 The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is seeking comments on an amended filing for a spot Ethereum ETF (exchange-traded fund) by asset manager BlackRock.
 BlackRock filed for the iShares Ethereum Trust in November last year. The SEC delayed its decision on the application in March, prompting BlackRock to file an amendment last week.

 Standard Chartered Bank, which was previously optimistic that spot Ethereum ETFs will launch in May, has also changed its stance. The bank said that the lack of active dialogue between the SEC and the applicants made an approval on May 23 unlikely.
 On Tuesday, the SEC delayed its decision on spot ETH ETF filings by Grayscale and Franklin Templeton to June 23 and June 11, respectively. The delayed decision comes as Grayscale filed to convert its Ethereum Trust into an Ethereum ETF.
