Volatility Shares to Launch Ether Strategy ETF, Pending SEC Approval
Volatility Shares is set to make history with the upcoming launch of the Ether Strategy ETF (Ticker: ETHU) on October 12, 2023. This ETF will be the first in the United States to offer institutional clients exposure to Ether. The announcement was made by Bloomberg’s senior ETF strategist, Eric Balchunas, on Twitter, generating significant attention in the crypto community.
Key Points:
– Volatility Shares plans to list the Ether Futures ETF ahead of other competitors, just as they did with their Bitcoin-linked ETF in the past.
– The CIO of Volatility Shares, Stuart Barton, believes that the Ether Strategy ETF is the next logical step for the company, following the success of their Bitcoin ETF.
– Several other financial giants, including Bitwise, VanEck, Roubhill, ProShares, and Grayscale, are also vying for a share of the Ether Futures ETF market.
– It is speculated that the SEC’s willingness to consider an Ether futures ETF may be influenced by Volatility Shares’ listing of a leveraged Bitcoin futures ETF earlier this year.
– Bloomberg analysts estimate a 75% probability of approval for an Ethereum ETF, while Balchunas is more optimistic with a 95% chance of approval for Ether futures.
Hot Take:
The launch of the Ether Strategy ETF would not only be a significant milestone for Volatility Shares but could also mark a broader shift in institutional investors’ approach to digital assets. The competition among financial giants to enter the Ether Futures ETF market demonstrates the growing interest and demand for crypto-related investment products. With the potential approval of ETHU by the SEC, the crypto industry could experience further mainstream adoption and acceptance.
