WisdomTree將終止以太坊ETF註冊

美國投資公司 WisdomTree 在向美國證券交易委員會（SEC）提交三年後，要求撤回其以太坊信託註冊聲明。

American investment company WisdomTree has now filed a request to withdraw its Ethereum Trust registration statement, three years after submitting it to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This news comes a few hours after fellow asset manager VanEck closed down its Ethereum futures ETF due to a lack of demand.

在向美國證券交易委員會（SEC）提交以太坊信託註冊聲明三年後，美國投資公司 WisdomTree 現在已提出撤回其以太坊信託註冊聲明的請求。這一消息是在資產管理公司 VanEck 由於需求不足而關閉其以太坊期貨 ETF 幾個小時後發布的。

WisdomTree filed a Form S-1 registration statement with the SEC on May 27, 2021, aiming to launch an ETF that would provide investors with exposure to Ethereum at a lower cost and with reduced liability. The ETF, titled “WisdomTree Ethereum Trust,” was set to be listed on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe). The proposed maximum aggregate offering price of the ETF was $1,000,000.

WisdomTree 於 2021 年 5 月 27 日向 SEC 提交了 S-1 表格註冊聲明，旨在推出一款 ETF，為投資者提供以更低的成本和更少的責任投資以太坊的機會。該ETF名為“WisdomTree Ethereum Trust”，計劃在芝加哥期權交易所（Cboe）上市。 ETF 的擬議最高總發行價為 1,000,000 美元。

However, WisdomTree has now decided to withdraw the registration statement of the ETF, along with all relevant exhibits. The asset manager has stated that no securities in relation to the said application have been or will be sold to investors. Additionally, WisdomTree has acknowledged that the filing fees for this registration statement, amounting to $109.10, cannot be refunded. They have also requested that these fees be directed toward future use.

然而，WisdomTree現在決定撤回該ETF的註冊聲明以及所有相關證據。資產管理公司表示，與上述申請相關的任何證券已經或將不會出售給投資者。此外，WisdomTree 承認該註冊聲明的申請費為 109.10 美元，無法退還。他們還要求將這些費用直接用於未來的使用。

This development comes shortly after VanEck announced plans to shut down its VanEck Ethereum Strategy ETF (EFUT), an investment fund that tracks Ethereum futures contracts. According to VanEck, this decision was made after considering various factors such as “performance, liquidity, assets under management, and investor interest.” Trading activity on EFUT will cease on September 16, and shares will be liquidated on or around September 23.

這項進展是在 VanEck 宣布計劃關閉其 VanEck 以太坊策略 ETF (EFUT)（追蹤以太坊期貨合約的投資基金）後不久發生的。 VanEck表示，這項決定是在考慮了「業績、流動性、管理資產和投資者興趣」等多種因素後做出的。 EFUT 的交易活動將於 9 月 16 日停止，股票將於 9 月 23 日左右清算。

Meanwhile, the Ethereum spot ETF market saw an outflow of $6 million in the last day, according to data from Farside Investors. The total cumulative net flows of the nascent market now stand at -$568.5 million despite holding over 2% of the Ethereum market. At the time of writing, Ethereum trades at $2,237 following a 6.64% decline in the last day, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

同時，根據 Farside Investors 的數據，以太坊現貨 ETF 市場在最後一天流出 600 萬美元。儘管佔據了以太坊市場 2% 以上的份額，但新興市場的累計淨流量總額目前為 5.685 億美元。根據 CoinMarketCap 的數據，截至撰寫本文時，以太坊交易價格為 2,237 美元，最後一天下跌 6.64%。
