以太坊 (ETH) ETF 审批周开始，SEC 要求发行人提供最终文件

第二大加密货币以太坊似乎即将推出自己的现货交易所交易基金（ETF）。

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

主要加密货币以太坊最早可能会在下周推出自己的现货交易所交易基金（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.

彭博社分析师 Eric Balchunas 周三报道称，美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 正在要求申请人提供最终文件，启动日期定于 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 发推文称：“听证会 SEC 今天终于回复发行人，要求他们在周三归还最终 S-1（包括费用），然后在周一 7 月 23 日周二发射结束后请求生效。”

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

“当然，这不会在最后一刻出现不可预见的问题！”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，八家实体正在等待 SEC 批准其以太坊 ETF 申请。其中包括 Grayscale、BlackRock 和 Fidelity 等主要参与者，他们已经主导了比特币 ETF 市场。这些发行人总共持有约 763,343 枚 BTC，价值 485 亿美元。

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 获批的消息对于加密货币爱好者来说并不意外。本周早些时候，ETF Institute 联合创始人 Nate Geraci 预测本周将是“以太坊 ETF 批准周”。

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.

距离 SEC 5 月份批准申请人不到两个月，ETH ETF 就获得了批准。值得注意的是，审核过程的速度比现货比特币ETF要快，后者花了十多年才获得批准。

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

与此同时，Presto Research 的分析师在周二的市场报告中探讨了以太坊的前景。

“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.

分析师指出，“虽然 ETH 很难在第一点上推翻 BTC，但考虑到其现货 ETF 交易可能会在 7 月 23 日开始，ETH 可能会从下周开始在机构品牌方面赶上 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.

该研究公司预测，短期内，ETH/BTC 比率可能会恢复至 5 月中旬 SEC 首次批准现货以太 ETF 19b-4 表格时的水平。

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

分析师补充道：“从长远来看，将 ETH/BTC 比率恢复至 2021 年牛市周期水平将意味着更大的上行潜力。”

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.

加密货币市场对此消息反应积极，以太坊价格上涨 2% 至 3,414 美元。过去两周，ETH 上涨了 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.

如果现货比特币 ETF 的批准（该资产在几周内飙升至历史新高）有任何迹象的话，那么 ETH 可能会在创纪录的时间内被推升至之前的峰值 4,840 美元。
