Ether ETFs Should Be Fully Approved by September, Says SEC Chair Gensler

The final approvals for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) trading Ethereum's ether (ETH) should be finished this summer, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler told senators in a budget hearing on Thursday.

Gensler told a subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee in a hearing justifying the market regulator's budget that the process is "working smoothly" after the initial approval of a group of ETFs. The agency had previously granted the initial round of applications, but he said the final registration requirements – filings known as S-1s – are now being handled at the "staff level."

Once those filings are approved, the new ETFs can be listed, opening the wider markets to easy-to-trade funds that hold actual ether, much like the earlier establishment of bitcoin spot ETFs that hold (BTC). The SEC had initially blocked the effort for bitcoin ETFs until a federal court ruled the agency was mishandling the matter, and Gensler has said the SEC has since been following that decision and allowing them.

When asked directly whether ETH is a commodity, Gensler didn't respond with a yes or no, maintaining the uncertain position his agency has held on that asset. At the same hearing, when asked whether it's a commodity, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) chief Rostin Behnam responded, "Yes."

Gavin Baker believes that Nvidia, through vertically integrating its supply chain, securing wafer capacity from TSMC and global critical component supply, and building a financeable data center ecosystem, has become the "central bank" of the AI supply chain, with a moat that is extremely difficult to replicate. Nvidia’s residual value guarantee mechanism allows its data centers to be financed with low equity ratios, attracting institutions such as Blackstone and KKR to participate, while competing products like TPU face significantly higher financing costs.
