是否會發生。

A denial would surely be a cold shower for Ethereum's price, at least in the short term.

否認肯定會為以太坊的價格帶來冷水，至少在短期內是如此。
