Valkyrie Files Application for ETH Futures ETF
Asset management firm Valkyrie has filed an application for an Ether Futures Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

The ETF will also invest in collateral investments such as cash, cash-like instruments, and high-quality securities. Valkyrie will be limited by position limits set by the CME for ETH futures contracts. This application makes Valkyrie the sixth firm to seek approval for an ETH futures ETF.
