纳斯达克已与SEC正式提交了19b-4表格，寻求批准，以列出21shares Polkadot Trust的股份，这是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.

纳斯达克已代表21shares向SEC提交了19b-4表格，以列出了美国21shares Polkadot Trust，这是美国的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.

该应用程序标志着为投资者提供一种受管制且可访问的方式，以投资Polkadot的本地令牌DOT，该方法用于支付费用和对网络变化进行投票。

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.

据Coingecko称，如果获得批准，ETF将跟踪DOT的现货价格，目前的市值约为64亿美元，使其成为第27大加密货币。该基金将由21Shares US LLC管理，Coinbase监护权将作为基础点代币的数字资产保管人。

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.

与21shares比特币和以太坊ETF类似，该基金将使用CME CF Polkadot指数作为基准。可变溢价结构将在招股说明书中披露。

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，灰度投资还适用于推出现场Polkadot ETF，展示了扩大该资产类别的强大机构兴趣。

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.

今年早些时候，SEC拒绝了WisdomTree和Krypto Money等公司的几项提案，尽管在2021年批准了几个比特币期货ETF，但仍在推出现场比特币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还在扩大其ETF产品。该公司已经寻求基于XRP和Solana（Sol）（SOL）的类似ETF的监管批准。这种战略性扩展强调了21shares成为多种数字资产投资产品的领先提供商的野心。

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正在提议在与SEC的新文件中为其21shares Core Ethereum ETF参与Staging的能力。此举旨在提高ETF为投资者产生的回报。

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

该公司的提议将仅看到用于积分目的的信任控制以帮助以太坊网络。

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

Hashdex还包括自己的Ethereum ETF备案，两家公司都会增加其现有应用程序。

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.

这些事态发展是因为加密货币行业急切地期待SEC对几个现货价格加密ETF提案的判决，包括来自ARK Invest，Cathie Wood的投资公司和位资产管理等公司的公司。

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反复推迟或否认了许多与加密货币相关的ETF提案，经常以对市场操纵和对投资者的保护感到担忧。

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.

该机构对这些问题的立场对于确定21shares Polkadot ETF应用程序和更广泛的数字资产投资领域的未来至关重要。
