Bitwise 表示，以太币现货 ETF 即将推出，但确切日期仍未知

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.

加密资产管理公司 Bitwise 首席合规官凯瑟琳·道林 (Katherine Dowling) 表示，八只现货以太坊交易所交易基金 (ETF) 即将上线，但确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.

“我们在 S-1 修正案中看到，发行人与 SEC 之间反复审查的问题越来越少，”道林 7 月 9 日告诉彭博社。

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

S-1 表格提供有关发行人及其打算发行的证券的信息。一旦获得批准，产品就可以推出。

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

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 最近暗示，现货以太坊 (ETH) ETF 将在夏季某个时候推出。

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

“每个人对夏天都有不同的定义。对于等待的发行人来说，这是一个漫长而炎热的夏天，”道林说。

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 日监管机构批准了几份 19b-4 申请后，几家现货以太 ETF 发行人已经等待了六周，等待 SEC 签署其 S-1 注册声明。

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

在证券监管机构提供第一轮反馈后，发行人于 7 月初提交了修订后的 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 首席投资官 Matt Hougan 推测，现货以太坊 ETF 在交易的前 18 个月内可能会吸引高达 150 亿美元的资金流入——与现货比特币 ETF 自六个月前推出以来吸引的资金大致相同。

SEC is open to funds beyond BTC, ETH

SEC 对 BTC、ETH 以外的资金开放

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

道林透露，美国证券交易委员会也对有关非比特币和以太产品的讨论持开放态度。

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

“我们实际上已经与美国证券交易委员会就新产品推出的可能性进行了对话，”道林说。

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

芝加哥期权交易所 (CBOE) 于 7 月 8 日代表 VanEck 和 21Shares 提交了 Solana (SOL) ETF 现货上市申请。

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

然而，Dowling 并不相信第三只现货加密货币 ETF 会在 Gensler 的领导下获得批准。

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 高级分析师埃里克·布拉楚纳斯 (Eric Blachunas) 7 月 9 日也发表了类似的看法，他表示，如果拜登连任，而 Gensler 继续担任金融监管机构负责人，那么现货 Solana ETF 申请可能会“胎死腹中”。
