 The launch of the first spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States is progressing smoothly, with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler <a href="https://youtu.be/0KGpPmDJKfM?si=RSzVi0RWCn2Wv0Nt" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">providing updates on the development at a Bloomberg conference on June 25.</a>

He underscored the importance of transparency and full disclosure in the ETF registration process. His commitment to these principles, while not specifying a launch date or confirming availability before the November U.S. elections, instils confidence in the market. Analysts speculate that the SEC could approve the trading funds as early as the first week of July.
Gensler’s comments came after the SEC <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://www.sec.gov/page/litigation" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">approved</a> 19b-4 filings from eight ETF applicants on May 23. However, asset managers are still finalizing their Form S-1s, the crucial filings that require SEC approval before trading can commence.
During the conference, Gensler addressed billionaire investor Mark Cuban’s <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://twitter.com/EleanorTerrett/status/1801341998856610101?t=8trcqW3CJQmPhXU0BlumBw&amp;s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">concerns</a> that his actions could impact the upcoming election. Gensler refused to comment on elections and focused on enforcing securities laws and ensuring compliance within the cryptocurrency industry.&nbsp;
Gensler further <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://twitter.com/BloombergLive/status/1805676246485090450?t=jNwrgRyV_TU802A-f0mswQ&amp;s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">emphasized</a> that proper disclosure is essential for the approximately 20,000 crypto tokens classified as investment contracts or securities under U.S. law. He highlighted the ongoing legal actions against individuals who have failed to comply with these laws, stating that their actions harm the American public.
In response to Gensler’s remarks, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse <a href="https://twitter.com/bgarlinghouse/status/1805709954613203193?t=JaLftBjCL9hv5IwtF_rVaQ&amp;s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">criticized him on social media</a>, dismissing his comments as “absolute nonsense” and accusing him of overlooking the FTX scandal. Garlinghouse also expressed concern that Gensler’s actions could negatively impact Joe Biden’s chances in the upcoming election.
As the launch of spot Ether ETFs approaches, stakeholders are eagerly anticipating further updates from the SEC. The regulatory landscape is continually evolving, and Gensler’s focus on transparency and compliance is providing valuable insights into the SEC’s approach to the emerging cryptocurrency market, making stakeholders feel involved and informed.
