Gensler Says ETH ETF Approval Process is Going Smoothly

Hong Kong To Approve Spot Bitcoin & Ethereum ETFs By Monday

Speaking at a Bloomberg Invest Summit taking place Tuesday, SEC Chair Gensler said Ethereum ETf approval is “going smoothly.” However, he did note that he does not know the timing of when the product could launch.

The statement echoes similar ones made earlier this month. Speaking before the US Senate Appropriates Subcommittee on Financial Services, he discussed the Ether ETF. During that appearance, he discussed the ongoing approval process.

“Individual issuers still are working through the registration process. That’s working smoothly, and I would envision sometime over the course of this summer.” Gensler also noted that “disclosure and registration,” is all that’s left before the ETFs can launch.

During the Bloomberg Summit, Gensler didn’t hold back in sharing his well-established critiques of the digital asset market. he stated that the industry often uses non-compliant rails outside of exchange-traded products. Moreover, he referred to many cryptocurrencies as securities, while saying most Americans do not get the necessary disclosures.

The incoming Spot Ethereum ETFs are hoping to mirror the success that its Bitcoin counterpart exhibited earlier this year. Just three months after the BTC product went live, the asset reached an all-time high price of $73,000.
