儘管 SEC 進行了安全分類，灰階仍確認現貨以太坊 ETF 有令人信服的理由

在有關 SEC 淡化現貨以太坊 ETF 批准的討論中，Grayscale 的 CLO Craig Salm 澄清說，批准他們的理由充分。 Salm 強調了 SEC 對比特幣 ETF 審批流程的建設性參與，並認為以太坊 ETF 也存在類似問題，因此這次不需要進行廣泛的討論。他強調了批准現貨以太坊ETF的原因，包括與期貨ETF的一致性以及期貨與現貨價格之間的高度相關性。 Grayscale 預計將就此事與 SEC 進一步接觸。

Grayscale's Salm Affirms Strong Case for Spot Ethereum ETF Amid SEC's Classification as 'Security'

Grayscale 的 Salm 證實現貨以太坊 ETF 被 SEC 歸類為“安全”

Grayscale Investments' Chief Legal Officer, Craig Salm, has provided clarification regarding the ongoing discussions surrounding the approval of spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) amidst the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) classification of Ethereum as a "security."

Grayscale Investments 首席法務官 Craig Salm 就美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 將以太坊歸類為「證券」期間圍繞批准以太坊現貨交易所交易基金 (ETF) 正在進行的討論進行了澄清。

Grayscale's Optimistic Stance on Spot Ethereum ETFs

灰階對現貨以太坊 ETF 的樂觀態度

Salm expressed Grayscale's unwavering belief in the strength of its case for the approval of spot Ethereum ETFs. He highlighted the SEC's constructive engagement with Grayscale and other industry participants in the lead-up to the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs. During these discussions, the focus was on key issues such as creation/redemption procedures, custody, and the roles of authorized participants (APs) and liquidity providers (LPs).

Salm 表達了 Grayscale 對其批准現貨以太坊 ETF 的理由的堅定信念。他強調了 SEC 在批准現貨比特幣 ETF 過程中與 Grayscale 和其他行業參與者的建設性接觸。在這些討論中，重點是創造/贖回程序、託管以及授權參與者（AP）和流動性提供者（LP）的角色等關鍵問題。

Salm emphasized that the issues relevant to spot Ethereum ETFs largely mirror those of spot Bitcoin ETFs, with the only distinguishing factor being the underlying asset (Ether versus Bitcoin). Given the SEC's prior engagement on these matters, Salm suggested that less extensive discussions may be required this time around.

Salm 強調，與現貨以太坊 ETF 相關的問題在很大程度上與現貨比特幣 ETF 的問題相似，唯一的區別因素是基礎資產（以太幣與比特幣）。鑑於 SEC 之前曾參與過這些問題，Salm 表示，這次可能不需要進行廣泛的討論。

While acknowledging the possibility of his perspective evolving closer to the final approval or denial dates in late May 2024, Salm cautioned against interpreting the perceived lack of engagement from regulators as indicative of any specific outcome.

Salm 承認他的觀點有可能在接近 2024 年 5 月下旬的最終批准或拒絕日期時演變，但他警告不要將監管機構缺乏參與的情況解釋為任何具體結果的指示。

Echoing Industry Arguments for Spot Ethereum ETF Approval

呼應以太坊現貨 ETF 批准的產業觀點

Salm echoed sentiments expressed by other industry leaders, such as Paul Grewal and Brian Quintenz, regarding the compelling reasons why spot Ethereum ETFs should be approved. These reasons include maintaining consistency with Ethereum futures ETFs, treating Ethereum futures as commodity futures rather than security futures, and the strong correlation between futures and spot prices.

Salm 呼應了 Paul Grewal 和 Brian Quintenz 等其他行業領導者關於以太坊 ETF 現貨應該獲得批准的令人信服的理由所表達的觀點。這些原因包括與以太坊期貨ETF保持一致性、將以太坊期貨視為商品期貨而非證券期貨，以​​及期貨與現貨價格之間的強相關性。

Grayscale's Commitment to Engagement with the SEC

Grayscale 對與 SEC 合作的承諾

Grayscale remains committed to engaging with the SEC and addressing any concerns or questions the Commission may have. The company believes that the case for spot Ethereum ETFs is robust and supported by industry best practices and sound legal arguments.

Grayscale 仍致力於與 SEC 合作並解決委員會可能存在的任何擔憂或問題。該公司認為，以太坊 ETF 現貨的理由充分，並得到業界最佳實踐和合理法律論點的支持。
