The Securities and Exchange Commission could approve applications for spot Ethereum
ETH +0.76%
ETFs as soon as July 4, according to Reuters, which cited anonymous sources.
The SEC "could approve exchange traded funds tied to the spot price of ether as soon as July 4, as talks between asset managers and regulators enter the final stages, industry executives and other participants told Reuters," according to the report published Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Gary Gensler, acting SEC chair, said the process for launching spot Ethereum ETFs was “going smoothly.” That same day, VanEck also filed a Form 8-A for its Ethereum ETF, appearing to indicate that the instrument could soon be trading on an exchange. 0 reply

Ethereum supply has gradually increased since mid-April, with Dencun's upgrade reducing competition for block space on the mainnet. The supply of new Ether is in its longest inflationary period since the merger in 2022, and the Dencun blockchain upgrade in March appears to be responsible, much of this inflationary activity can be attributed to the Dencun upgrade that took place on 13 Implemented in March, the upgrade introduced 9 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), including EIP 4844, which appears to be the main cause of inflation.EIP 4844 introduced blobs, a mechanism that allows transaction data to be stored separately and temporarily, reducing the fees paid for block data on Ethereum's Layer 2 networks.
In addition, Dencun introduced the danksharding proto, where more efficient data was available for block space on the Ethereum mainnet, while this saw a drastic reduction in the cost of executing transactions on Ethereum layer 2 networks such as Abritrum and Optimism. 4 replies
