DTCC Lists VanEck Spot Ether ETF

As speculation grows regarding the approval of a spot Ether exchange-traded fund (ETF) on May 23, global investment manager VanEck’s spot ETH ETF has been listed by the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) under the ticker symbol “ETHV.” The DTCC is a key American financial market infrastructure provider, known for offering services such as clearing, settlement, and transaction reporting to financial market participants. A listing on the DTCC is widely regarded as an essential step before receiving final approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Currently, VanEck’s ETF is marked as inactive on the DTCC website, indicating that it cannot be processed until it gains the necessary regulatory approvals. It’s worth noting, That VanEck is not the inaugural Ether (ETH) ETF to be listed by the DTCC. Franklin Templeton’s spot ETH ETF was listed on the platform a month earlier.

The DTCC explains that its ETF list includes both active ETFs, which can be processed, and those that are not yet active and thus cannot be processed. Another piece of information has come to light indicating that SEC officials recently reached out to Nasdaq, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, and the New York Stock Exchange to update and amend existing spot Ether ETF applications.

This noticeable shift in the SEC’s attitude over the past week is purported to have ties to the White House. According to crypto lawyer Jake Chervinsky, politics are a key driver of policy decisions, and cryptocurrency has been winning the political battle for months. He also speculated that former President Donald Trump’s endorsement of cryptocurrency might have pushed the Biden administration to alter its policy stance.

The final deadline for the SEC’s verdict on VanEck’s spot Ether ETF is May 23. After several months of anticipation and speculation regarding a possible rejection of the ETH ETF, the SEC made notable moves earlier this week. Specifically, the SEC requested financial managers amend and resubmit their 19b-4 filings concerning their proposed spot Ether ETFs.

This recent request from the SEC has been interpreted as a positive sign by market observers, significantly elevating the potential approval rate for these ETFs. The likelihood of approval has swung from a previously estimated 25% to an encouraging 75%.

It’s clear that both the general public and industry insiders are closely watching the developments, understanding that approval could significantly impact the cryptocurrency market.

The decisions made by the SEC will potentially pave the way for increased legitimacy and broader acceptance of cryptocurrencies in mainstream financial markets. The outcome of VanEck’s ETF application could also set a crucial precedent for future cryptocurrency-based financial products.

While uncertainties remain, the inclining probability of approval has injected a new wave of optimism into the market. This anticipation underscores the evolving nature of cryptocurrency regulation and its intersection with global financial systems.
