In his view, this step could mark a significant milestone for institutional adoption of Ethereum, providing broader access and potentially boosting market liquidity.
According to SEC approval updates shared by Reuters, the approval hinges on applicants submitting final offering documents to regulators before the end of this week, the sources said. One source mentioned that all eight are expected to launch simultaneously.
The three industry sources include BlackRock (BLK.N), VanEck, and Franklin Templeton (BEN.N), among the eight asset managers whose applications are likely to be greenlit by the SEC next Monday afternoon, July 22, with trading in the products expected to begin the next day.
A senior ETF analyst for Bloomberg adds to this development, stating that he believes ETFs are likely to begin trading next Tuesday.
