Ethereum

Rule

The United States Securities Exchange and Securities Commission (SEC) has approved the VanEck Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF), marking a huge milestone for the market.
The Notice of Effectiveness of the ETF was <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1860788/999999999524002212/xslEFFECTX01/primary_doc.xml" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">filed</a> on July 22 and aims to provide investors with a regulated means of gaining exposure to Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price">ETH</a>) in the US.
The approval follows a series of filing and amendments submitted to the SEC, reflecting a long period of regulatory scrutiny.

<h2 data-ct-non-breakable="true" id="the-approval-and-key-filings">The approval and key filings</h2>
VanEck began pushing for a spot Ether ETF with its initial registration <a href="https://www.sec.gov/edgar/browse/?CIK=0001860788" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">filing</a> on May 7, 2021, with prolonged efforts and delays to meet the regulatory standards required for its approval.
Essential filings in the lead-up to the approval include the Prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) and multiple amendments to the&nbsp; Form S-1 as the firm adjusted to SEC compliance requirements.
The SEC requires S-1s for companies planning their first public securities offering, while the Rule 424(b)(3) prospectus provides final offering details after the S-1 is effective.

<h2 data-ct-non-breakable="true" id="s-1-amendments">S-1 amendments</h2>
In July 8 filings, VanEck amended its S-1 registration with the SEC to secure the listing and trading of spot ETF shares.
As the last stage in the SEC ETF approval process, the crypto investments firm 21Shares also made amendments to receive final approval from the SEC.
Both firms’ filings did not include launch dates for US exchanges but indicated that the Ethereum ETFs would be launched as soon as practicably possible “after the effective date.”
