Bitwise 表示，以太幣現貨 ETF 即將推出，但確切日期仍未知

Eight spot ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are closer to going live, but an exact launch date is still unknown, according to Katherine Dowling, chief compliance officer at crypto asset manager Bitwise.

加密資產管理公司 Bitwise 首席合規官 Katherine Dowling 表示，八隻現貨以太坊交易所交易基金 (ETF) 即將上線，但確切的推出日期仍未知。

“We’re seeing in the S-1 amendments that there are fewer and fewer issues that are being vetted back and forth between issuers and the SEC,” Dowling told Bloomberg on July 9.

「我們在 S-1 修正案中看到，發行人與 SEC 之間反覆審查的問題越來越少，」道林在 7 月 9 日告訴彭博社。

Form S-1s provide information about the issuer and the securities they intend to offer. Once approved, the products can launch.

S-1 表格提供有關發行人及其打算發行的證券的資訊。一旦獲得批准，產品就可以推出。

SEC Chair Gary Gensler recently tipped the spot ether (ETH) ETFs to launch sometime in the summer.

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 主席 Gary Gensler 最近暗示，現貨以太坊 (ETH) ETF 將在夏季某個時候推出。

“Everyone has a different definition of summer. It’s been a little bit of a long, hot summer for the issuers waiting,” said Dowling.

「每個人對夏天都有不同的定義。對於等待的發行人來說，這是一個漫長而炎熱的夏天，」道林說。

Several spot ether ETF issuers have been waiting for six weeks to have their S-1 registration statements signed off by the SEC after the regulator approved several 19b-4 filings on May 23.

在 5 月 23 日監管機構批准了幾份 19b-4 申請後，幾家現貨以太 ETF 發行人已經等待了六週，等待 SEC 簽署其 S-1 註冊聲明。

The issuers submitted their amended S-1s in early July after the securities regulator provided a first round of feedback.

在證券監管機構提供第一輪回饋後，發行人於 7 月初提交了修訂後的 S-1。

Bitwise’s chief investment officer Matt Hougan speculated the spot ether ETFs could attract up to $15 billion in inflows in the first 18 months of trading — roughly the same amount that the spot bitcoin ETFs have mustered in since launching six months ago.

Bitwise 首席投資長 Matt Hougan 推測，現貨以太坊 ETF 在交易的前 18 個月內可能會吸引高達 150 億美元的資金流入——與現貨比特幣 ETF 自六個月前推出以來吸引的資金大致相同。

SEC is open to funds beyond BTC, ETH

SEC 對 BTC、ETH 以外的資金開放

Dowling revealed the SEC has also been open to discussions concerning non-bitcoin and ether products as well.

道林透露，美國證券交易委員會也對非比特幣和以太產品的討論持開放態度。

“We’ve actually dialogued with the SEC about the possibility of what’s coming down the pipe with new products,” said Dowling.

「我們實際上已經與美國證券交易委員會就新產品推出的可能性進行了對話，」道林說。

The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) filed applications to list spot Solana (SOL) ETFs on behalf of VanEck and 21Shares on July 8.

芝加哥選擇權交易所 (CBOE) 於 7 月 8 日代表 VanEck 和 21Shares 提交了 Solana (SOL) ETF 現貨上市申請。

However, Dowling isn’t confident that a third spot cryptocurrency ETF would be approved under Gensler’s leadership.

然而，Dowling 不相信第三隻現貨加密貨幣 ETF 會在 Gensler 的領導下獲得批准。

Senior Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Blachunas made a similar observation on July 9, saying that a spot Solana ETF application would likely be “dead on arrival” if Biden were to be re-elected and Gensler kept on as the head of the financial regulator.

彭博ETF 高級分析師 Eric Blachunas 7 月9 日也發表了類似的看法，他表示，如果拜登連任，而Gensler 繼續擔任金融監管機構負責人，那麼現貨Solana ETF 申請可能會「胎死腹中」。
