21shares正式向SEC申請Polkadot ETF，尋求批准列出和交易股份

納斯達克已與SEC正式提交了19b-4表格，尋求批准，以列出21shares Polkadot Trust的股份，這是Polkadot ETF。

Nasdaq has filed Form 19b-4 with the SEC on behalf of 21Shares to list and trade shares of the 21Shares Polkadot Trust, a spot Polkadot ETF, in the United States.

納斯達克已代表21shares向SEC提交了19b-4表格，以列出了美國21shares Polkadot Trust，這是美國的Polkadot ETF。

The application marks a significant step toward providing investors with a regulated and accessible way to invest in Polkadot’s native token, DOT, which is used for paying fees and voting on network changes.

該應用程序標誌著為投資者提供一種受管制且可訪問的方式，以投資Polkadot的本地令牌DOT，該方法用於支付費用和對網絡變化進行投票。

If approved, the ETF will track the spot price of DOT, which currently has a market capitalization of approximately $6.4 billion, making it the 27th largest cryptocurrency, according to CoinGecko. The fund will be managed by 21Shares US LLC, and Coinbase Custody will serve as the digital asset custodian for the underlying DOT tokens.

據Coingecko稱，如果獲得批准，ETF將跟踪DOT的現貨價格，目前的市值約為64億美元，使其成為第27大加密貨幣。該基金將由21Shares US LLC管理，Coinbase監護權將作為基礎點代幣的數字資產保管人。

Similar to the 21Shares Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, this fund will use the CME CF Polkadot Index as its benchmark. The variable premium structure will be disclosed in the prospectus.

與21shares比特幣和以太坊ETF類似，該基金將使用CME CF Polkadot指數作為基準。可變溢價結構將在招股說明書中披露。

In addition to 21Shares, Grayscale Investments is also applying to launch a spot Polkadot ETF, showcasing the strong institutional interest in expanding this asset class.

除21shares外，灰度投資還適用於推出現場Polkadot ETF，展示了擴大該資產類別的強大機構興趣。

Earlier this year, the SEC rejected several proposals from firms like WisdomTree and Krypto Money to launch spot bitcoin ETFs, despite approving several bitcoin futures ETFs in 2021.

今年早些時候，SEC拒絕了WisdomTree和Krypto Money等公司的幾項提案，儘管在2021年批准了幾個比特幣期貨ETF，但仍在推出現場比特幣ETF。

Aside from that, 21Shares is also expanding its ETF offerings. The Firm is already seeking regulatory approval for similar ETFs based on XRP and Solana (SOL). This strategic expansion highlights 21Shares’ ambition to become a leading provider of diverse digital asset investment products.

除此之外，21shares還在擴大其ETF產品。該公司已經尋求基於XRP和Solana（Sol）（SOL）的類似ETF的監管批准。這種戰略性擴展強調了21shares成為多種數字資產投資產品的領先提供商的野心。

Furthermore, 21Shares is proposing the capability to engage in staking for its 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF in a new filing with the SEC. This move aims to enhance the returns generated by the ETF for investors.

此外，21shares正在提議在與SEC的新文件中為其21shares Core Ethereum ETF參與Staging的能力。此舉旨在提高ETF為投資者產生的回報。

The firm’s proposal will see only the Trust-held Ethereum being used for staking purposes to help secure the Ethereum network.

該公司的提議將僅看到用於積分目的的信任控制以幫助以太坊網絡。

Hashdex is also including staking in its own Ethereum ETF filing, with both firms making the additions to their existing applications.

Hashdex還包括自己的Ethereum ETF備案，兩家公司都會增加其現有應用程序。

These developments come as the crypto industry eagerly anticipates the SEC’s verdict on several spot price crypto ETF proposals, including those from firms like ARK Invest, Cathie Wood’s investment firm, and Bitwise Asset Management.

這些事態發展是因為加密貨幣行業急切地期待SEC對幾個現貨價格加密ETF提案的判決，包括來自ARK Invest，Cathie Wood的投資公司和位資產管理等公司的公司。

The SEC has repeatedly postponed or denied a number of cryptocurrency-related ETF proposals, often citing concerns about market manipulation and the protection of investors.

SEC反复推遲或否認了許多與加密貨幣相關的ETF提案，經常以對市場操縱和對投資者的保護感到擔憂。

The agency’s stance on these matters will be critical in determining the future of 21Shares’ Polkadot ETF application and the broader digital asset investment space.

該機構對這些問題的立場對於確定21shares Polkadot ETF應用程序和更廣泛的數字資產投資領域的未來至關重要。
