This type of filing doesn&#8217;t trigger an immediate countdown for SEC approval. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Told you guys to expect some 19b-4&#39;s!! haha.

In this 19b-4 filing, the CBOE formally requested that the ARK 21Shares and the VanEck Ethereum ETF investment products be listed on CBOE&#8217;s BZX Exchange.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">James Seyffart pointed out that the 19b-4 filings, in contrast to the earlier S-1 filings, signified that the SEC&#8217;s decision-making process is now in motion. Also, it started the countdown for a final decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How does this differ from a futures Ethereum ETF?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Futures-based <a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/ethereum-optimism-around-futures-etf-approval-fuels-recovery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ethereum ETFs<\/a> differ significantly from spot Ethereum ETFs. In futures-based ETFs, ETH itself is not held as an asset. Instead, these ETFs utilize derivative contracts, particularly futures contracts, as their underlying assets. As a result, the value of these ETFs is directly tied to the performance of ETH futures contracts and may not necessarily track the real-time spot price of ETH.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the liquidity of futures ETFs is contingent upon the liquidity of the ETH futures contracts they are based on. If the futures contracts themselves lack liquidity, it can impact the liquidity and trading of the ETF.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conversely, spot <a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/valkyrie-charts-new-territory-files-for-ethereum-futures-etf-with-sec\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ethereum ETFs<\/a> hold actual ETH as their underlying asset. This means that they closely follow the spot price of ETH, which is the current market price of Ethereum. Also, the liquidity of spot Ethereum ETFs is determined by ETH&#8217;s availability and trading volume.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How these filings could impact Ethereum<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Introducing an <a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/ethereum-etf-race-intensifies-as-volatility-shares-enters-the-fray\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ethereum ETF<\/a> would simplify gaining exposure to ETH for a wider spectrum of investors. This enhanced accessibility has the potential to stimulate greater demand for Ethereum. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, ETFs are renowned for their high liquidity, and establishing an Ethereum ETF could enhance liquidity in the Ethereum market. This increased liquidity can draw in more traders and investors, potentially resulting in elevated trading volumes.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Realistic or not, here&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/calculator\/marketcap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ETH&#8217;s market cap in BTC&#8217;s terms<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><b>How ETH reacted to the ETF news<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 4-hour timeframe chart of <a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/does-ethereums-utility-make-it-better-than-bitcoin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ethereum<\/a> displayed a modest price uptick on 6 September. By the close of trading, ETH was trading at approximately $1,632, showing a slight price increase on a daily timeframe. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, as of this writing, it had retraced some of these gains and was trading at around $1,630. This suggested that the recent ETF-related news had a minimal impact on its ongoing price trend. However, this could change once news of ETF approval emerges.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_341706\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-341706\" style=\"width: 1265px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ETHUSD_2023-09-07_12-03-49.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-341706 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ETHUSD_2023-09-07_12-03-49.png\" alt=\"Ethereum price trend\" width=\"1265\" height=\"707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ETHUSD_2023-09-07_12-03-49.png 1265w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ETHUSD_2023-09-07_12-03-49-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ETHUSD_2023-09-07_12-03-49-1024x572.png 1024w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ETHUSD_2023-09-07_12-03-49-768x429.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1265px) 100vw, 1265px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-341706\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: TradingView<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum&#8217;s ETF race begins, but minimal impact on ETH&#8217;s price.
