VanEck 以太 ETF DTCC 上市，SEC 核准申請

隨著人們越來越猜測現貨以太坊(ETH) 交易所交易基金(ETF) 在美國可能獲得批准，全球投資管理公司VanEck 的ETF 已在美國存託信託和清算公司(DTCC) 上市，股票代碼為“ETHV” ”。

Global investment manager VanEck's exchange-traded fund (ETF) has been listed by the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) under the ticker symbol "ETHV," hinting at the possible approval of a spot Ether (ETH) ETF in the United States.

全球投資管理公司 VanEck 的交易所交易基金 (ETF) 已在美國存託信託和清算公司 (DTCC) 上市，股票代號為“ETHV”，暗示現貨以太坊 (ETH) ETF 可能在美國獲得批准。

The DTCC, a crucial American financial market infrastructure provider, offers clearing, settlement, and transaction reporting services to market participants. A listing on the DTCC is considered an essential step before receiving final approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

DTCC 是美國重要的金融市場基礎設施​​供應商，為市場參與者提供清算、結算和交易報告服務。在 DTCC 上市被認為是獲得美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 最終批准之前的重要一步。

Currently, VanEck's ETF is designated as inactive on the DTCC website, indicating that it cannot be processed until it obtains the necessary regulatory approvals. Notably, VanEck is not the first to list a spot ETH ETF with the DTCC; Franklin Templeton's spot ETH ETF was listed on the platform a month ago.

目前，VanEck 的 ETF 在 DTCC 網站上被指定為非活躍狀態，表明在獲得必要的監管批准之前無法對其進行處理。值得注意的是，VanEck 並不是第一個在 DTCC 上市現貨 ETH ETF 的公司；富蘭克林鄧普頓的現貨 ETH ETF 於一個月前在該平台上市。

The DTCC's list includes both active ETFs that can be processed and those that are inactive, awaiting necessary regulatory clearances.

DTCC 的清單包括可以處理的活躍 ETF 和等待必要監管批准的不活躍 ETF。

Additionally, reports indicate that SEC officials have contacted Nasdaq, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, and the New York Stock Exchange to update and amend existing spot Ether ETF applications.

此外，有報導稱，SEC 官員已聯繫納斯達克、芝加哥期權交易所和紐約證券交易所，以更新和修改現有的以太坊 ETF 現貨申請。

May 23 is the final deadline for the SEC's decision on VanEck's spot Ether ETF application. Speculation had previously leaned towards a probable denial of spot ETH ETFs, but the SEC's recent actions have shifted perceptions.

5 月 23 日是 SEC 對 VanEck 現貨以太 ETF 申請做出決定的最後期限。先前猜測可能會拒絕現貨 ETH ETF，但 SEC 最近的行動改變了看法。

Moreover, applicants have made key revisions to their proposals, removing staking rewards to address concerns from the SEC. Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum's proof-of-stake consensus protocol allows users to stake their assets on the network, contributing to its security in return for a yield, currently around 3%.

此外，申請人還對其提案進行了重大修改，取消了質押獎勵，以解決 SEC 的擔憂。與比特幣不同，以太坊的權益證明共識協議允許用戶將其資產放在網路上，為其安全性做出貢獻，以換取目前約 3% 的收益率。

Before Bloomberg ETF analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart dramatically increased their odds of spot Ethereum ETF approvals from 25% to 75% on Monday, Ark Invest revised its application last week by removing the staking component. Following suit, Fidelity amended its S-1 registration statement on Tuesday, and Grayscale updated its preliminary proxy statement, eliminating all references to staking or staking rewards. Initially, these filings had proposed that a portion of ether could be staked with providers via the funds.

週一，彭博 ETF 分析師 Eric Balchunas 和 James Seyffart 將現貨以太坊 ETF 批准的幾率從 25% 大幅提高至 75%，在此之前，Ark Invest 上週修改了其申請，刪除了質押部分。隨後，Fidelity 於週二修改了其 S-1 註冊聲明，Grayscale 更新了其初步代理聲明，刪除了所有有關質押或質押獎勵的提及。最初，這些文件提議可以透過這些資金將部分以太幣質押給提供者。

The updated filings likely address the SEC's concerns about staking cryptocurrencies. For example, the SEC sued Coinbase in June 2023 for offering staking services, claiming it violated securities laws.

更新後的文件可能會解決美國證券交易委員會對加密貨幣質押的擔憂。例如，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 於 2023 年 6 月起訴 Coinbase 提供質押服務，聲稱其違反了證券法。

The SEC has key deadlines on Thursday and Friday to decide whether to approve the applications for spot Ethereum ETFs submitted by VanEck and Ark Invest, respectively.

SEC 的關鍵截止日期是週四和週五，以決定是否批准 VanEck 和 Ark Invest 分別提交的以太坊 ETF 現貨申請。
