 SEC decision deadline this week on spot eth ETFs… &nbsp; SEC must approve both the 19b-4s (exchange rule changes) &amp; S-1s (registration statements) for ETFs to launch. &nbsp; Technically possible for SEC to approve 19b-4s &amp; then slow play S-1s (esp given reported lack of engagement here).— Nate Geraci (@NateGeraci) <a href="https://twitter.com/NateGeraci/status/1792330334169903568?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May 19, 2024</a>

Spot Ethereum ETFs directly hold Ether as assets and trade like stocks on exchanges, requiring a crucial 19b-4 filing for listing on NYSE or Nasdaq and seeking SEC approval. The S-1 registration offers detailed insights into the ETF’s structure, management, and Ethereum replication strategy. 
The SEC must approve both filings for public ETF sales. The statutory review period is typically 45 days, extendable to 240 days. However, delays are possible, especially in S-1 approvals, reflecting caution amid crypto complexities. 
Approval could propel Ethereum adoption, offering regulated investment avenues. Conversely, a delay or denial might signal ongoing regulatory concerns. Ethereum’s price saw a partial rebound to $3,100 over the weekend as the decision nears. 
The SEC’s cautious approach amid crypto complexities may prolong the approval process, impacting market sentiments and mainstream Ethereum adoption.
