美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 再次推迟灰度以太坊 ETF 的决定

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 再次延长了对 Grayscale 以太坊期货信托 ETF 做出决定的最后期限，将 3 月 31 日的最后期限推迟到 5 月 30 日。这标志着批准过程的最新一次延迟，由于加密货币审查日益严格，这一过程遭到了行业评论员的质疑。继 1 月份现货比特币 ETF 获批之后，基于 ETF 的交易也随之展开。

SEC Kicked the Can Again on Grayscale's Ethereum ETF

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 再次对灰度的以太坊 ETF 提起诉讼

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，几个月来，美国证券交易委员会一直在灰度的以太坊 ETF 上拖延时间，他们刚刚再次延长了最后期限。我的意思是，什么给了？

More Time for Grayscale to Sweat

有更多时间让灰度发挥作用

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，他们需要更多时间来考虑该提案，并将决定日期推迟到 5 月 30 日。他们没有提供任何具体细节，只是说他们想好好回顾一下。

Grayscale's Gambit

灰度的策略

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.

还记得灰度提出期货 ETF 的时候吗？一些人认为这是让 SEC 批准以太坊 ETF 现货的一种偷偷摸摸的方式。如果他们批准期货 ETF，灰度可能会辩称，这为现货 ETF 开创了先例。

SEC's Tough Stance on Crypto ETFs

SEC 对加密 ETF 的强硬立场

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 SEC 一月份批准这些比特币 ETF 以来，加密世界一直想知道他们是否已经软化了对基于加密的 ETF 的立场。但他们似乎仍然非常谨慎，尤其是对于以太坊 ETF。

Capital's CEO: "Increased Scrutiny"

Capital首席执行官：“加强审查”

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 创始人 John Lo 认为 SEC 对即将推出的加密 ETF，尤其是以太 ETF 将会格外严厉。他表示，美国证券交易委员会可能认为比特币 ETF 的批准有点损失，因此他们不会再犯同样的错误。

Other Firms Hit with Delays

其他公司也遭遇延误

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.

灰度并不是唯一面临延迟的公司。美国证券交易委员会还推迟了对贝莱德和富达的以太坊 ETF 的决定。这就像美国证券交易委员会正在将整个行业置于冰点。

Bloomberg's Take: "Not a Good Sign"

彭博社的看法：“这不是一个好兆头”

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 分析师 James Seyffart 对 Grayscale 的机会并不太乐观。他表示，美国证券交易委员会对以太坊 ETF 保持沉默“不是一个好兆头”。

So, What's the Deal?

那么，这是怎么回事？

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.

很难准确说出 SEC 的想法。他们可能担心以太币的波动性，或者他们可能只是因为还没有准备好做出承诺而拖延。无论出于何种原因，灰度和加密行业的其他公司都将不得不继续等待答案。
