The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced a delay in considering the application for a spot Ethereum (ETH) ETF, which was proposed by Invesco and Galaxy Digital. The SEC has stated that it will initiate proceedings to determine whether to approve or deny the proposed rule change allowing the Cboe BZX Exchange to list and trade shares of the Invesco Galaxy Ethereum ETF. The decision deadline has been pushed to 35 days after publication in the Federal Register due to the opening of the investment vehicle to public comment.
