Gensler Predicts Ethereum ETFs Approval by ‘End of Summer’
Jun 14, 2024 at 06:02 am
Spot Ethereum ETFs are likely no more than three months away from launching, with SEC chair Gary Gensler telling a senate committee his agency will greenlight the funds by fall.
The SEC is aiming to give spot Ether ETFs final approval before the end of summer, Gary Gensler told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee. While the regulator approved the 19b-4 forms of prospective Ethereum ETF issuers last month, the SEC still needs to greenlight their S-1 registration statements.
Meanwhile, Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov suffered a roughly $80 million liquidation amid a sharp pullback in the price of CRV. Egorov had taken out $95.7 million worth of stablecoin loans backed by $141 million worth of CRV.
Elsewhere, Terraform Labs, the company behind the failed UST stablecoin, agreed to a $4.47 billion settlement with the SEC. Terraform Labs will pay more than $4B, while the company’s founder, Do Kwon, will cough up nearly $400 million.
In other news, Arbitrum is targeting Stage 2 decentralization, SushiSwap is launching a centralized Labs entity, and Lido, Mellow, and Symbiotic are teaming up to compete with EigenLayer. Additionally, Brazil’s Itau Bank is rolling out crypto trading services, and UwU Lend has suffered its second hack in three days.
