VanEck 以太 ETF DTCC 上市，SEC 批准申请

随着人们越来越多地猜测现货以太坊 (ETH) 交易所交易基金 (ETF) 在美国可能获得批准，全球投资管理公司 VanEck 的 ETF 已在美国存款信托和清算公司 (DTCC) 上市，股票代码为“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.

全球投资管理公司 VanEck 的交易所交易基金 (ETF) 已在美国存托信托和清算公司 (DTCC) 上市，股票代码为“ETHV”，暗示现货以太坊 (ETH) ETF 可能在美国获得批准。

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 是美国重要的金融市场基础设施提供商，为市场参与者提供清算、结算和交易报告服务。在 DTCC 上市被认为是获得美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 最终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 网站上被指定为非活跃状态，表明在获得必要的监管批准之前无法对其进行处理。值得注意的是，VanEck 并不是第一个在 DTCC 上市现货 ETH ETF 的公司；富兰克林邓普顿的现货 ETH ETF 于一个月前在该平台上市。

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

DTCC 的清单包括可以处理的活跃 ETF 和等待必要监管审批的不活跃 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，有报道称，SEC 官员已联系纳斯达克、芝加哥期权交易所和纽约证券交易所，以更新和修改现有的以太坊 ETF 现货申请。

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 对 VanEck 现货以太 ETF 申请做出决定的最后期限。此前猜测可能会拒绝现货 ETH ETF，但 SEC 最近的行动改变了看法。

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，申请人还对其提案进行了重大修改，取消了质押奖励，以解决 SEC 的担忧。与比特币不同，以太坊的权益证明共识协议允许用户将其资产放在网络上，为其安全性做出贡献，以换取目前约为 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.

周一，彭博 ETF 分析师 Eric Balchunas 和 James Seyffart 将现货以太坊 ETF 批准的几率从 25% 大幅提高至 75%，在此之前，Ark Invest 上周修改了其申请，删除了质押部分。随后，Fidelity 于周二修改了其 S-1 注册声明，Grayscale 更新了其初步代理声明，删除了所有有关质押或质押奖励的提及。最初，这些文件提议可以通过这些资金将一部分以太币质押给提供商。

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.

更新后的文件可能会解决美国证券交易委员会对加密货币质押的担忧。例如，美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 于 2023 年 6 月起诉 Coinbase 提供质押服务，声称其违反了证券法。

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 的关键截止日期是周四和周五，以决定是否批准 VanEck 和 Ark Invest 分别提交的以太坊 ETF 现货申请。
