现货 ETF 今天将获批准，以太坊暴涨 20%

这只是以太坊历史上最重要的发展之一。以太坊现货 ETF（交易所交易基金）今天可能在美国获得批准

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

按市值计算的第二大加密货币以太坊现货 ETF 可能将于今天（5 月 23 日）在美国获得批准。

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

经过数月的等待和期待，包括 BlackRock、VanEck 和 Ark 在内的几家主要投资公司都申请了现货 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.

美国证券交易委员会批准或拒绝这些申请的截止日期从 5 月 23 日开始，直到几天前，分析师大多认为这些 ETF 会被拒绝。

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，情况发生了转变，彭博社高级分析师埃里克·巴尔丘纳斯(Eric Balchunas)报道称，美国证券交易委员会已经完全改变了对以太坊的立场。

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.

随后，大量潜在 ETF 发行人向 SEC 提交了修订后的 19b-4 表格，这表明 ETF 很有可能正在获得批准。

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.

这些文件本质上是对我们之前关于此事的报告的确认，虽然我们知道仅仅提及 19b-4 表格之类的东西就会让你立即入睡。

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.

但我们提到它是因为还有另一组表格需要批准，即 S-1 表格，而这些表格是实际 ETF 批准的关键。

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.

实际上，这意味着我们可以获得一个很好的迹象，表明一个或多个（可能更多）以太坊 ETF 即将推出，但可能需要数周或数月的时间才能真正开始交易。

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.

由于这些文件的提交，以太坊的价格从 3,100 美元左右上涨至撰写本文时的 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.

当然，没有什么是官方的或一成不变的。以太坊 ETF 申请仍可能被拒绝，尽管专家们一致认为，现在的问题是何时而不是是否会发生。

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

否认肯定会给以太坊的价格带来冷水，至少在短期内是这样。
