The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) can reject spot Ether ETF applications on May 23, said Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst <a href="https://coingape.com/spot-ethereum-etf-bloomberg-analyst-projects-new-approval-timeline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Eric Balchunas</a>. Moreover, the SEC’s approval of spot Ethereum ETF may not come until the end of 2025.
 The odds of spot Ethereum ETF approval largely depend on the 2024 US elections. If Donald Trump wins, the SEC will have a more favorable change in leadership compared to Gary Gensler.

The U.S. SEC will likely to make a final decision on spot Ether ETF on May 23 and May 24, but experts believe it will be different from spot Bitcoin ETF. <a href="https://coingape.com/us-sec-to-deny-spot-ethereum-etf-reuters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">VanEck</a> and Ark Invest are first in line for the SEC’s decision on May 23 and May 24, respectively.
Lack of interest from the SEC and its officials regarding spot Ethereum ETF, along with Ethereum’s current regulatory status, have made analysts pessimistic about approval this year.

The SEC will likely make decisions on each spot Ethereum ETF applications, with BlackRock iShares Ethereum ETF and Fidelity Ethereum ETF deadline in August.
Meanwhile, Polymarket data reveals the odds of Ethereum ETF approval by May 31 have increased to 13% from a drop to a low of 6% on May 6. The SEC has avoided any constructive discussions on spot Ether ETF with issuers, with disappointment in the crypto community impacting overall market sentiment.
There are upcoming meetings scheduled between <a href="https://coingape.com/spot-ethereum-etf-applicants-to-meet-us-sec-eth-price-to-rebound/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETF applicants</a> and staff members of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), said Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett.

The 2024 US presidential election will impact the chances of Ethereum ETF approval. The SEC will have a new chairperson if Donald Trump wins the election. While Joe Biden throws shade on crypto with his anti-crypto stance, Trump has used crypto to attack Biden.
Meanwhile, billionaire entrepreneur <a href="https://coingape.com/billionaire-mark-cuban-us-sec-cftc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mark Cuban</a> has criticized SEC Chair Gary Gensler and the New York SEC, warning of potential consequences in the upcoming election if current regulatory trends persist.
