Although the firm's CIO said it might be better if spot ether ETFs are approved later than May, Bitwise has officially applied for one anyway.
Bitwise has filed for the right to issue a spot ether exchange-traded fund even as questions continue to swirl around when the Securities and Exchange Commission might give such products the green light.
Bitwise filed its S-1 form for what it is calling the Bitwise Ethereum ETF with the SEC on Thursday. The move follows comments made earlier this month in which the firm's CIO Matt Hougan said it might be better if the SEC doesn't approve the new instruments in May, when the agency is scheduled to approve or deny the first pending applications for spot ether ETFs.
At one juncture, market watchers were confident a spot ether ETF would gain approval, given spot bitcoin ETFs began trading in January. The newly issued products have generated more than $150 billion in trading volume and have largely been lauded as a success. Bloomberg ETF analysts, however, recently estimated the chances of a spot Ethereum exchange-traded fund gaining approval in May to be about 30%.
