美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 再次推遲灰階以太坊 ETF 的決定

美國證券交易委員會(SEC) 再次延長了對Grayscale 以太坊期貨信託ETF 做出決定的最後期限，將3 月31 日的最後期限推遲到5 月30 日。這標誌著批准過程的最新延遲，由於加密貨幣審查日益嚴格，這一過程遭到了行業評論員的質疑。繼 1 月現貨比特幣 ETF 獲批之後，基於 ETF 的交易也隨之展開。

SEC Kicked the Can Again on Grayscale's Ethereum ETF

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 再次對灰階的以太坊 ETF 提起訴訟

Hey there,

嘿，

So, the SEC has been dragging its feet on Grayscale's Ethereum ETF for months now, and they just extended the deadline yet again. I mean, what gives?

因此，幾個月來，美國證券交易委員會一直在灰階的以太坊 ETF 上拖延時間，他們剛剛再次延長了最後期限。我的意思是，什麼給了？

More Time for Grayscale to Sweat

有更多時間讓灰階發揮作用

The SEC says they need more time to mull over the proposal, pushing the decision date back to May 30. They're not giving any specifics, just saying they want to give it a good once-over.

SEC 表示，他們需要更多時間來考慮該提案，並將決定日期推遲到 5 月 30 日。他們沒有提供任何具體細節，只是說他們想好好回顧一下。

Grayscale's Gambit

灰階的策略

Remember when Grayscale proposed its futures ETF? Some folks thought it was a sneaky way to get the SEC to approve a spot Ether ETF down the road. If they greenlight the futures ETF, Grayscale could argue that it sets a precedent for a spot ETF.

還記得灰階提出期貨 ETF 的時候嗎？有些人認為這是讓 SEC 批准以太坊 ETF 現貨的一種偷偷摸摸的方式。如果他們批准期貨 ETF，灰階可能會辯稱，這為現貨 ETF 開創了先例。

SEC's Tough Stance on Crypto ETFs

SEC 對加密 ETF 的強硬立場

Since the SEC approved those Bitcoin ETFs in January, the crypto world has been wondering if they've softened their stance on crypto-based ETFs. But it seems like they're still being pretty cautious, especially with Ether ETFs.

自從 SEC 一月份批准這些比特幣 ETF 以來，加密世界一直想知道他們是否已經軟化了對基於加密的 ETF 的立場。但他們似乎仍然非常謹慎，尤其是對於以太坊 ETF。

Capital's CEO: "Increased Scrutiny"

Capital首席執行官：“加強審查”

John Lo, the founder of Capital, thinks the SEC is going to be extra tough on upcoming crypto ETFs, especially Ether ETFs. He says the SEC probably sees the Bitcoin ETF approvals as a bit of a loss, so they're not going to make the same mistake twice.

Capital 創辦人 John Lo 認為 SEC 對即將推出的加密 ETF，尤其是以太 ETF 將會格外嚴厲。他表示，美國證券交易委員會可能認為比特幣 ETF 的批准有點損失，因此他們不會再犯同樣的錯誤。

Other Firms Hit with Delays

其他公司也遭遇延誤

Grayscale isn't the only one facing delays. The SEC also postponed decisions on Ethereum ETFs from BlackRock and Fidelity. It's like the SEC is putting the whole industry on ice.

灰度並不是唯一面臨延遲的公司。美國證券交易委員會也推遲了對貝萊德和富達的以太坊 ETF 的決定。這就像美國證券交易委員會正在將整個產業置於冰點。

Bloomberg's Take: "Not a Good Sign"

彭博社的看法：“這不是一個好兆頭”

Bloomberg's ETF analyst James Seyffart isn't too optimistic about Grayscale's chances. He says the SEC's silence on the Ethereum ETF is "not a good sign."

彭博社的 ETF 分析師 James Seyffart 對 Grayscale 的機會並不太樂觀。他表示，美國證券交易委員會對以太坊 ETF 保持沉默「不是一個好兆頭」。

So, What's the Deal?

那麼，這是怎麼回事？

It's hard to say exactly what the SEC is thinking. They could be worried about the volatility of Ether, or they could just be dragging their feet because they're not ready to commit. Whatever the reason, Grayscale and the rest of the crypto industry are going to have to keep waiting for answers.

很難準確地說出 SEC 的想法。他們可能擔心以太幣的波動性，或者他們可能只是因為還沒準備好做出承諾而拖延。無論出於何種原因，灰階和加密行業的其他公司都將不得不繼續等待答案。
