The co-founder and president of the company, Justin Young, shared with Cointelegraph via email that they have postponed their plans to launch, with the specific date labeled as “TBD.”

In correspondence with Cointelegraph, Justin Young, the company’s co-founder and president, officially confirmed the cancellation, stating, “You are absolutely correct — we did not initiate the launch today. We did not perceive the opportune moment for this endeavor at this juncture.” 
Nevertheless, when questioned about the company’s future intentions regarding the launch of an ETH futures ETF, Mr. Young responded affirmatively, asserting, “Certainly,” and adding, “Our plans remain to be determined.” 
ETH futures ETFs, in essence, monitor the price fluctuations of ETH futures contracts, which are contractual agreements to trade the cryptocurrency at specified future times and prices. Essentially, these instruments enable investors to participate in ETH trading without the necessity of holding the actual cryptocurrency. 
Previously, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Volatility" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/volatility.html">Volatility</a> Shares had positioned itself as the frontrunner to introduce an <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="ETH" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/eth.html">ETH</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="future" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/future.html">future</a>s <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="ETF" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/etf.html">ETF</a>. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission had been poised to give its approval to the inaugural product on October 12. However, concerns stemming from the impending U.S. government shutdown on October 1 reportedly prompted the SEC to expedite the approval timeline. 
As of October 2, multiple firms have initiated trading in ETH futures ETFs, including prominent names like Valkyrie, VanEck, ProShares, and Bitwise. 
As recently noted by Cointelegraph’s Turner Wright, “The fate of digital assets, whether for better or worse, would have been at a standstill during a government shutdown. Regulatory bodies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission would have operated with limited staff.” 
In a surprising twist, the U.S. government managed to avert the shutdown by passing a temporary funding measure, ensuring continued services until November 17. The Senate overwhelmingly supported the measure with an 88-9 vote, and President Joe Biden promptly signed it into law.
