SEC 再次推遲對灰階以太坊期貨 ETF 申請做出決定

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 將 Grayscale 以太坊期貨 ETF 申請的審核期延長了 60 天，理由是需要更多時間來考慮擬議的規則變更。這項決定符合 SEC 對加密貨幣相關金融產品的謹慎態度，此前其延遲批准比特幣現貨 ETF 和推遲對以太坊 ETF 申請的決定就證明了這一點。

In a recent filing, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced yet another delay in its decision regarding Grayscale’s Ethereum futures exchange-traded fund (ETF) application. Initially filed on September 19, 2023, the proposed rule change sought to list and trade the Grayscale Ethereum Futures Trust ETF shares.

在最近的一份文件中，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 宣布再次推遲對 Grayscale 的以太坊期貨交易所交易基金 (ETF) 申請做出決定。擬議的規則變更最初於 2023 年 9 月 19 日提交，旨在上市和交易灰階以太坊期貨信託 ETF 股票。

Despite previous extensions and proceedings initiated by the commission, the SEC has extended the review period by 60 days. Initially set for March 31, 2024, the decision deadline has been pushed back to May 30, 2024.

儘管委員會之前曾進行過延期和訴訟，但 SEC 仍將審查期延長了 60 天。決定截止日期最初定為 2024 年 3 月 31 日，現已推遲至 2024 年 5 月 30 日。

The SEC cited the need for ample time to carefully consider the proposed rule changes and their various issues before reaching a final verdict. The statement read:

美國證券交易委員會表示，在做出最終裁決之前，需要有足夠的時間仔細考慮擬議的規則變更及其各種問題。聲明如下：

Meanwhile, the SEC’s decision comes as no surprise to prominent market watchers, such as James Seyffart, Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst.

同時，彭博資訊 ETF 分析師 James Seyffart 等知名市場觀察家對 SEC 的決定並不感到意外。

Ultimately, the move from the SEC underscores the regulatory body’s cautious approach towards cryptocurrency-related financial products. This cautious approach echoes the SEC’s actions last year when it deferred its decision on Bitcoin spot ETFs until finally granting approval earlier this year.

最終，美國證券交易委員會的舉動凸顯了監管機構對加密貨幣相關金融產品的謹慎態度。這種謹慎的做法與美國證券交易委員會去年的行動相呼應，當時美國證券交易委員會推遲了對比特幣現貨 ETF 的決定，直到今年稍早最終批准。

Following the approval of 11 Bitcoin ETFs in January, the SEC delayed its decision on the spot Ethereum ETF applications from Grayscale and BlackRock. Subsequently, in February, the SEC postponed its decision on a joint spot Ethereum ETF application from investment firms Invesco and Galaxy Digital. 

繼 1 月批准 11 隻比特幣 ETF 後，SEC 推遲了 Grayscale 和 BlackRock 的現貨以太坊 ETF 申請的決定。隨後，2 月份，SEC 推遲了對投資公司 Invesco 和 Galaxy Digital 聯合提出以太坊 ETF 現貨申請的決定。

While the SEC’s decision to delay its ruling on Grayscale’s Ethereum futures ETF might disappoint some crypto enthusiasts, others view the delay as a positive development. They argue that this extension could pave the way for greater adoption of Bitcoin ETFs.

雖然 SEC 決定推遲對 Grayscale 以太坊期貨 ETF 的裁決可能會讓一些加密貨幣愛好者感到失望，但其他人認為這一推遲是一個積極的進展。他們認為，這項延期可能為比特幣 ETF 的更大採用鋪平道路。
