U.S. SEC Extends Review Period for Franklin Templeton's Ethereum ETF Application

美國 SEC 延長富蘭克林鄧普頓以太坊 ETF 申請的審查期

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decision on the application filed by Franklin Templeton Investments to launch an Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF).

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 推遲了對富蘭克林鄧普頓投資公司 (Franklin Templeton Investments) 提出的推出以太坊交易所交易基金 (ETF) 申請的決定。

In a public notice published on its website, the SEC announced its decision to extend the review period for the proposed rule change, which would allow the launch of the ETF. The Commission determined that more time was necessary to thoroughly analyze the application and its potential implications.

在其網站上發布的公告中，SEC 宣布決定延長擬議規則變更的審查期，從而允許推出 ETF。委員會確定需要更多時間來徹底分析該申請及其潛在影響。

According to the SEC, it must make a determination regarding Franklin Templeton's application by June 11, 2023. The Commission has the authority to approve, disapprove, or initiate proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule change.

根據 SEC 的規定，它必須在 2023 年 6 月 11 日之前就富蘭克林鄧普頓的申請做出決定。

The application submitted by Franklin Templeton in February sought to register a spot Ethereum ETF. If approved, the ETF would be custodied by Coinbase Custody Trust Company and listed on the Chicago Board of Options (BZX) Exchange. The ETF would utilize a cash-only structure for creating and redeeming shares, similar to mechanisms employed in Bitcoin-based ETFs.

富蘭克林鄧普頓 (Franklin Templeton) 在 2 月提交的申請尋求註冊以太坊 ETF 現貨。如果獲得批准，該 ETF 將由 Coinbase 託管信託公司託管，並在芝加哥期權交易所 (BZX) 交易所上市。該 ETF 將採用純現金結構來創建和贖回股票，類似於基於比特幣的 ETF 所採用的機制。

The SEC's extension of the review period comes amidst a surge in interest from asset managers in establishing spot ETFs based on Ethereum. Following the launch of the first Bitcoin ETF, several leading firms have filed applications for Ethereum ETFs. The SEC has deadlines of May 23, 2023, to decide on applications filed by VanEck and ARK/21Shares.

美國證券交易委員會延長審查期之際，資產管理公司對建立基於以太坊的現貨 ETF 的興趣激增。繼首個比特幣 ETF 推出後，多家領先公司已提交以太坊 ETF 申請。 SEC 的截止日期為 2023 年 5 月 23 日，對 VanEck 和 ARK/21Shares 提交的申請做出決定。

In contrast to the delay in the U.S., the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has already granted approval for the launch of spot ETFs based on Ethereum. However, the specific product tickers associated with the approved applications have not yet been disclosed by the SFC.

與美國的延遲相反，香港證券及期貨事務監察委員會（證監會）已批准推出以以太坊為基礎的現貨 ETF。然而，證監會尚未揭露與批准申請相關的具體產品代碼。

The SEC's decision-making process on Franklin Templeton's application will be closely scrutinized by the cryptocurrency industry and investors alike. The outcome will provide insights into the SEC's regulatory stance towards spot Ethereum ETFs and its impact on the broader digital asset market.

SEC 對富蘭克林鄧普頓申請的決策過程將受到加密貨幣行業和投資者的密切關注。該結果將有助於深入了解 SEC 對以太坊 ETF 現貨的監管立場及其對更廣泛的數位資產市場的影響。
