Background on Bitcoin and Ethereum Futures ETFs

Several companies have launched Bitcoin and Ethereum futures ETFs, which invest in futures contracts rather than directly in the cryptocurrencies themselves. These include:

  • VanEck and ProShares Bitcoin futures ETFs
  • VanEck and ProShares Ethereum futures ETFs

Hashdex’s Proposed Bitcoin Spot ETF

In September 2022, crypto asset manager Hashdex filed with the SEC to convert its Bitcoin futures ETF into a Bitcoin spot ETF. The proposed fund would hold a mix of Bitcoin futures, spot Bitcoin, and cash to avoid risks of market manipulation.

Other firms like Fidelity and BlackRock have also applied for spot Bitcoin ETFs. Approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs could further support the rebounding crypto market.

Grayscale’s Proposed Ethereum Spot ETF

Shortly after the first Ethereum futures ETFs were approved, Grayscale Investments filed with the SEC to convert its Ethereum futures ETF into a spot ETF.

The SEC’s Decision

In separate filings on November 15, 2023, the SEC declared it needs more time to evaluate the proposed rule changes for both the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF and Grayscale Ethereum ETF.

The agency said it will make a decision on whether to allow the conversions by January 1, 2024. The additional time will allow the SEC to fully consider the implications of approving the first spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
