US Ethereum Futures ETFs Poised For October Launch Despite SEC Hurdles

September 28, 2023 by Ammar Raza

Ethereum futures exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are poised to debut in the United States, with Bloomberg analysts predicting that trading could commence as early as next week. The news comes amid growing anticipation within the crypto community and signals a significant step towards mainstream acceptance of digital assets.

Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart recently took to Twitter, stating, “Looking like the SEC is gonna let a bunch of Ethereum futures ETFs go next week potentially.” This tweet, resonating with market players and observers alike, ignited hopes that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) might be warming up to the idea of these innovative financial products.

Eric Balchunas, Senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg, expressed confidence in Ether futures ETFs launching in early October, with Valkyrie leading the way. He credited VolShares for their SEC battle and success, predicting a competitive yet lower-stakes race compared to spot ETFs.

The much-anticipated launch of Ethereum futures ETFs comes on the heels of a series of strategic maneuvers by industry players. Valkyrie, a prominent player in the ETF market, is poised to become the first to hold ETH exposure through its Bitcoin futures ETF (BTF), with the strategy change set to take effect on October 3. 

This move positions Valkyrie as a pioneer in the space, making it one of the frontrunners in offering investors access to Ethereum futures.

However, the real breakthrough moment comes with Volatility Shares, which is expected to launch the first ETF solely dedicated to ETH futures. Their application is scheduled to go effective on October 11, marking a significant milestone in the crypto investments world when it becomes available for trading on October 12.

The race to introduce Ethereum ETFs isn’t limited to just these two players. At least nine issuers have proposed a staggering 15 Ethereum ETFs. While the competition is fierce, not all of these offerings are expected to make it to market, with regulatory hurdles and market dynamics likely to influence the final outcome.

Valkyrie’s Ethereum Exposure Strategy

The intriguing journey towards Ethereum ETFs began with Volatility Shares’ 2x leveraged Bitcoin futures ETF (BITX). In a high-stakes game with the SEC, Volatility Shares held their ground, refusing to withdraw their filing despite the regulator’s reservations. 

This stance may have prompted the SEC to allow BITX to launch, avoiding a potential legal battle that could have had implications for the crypto industry as a whole.

The success of Volatility Shares’ Bitcoin ETF served as a blueprint for their Ethereum ETF filing, demonstrating that navigating the SEC’s regulatory framework was not only possible but potentially advantageous for market participants.
