Breaking: US spot Ethereum ETFs to begin trading on July 23
Spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been approved to begin trading in the United States on July 23.
On July 22, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the final S-1 registration statements necessary for the ETFs to launch on stock exchanges, including the Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Chicago Board Options Exchange .
The successful spot Ether ( ETH ) ETF issuers include BlackRock , Fidelity, 21Shares, Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, VanEck and Invesco Galaxy.
It comes two months after the SEC greenlit their 19b-4 applications on May 23 — approving a rule change allowing spot Ether ETFs to be listed and traded on exchanges.
The BlackRock-issued iShares Ethereum Trust will be listed on the Nasdaq, while the Grayscale Ethereum Trust will be listed on the NYSE.
All spot Ether ETFs except the Grayscale Ethereum Trust will offer a base fee between 0.15% and 0.25%.
Fidelity, 21Shares, Bitwise, Franklin and VanEck will waive fees on their ETFs for a set period or until the products reach a certain amount in net assets under management.
The Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust will also waive fees for the first six months or until it reaches $2 billion in net assets.

Biden’s decision to drop out from the race was described as a “win for crypto assets” by eToro market analyst Josh Gilbert in a recent note to Cointelegraph:
“The longer that we see Trump staying ahead in the election odds, the more crypto assets will price in his victory.”
Industry analysts expect the spot Ether ETFs to muster between 10% to 20% of the flows that spot Bitcoin ( BTC ) ETFs have seen since those products launched a little over six months ago.
