The SEC is currently reviewing 13 applications for spot bitcoin ETFs from notable firms such as Franklin Templeton, Fidelity, BlackRock, and Grayscale. Grayscale Ethereum Trust, the world’s largest ETH investment vehicle, is at the forefront of this push for regulatory approval. However, the SEC has <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/grayscales-ether-etf-awaits-sec-verdict-decision-expected-on-january-25-2024/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">postponed its decision</a> on the Grayscale Ethereum Trust’s spot ETF application. This delay extends the decision timeline by 45 days to January 25, 2024. The delay also impacts other firms like BlackRock, which are awaiting approval for their spot ether ETFs.&nbsp; The coming months promise to be pivotal in shaping the future of cryptocurrency in mainstream finance.
