Ark Invest Applies for Spot Ethereum ETF
An important development has occurred regarding the Ethereum ETFs, which have been widely discussed in the public in the past months. Ark Invest applied for Spot Ethereum ETF to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) during the week. Analysts suggested that if the Spot Ethereum ETF application is approved by the SEC, the approved ETF could have a significant impact on the price performance of ETH. At the same time, if the application is approved, this ETF will be the second Spot Ethereum ETF in the U.S.
However, although it is suggested that the approval of the Spot Ethereum ETF application could have a significant impact on the ETH price, the expectation for the approval of the Spot Bitcoin ETF applications has not yet had a striking impact on the BTC price, despite the strengthening expectations for approval by the SEC in the markets. The decision regarding the Spot Bitcoin ETF applications has been postponed by the SEC.
