Grayscale Seeks SEC Approval for Ethereum ETF With Staking Amid Predictions of Rejection
- Grayscale filed an amendment to convert its Ethereum Trust (ETHE) into an ETF, including provisions to stake ETH and bring in a third party custodian
- The move mirrors a similar ETF application by Fidelity Investments for an Ethereum ETF with staking capabilities
- However, analysts predict the SEC will reject pending spot Ether ETF applications due to uncertain regulatory classification of Ethereum
- Approval of Ethereum ETFs could positively impact the market, as seen with Bitcoin ETFs
- Despite potential prospects, Ethereum price is struggling to gain ground, currently trading 1.6% higher than yesterday but 19% lower than last week
