Gary Gensler Faces Legal Scandals
Gary Gensler has been in the news recently, dealing with legal troubles and facing criticism of his leadership. In a CNBC interview, he offered no new details on Ether ETF applications, following the same procedural approach as Bitcoin ETFs. The SEC’s delay on multiple Ethereum ETF decisions underscores ongoing regulatory caution.
SEC Tightrope: Caution or Stalling?
Despite ongoing speculation about an Ethereum ETF, the SEC seems to be more involved in ETH than it appears. Various companies have filed applications for Ethereum ETFs, and while Gensler emphasized that acceptance was limited to certain filings and did not mean full support for Bitcoin, the SEC’s recent approvals of Bitcoin ETFs have fueled optimism for Ethereum ETFs. Still, Gensler’s remarks suggest that each submission will undergo a rigorous evaluation process.
Deadline Dilemma Continues
Market sentiment about the approval of Ethereum ETFs is divided. Some predict a high approval rate, while others urge caution due to the SEC’s regulatory scrutiny and strict requirements. Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart suggests that more delays for Ethereum ETFs are likely in the coming months. The SEC’s stance on cryptocurrency ETFs will have a significant impact on digital asset adoption and institutionalization. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s price may rise depending on SEC decisions on ETF clearance in May, with predictions for a potential Ether ETF approval in 2024.
