 Update: I believe this filing from <a href="https://twitter.com/BitwiseInvest?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@BitwiseInvest</a> is the first of the amended <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Ethereum?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#Ethereum</a> ETF S-1's. This will contain the changes from the SEC's first round of comments. Unknown if more rounds will be needed.

The changes made to the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2013744/000199937124007581/bitwise-s1a_061824.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">S-1 document</a> describe the initial capital-raising process for the Bitwise Ethereum ETF. Bitwise Investment Manager, LLC intends to acquire $2.5 million worth of shares, Seed Baskets, at $25 per share, 100,000 shares.&nbsp; 
Also, Pantera Capital Management LP has expressed its desire to purchase up to $100 million worth of shares. Although non-binding, this interest suggests a high potential demand for cryptocurrency-based ETFs. 
The process of initiating the Ethereum ETF requires compliance with the legal requirements. Last month, the <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/05/24/sec-finally-approves-ethereum-spot-etfs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SEC approved 19b-4 forms for eight Ethereum ETFs</a>, including the one by Bitwise. However, these issuers can only begin trading after their S-1 statements have been made effective. 
Ethereum’s <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/" target="_blank" data-type="link" data-id="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">price surged by 3.46%</a>, settling at $3,557, before the Ethereum ETF launch, with a slight 3.50% increase in market cap reflecting mixed investor sentiments, while a 7.08% drop in trading volume hints at evolving investor activity. 
Bloomberg’s James Seyffart and other analysts express optimism, suggesting potential SEC approval of the ETFs before July 4, indicating growing market interest and the importance of cryptocurrency ETFs. 
Bitwise’s $2.5 million seed investment and Pantera Capital’s interest prove a high demand for Ethereum ETFs. There are expectations of approvals from the SEC that may greatly affect the market of Ethereum among investors.
