VanEck wasted no time celebrating the approval of its <a href="https://coingape.com/us-sec-approves-8-spot-ethereum-etf/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">spot Ether exchange-traded fund </a>(ETF), releasing a 37-second advertisement urging viewers to “Enter the ether.” The advertisement was posted to social media on May 23, shortly after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved its 19b-4 filing for a spot Ether ETF.

The SEC’s approval of <a href="https://coingape.com/spot-ethereum-etf-is-the-current-silence-early-sign-of-denial/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">VanEck</a>‘s filing places it in the company of other major asset managers like BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, <a href="https://coingape.com/global-bitcoin-etf-close-to-stacking-1m-btc-bullish-for-btc-price/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Franklin Templeton</a>, ARK 21Shares, Invesco Galaxy, and Bitwise. However, trading will only commence once the SEC greenlights each ETF’s S-1 filing, a process that could take several months.
&nbsp;
VanEck’s advertisement poses thought-provoking questions, asking if <a href="https://coingape.com/price/ethereum/#:~:text=Live%20Price%20of%20Ethereum%20(ETH,market%20cap%20stands%20at%20%24455%2C397%2C685%2C852." rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum </a>could fuel a less centralized and open-source economy. The ad’s engaging content has resonated with audiences, amassing over 1,000 reposts and 170,000 views.
&nbsp;
The online community’s response to the ad has been largely positive, with many praising its creativity and messaging. Colin Goltra, operating chief of Yield Guild Games, commended the ad and described it as impactful.
&nbsp;
In contrast, some expressed more playful interpretations. The anonymous co-founder of DeGods private club, X+, known as “Mav,” humorously suggested that the ad signifies a moment when traditional investors are introduced to the possibilities of smart contracts.
&nbsp;
Andrew Thurman, a contributor to the Jito Foundation, humorously compared the ad to something that would appeal to a friend who had a transformative experience living in a yurt after consuming hallucinogenic mushrooms.

This isn’t the first time VanEck has utilized advertising to promote its Ethereum-related products. In late September, the company released a series of ads for its Ethereum Strategy ETF (EFUT), an Ethereum futures ETF that launched shortly after.
&nbsp;
While VanEck has been proactive in promoting its Ethereum-related products, other asset managers who received 19b-4 approvals have remained relatively quiet. <a href="https://coingape.com/breaking-blackrock-bitwise-updates-spot-ether-etf-application/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Grayscale and Bitwise</a> are among the few that have acknowledged their approvals in social media posts.
&nbsp;
Despite the excitement surrounding the approval of the Ethereum ETFs, some industry experts have raised concerns. Coinbase Chief Legal Officer (CLO) <a href="https://coingape.com/coinbase-clo-ethereum-etf-approval-confirms-ethereum-commodity-status/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Paul Grewal</a> emphasized that the SEC’s decision confirms Ethereum’s status as a commodity. Grewal’s sentiments were echoed by others, highlighting Ethereum’s decentralized nature as a key factor in its classification as a commodity.
