BlackRock and NASDAQ have outlined why the SEC needs to approve the investment company’s new spot Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF) filing. According to the filing with the SEC, approval of a Spot ETH ETP would represent a major win for the protection of U.S. investors in the crypto asset space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If approved, the iShares Ethereum Trust would allow regular investors to trade Ether, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, as easily as stocks can be traded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BlackRock And NASDAQ Lobbies SEC To Allow Spot ETH ETFs<\/h2>\n

BlackRock, the world\u2019s largest asset manager, <\/span>recently applied to the SEC<\/span><\/a> to launch an Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF) linked to the spot price of Ethereum. BlackRock wasn’t the first investment company to make this type of application, as hedge fund Ark Invest <\/span>already filed for a Spot Ethereum ETF<\/span><\/a> in September. However, the news of BlackRock’s filing sent Ethereum surging more than 11% in less than 24 hours. As a result, ETH <\/span>broke over the strong<\/span><\/a> $2,000 resistance level for the <\/span>first time in seven months<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

BlackRock’s Spot ETF is called the \u201ciShares Ethereum Trust” and is sponsored by Ishares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC, a subsidiary of Blackrock Inc. Coinbase, the largest crypto exchange in the US, acts as the custodian for the Trust\u2019s ether holdings, which are to be traded on the NASDAQ exchange.<\/span><\/p>\n

In its SEC filing, NASDAQ asked for a proposed rule change in order for it to list and trade shares of the ETF. According to the filing, US investors, for the most part, have lacked a US-regulated way to gain exposure to Ethereum investments. It also argues that most of the current methods are risky and subject to high trading fees and volatile discounts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, an investor who purchased the largest OTC ETH Fund in January 2021 and held the position at the end of 2022 would have had a 30% loss due to the change in the premium\/discount, even if the price of ETH did not change. However, a spot ETH ETP like the proposed iShares Ethereum Trust ETF would better protect investors against the risk of losses through fraud and high premiums.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo this point, approval of a Spot ETH ETP would represent a major win for the protection of U.S. investors in the cryptoasset space,\u201d the filing said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Potential Impact On Ethereum Price If The ETF Is Approved<\/h2>\n

Despite spot crypto ETFs being available in other countries, including Germany, France, and Canada, the SEC has been hesitant to greenlight a crypto ETF in the US, and<\/span> 12 Bitcoin spot ETFs<\/span><\/a> are currently waiting for approval.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A US Spot Ethereum ETF would significantly boost interest and confidence in Ethereum and ultimately <\/span>drive the asset to new highs<\/span><\/a>. The hype leading up to the approval may also push the asset to a new yearly high.<\/span><\/p>\n

ETH is up by <\/span>more than 60% this year<\/span><\/a> and has outperformed BTC in the past few days. It is currently trading at $2,060 and analysts believe a <\/span>bullish cross over $2,150<\/span><\/a> would signal the end of the bear market for ETH.<\/span><\/p>\n
