 BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said an Ethereum ETF (exchange-traded fund) can gain regulatory approval even if it is classified as a security, and added that he is “very bullish” on Bitcoin in the long term.
 When asked in a Mar. 27 Fox Business interview if BlackRock could still list an ETF product based on ETH even if it is deemed a security by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Fink replied, “I think so.” <img decoding="async" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='//www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="BlackRock barges into corporate boardrooms - POLITICO" data-lazy-src="https://cdn.thebittimes.com/images/2024/03/28/e4bfd6da7ec31468a9d1ae31184215c9.webp">

 The SEC has yet to clarify whether the largest altcoin by market cap is a security or a commodity. Congress is pressuring the SEC to clarify its status as securities platform Prometheum plans to launch an ETH custody service.&nbsp;
 The SEC is reportedly aiming to classify ETH as a security and has sent subpoenas to several companies as part of its inquiry into the matter. This potential classification has raised concerns of whether it would even be possible to launch an ETH ETF in the US with Bloomberg Intelligence putting the chances of approval by a May deadline at just 25%.

 Re Eth ETF approval, we are holding the line at 25% odds altho tbh it is a very pessimistic 25%. The lack of engagement seems to be purposeful vs procrastination. No positive signs/intel anywhere you look. Personally hope they do approve it but it just ain't looking good. https://t.co/nuBdCDE18L

 BlackRock is one of eight issuers that have applied to the SEC to launch ETH ETFs.

 While the crypto community awaits the regulator’s decision, BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) has outperformed the other 10 funds that started trading in the US on Jan. 11. Since its launch, IBIT has raked in over $15 billion in assets under management, and is the “fastest growing ETF in the history of ETFs,” said Fink in the Fox Business interview.

 “I’m very bullish on the long-term viability of Bitcoin,” Fink said. “I’m pleasantly surprised and I would have never predicted before we filed it [IBIT application], that we were going to see this type or retail demand.”
