SEC approves Grayscale, Proshares spot Ethereum ETFs for trading on NYSE Arca
The issuers must still await final regulatory signoff on S-1 filings before listing the funds.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved two spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) — Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust and ProShares Ethereum ETF — for listing on the New York Stock Exchange’s (NYSE’s) Arca electronic trading platform, according to a July 17 filing.
The approval of the so-called Form 19b-4 filing authorizes NYSE to facilitate trading of the funds. However, the issuers must still stand by for final comments on the ETFs’ respective S-1 filings before the spot products can actually commence with listing.
“Grayscale is excited to share that the [SEC] has approved Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust’s (proposed ticker: ETH) Form 19b-4,” a Grayscale spokesperson said in a statement. “The Grayscale team continues to engage constructively with SEC staff, as we seek full regulatory approval for US spot Ethereum ETPs.”
