ETH experienced significant growth last week, driven by investor expectations that, following the approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs, Ethereum would be the next asset to have its own ETF. Several major Wall Street players have submitted applications to the SEC to launch Ethereum spot ETFs, with the decision expected to be made between May and August this year.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, representing one of the entities seeking to establish an Ethereum spot ETF, has stated that this product will bring tangible value to the market.

However, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler has issued a statement indicating that the decision to approve the Bitcoin spot ETF by the commission applies only to Bitcoin and implies the SEC’s stance that many cryptocurrencies are still classified as securities.
