Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Institute, hints at a potential mid-July launch for spot Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) ETFs, a move that could significantly impact the cryptocurrency market.
What Happened: Geraci, who has previously made headlines for his predictions on the potential approval dates, took to X Tuesday to discuss the timeline for the launch of spot Ethereum ETFs.
Geraci underlined that the amended S-1s are due by July 8, in line with Bloomberg’s forecast, with potential final S-1s by July 12. This would theoretically mean a launch in the week of July 15.
The approval of the 19b-4 forms in May got ETFs one step closer to being launched for trading. The SEC asked the ETF applicants to submit the revised S-1 registration statements, the final hurdle before the cryptocurrency funds become a reality, by July 8.
Why It Matters: Speculation around investment vehicles tracking spot prices of the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency has surged, with Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas pushing back the entire process to July 8.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Ethereum was exchanging hands at $3,384.45, down 1.87% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
