  • VanEck’s CEO predicts the SEC will likely reject their Ether ETF application in May.
  • Silence from the SEC on Ether ETF applications hints at a lack of approval soon.
  • Analysts lower the odds of Ether ETF approval, citing lack of feedback from the SEC.

VanEck’s top executive has expressed skepticism about the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) willingness to approve the company’s application for an Ether exchange-traded fund (ETF) next month. This sentiment reflects a broader industry uncertainty regarding the approval of cryptocurrency-based ETFs, particularly those tied to Ethereum, the second-largest digital currency by market capitalization.

A Waiting Game

The application, submitted in partnership with ARK Invest, is set to be decided upon by the SEC by late May. However, according to CNBC, the lack of communication from the regulatory body has left many in the investment community doubtful. This silence is particularly notable given the contrast with the process leading up to the approval of Bitcoin ETFs, where the SEC engaged in extensive dialogue with applicants.

The broader context includes seven pending Ether ETF applications from various financial entities, including industry heavyweights like Grayscale, BlackRock, and Fidelity. The anticipation surrounding these decisions is palpable, but recent developments—or rather, the lack thereof—have prompted analysts to reassess the likelihood of a favorable outcome.

Analysts Adjust Expectations

Notably, Eric Balchunas, a Senior Bloomberg ETF analyst, has revised his prediction for an Ether ETF approval, significantly lowering the probability. This adjustment reflects the growing skepticism among experts regarding the SEC’s current stance on cryptocurrency ETFs. The lack of feedback or engagement from the regulator has been interpreted as a negative signal by many, including fellow ETF analyst James Seyffart, who views the absence of communication as an ominous indicator.

Meanwhile, VanEck’s Bitcoin ETF, trading under the ticker HODL, has seen substantial investment inflow since its inception, underscoring the market’s appetite for cryptocurrency-related investment products. The situation continues to evolve, with the investment community closely monitoring the SEC’s moves as the decision deadline approaches.
