尽管 SEC 进行了安全分类，灰度仍确认现货以太坊 ETF 具有令人信服的理由

在有关 SEC 淡化现货以太坊 ETF 批准的讨论中，Grayscale 的 CLO Craig Salm 澄清说，批准他们的理由很充分。 Salm 强调了 SEC 对比特币 ETF 审批流程的建设性参与，并认为以太坊 ETF 也存在类似问题，因此这次不需要进行广泛的讨论。他强调了批准现货以太坊ETF的原因，包括与期货ETF的一致性以及期货与现货价格之间的高度相关性。 Grayscale 预计将就此事与 SEC 进一步接触。

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

Grayscale 的 Salm 证实现货以太坊 ETF 被 SEC 归类为“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 首席法务官 Craig Salm 就美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 将以太坊归类为“证券”期间围绕批准以太坊现货交易所交易基金 (ETF) 正在进行的讨论进行了澄清。

Grayscale's Optimistic Stance on Spot Ethereum ETFs

灰度对现货以太坊 ETF 的乐观态度

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 表达了 Grayscale 对其批准现货以太坊 ETF 的理由的坚定信念。他强调了 SEC 在批准现货比特币 ETF 过程中与 Grayscale 和其他行业参与者的建设性接触。在这些讨论中，重点是创造/赎回程序、托管以及授权参与者（AP）和流动性提供者（LP）的角色等关键问题。

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 强调，与现货以太坊 ETF 相关的问题在很大程度上与现货比特币 ETF 的问题相似，唯一的区别因素是基础资产（以太币与比特币）。鉴于 SEC 之前曾参与过这些问题，Salm 表示，这次可能不需要进行广泛的讨论。

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 承认他的观点有可能在接近 2024 年 5 月下旬的最终批准或拒绝日期时演变，但他警告不要将监管机构缺乏参与的情况解释为任何具体结果的指示。

Echoing Industry Arguments for Spot Ethereum ETF Approval

呼应以太坊现货 ETF 批准的行业观点

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 呼应了 Paul Grewal 和 Brian Quintenz 等其他行业领导者关于以太坊 ETF 现货应该获得批准的令人信服的理由所表达的观点。这些原因包括与以太坊期货ETF保持一致性、将以太坊期货视为商品期货而不是证券期货，以及期货与现货价格之间的强相关性。

Grayscale's Commitment to Engagement with the SEC

Grayscale 仍致力于与 SEC 合作并解决委员会可能存在的任何担忧或问题。该公司认为，以太坊 ETF 现货的理由很充分，并得到行业最佳实践和合理法律论据的支持。
