<p class="is-style-lead">ETF Research Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence James Seyffart reported that ProShares has announced the launch of a new short Ethereum Futures ETF.</p>
<p>According to the Oct. 13 post, trading is scheduled to kick off in 3 days on Oct. 16th under the ticker $SETH.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="an-answer-to-an-august-filing">An answer to an August filing</h2>
<p>While the SEC fast-tracked approval for all the long and traditional Ethereum futures ETFs, this particular one is proceeding on its originally scheduled effective date. It’s essential to note that this development isn’t a sudden surprise; the ETF had been filed alongside others in August.</p>
