SEC 再次推迟对灰度以太坊期货 ETF 申请做出决定

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 将 Grayscale 以太坊期货 ETF 申请的审核期延长了 60 天，理由是需要更多时间来考虑拟议的规则变更。这一决定符合 SEC 对加密货币相关金融产品的谨慎态度，此前其延迟批准比特币现货 ETF 和推迟对以太坊 ETF 申请的决定就证明了这一点。

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，美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 宣布再次推迟对 Grayscale 的以太坊期货交易所交易基金 (ETF) 申请做出决定。拟议的规则变更最初于 2023 年 9 月 19 日提交，旨在上市和交易灰度以太坊期货信托 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.

尽管委员会之前曾进行过延期和诉讼，但 SEC 仍将审查期延长了 60 天。决定截止日期最初定为 2024 年 3 月 31 日，现已推迟至 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:

美国证券交易委员会表示，在做出最终裁决之前，需要有足够的时间仔细考虑拟议的规则变更及其各种问题。声明如下：

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

与此同时，彭博资讯 ETF 分析师 James Seyffart 等知名市场观察人士对 SEC 的决定并不感到意外。

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.

最终，美国证券交易委员会的举动凸显了监管机构对加密货币相关金融产品的谨慎态度。这种谨慎的做法与美国证券交易委员会去年的行动相呼应，当时美国证券交易委员会推迟了对比特币现货 ETF 的决定，直到今年早些时候最终批准。

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. 

继 1 月份批准 11 只比特币 ETF 后，SEC 推迟了对 Grayscale 和 BlackRock 的现货以太坊 ETF 申请的决定。随后，2 月份，SEC 推迟了对投资公司 Invesco 和 Galaxy Digital 联合提出以太坊 ETF 现货申请的决定。

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.

虽然 SEC 决定推迟对 Grayscale 以太坊期货 ETF 的裁决可能会让一些加密货币爱好者感到失望，但其他人认为这一推迟是一个积极的进展。他们认为，这一延期可能为比特币 ETF 的更大采用铺平道路。
