Tron<\/a> blockchain founder Justin Sun<\/a> says the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would not approve an Ethereum<\/a> exchange-traded fund (ETF) in May.<\/p>\n

In an April 28 post<\/a> on X (formerly Twitter), Sun noted that the crypto industry still needs to prepare for a long-term education with regulators, especially in helping them understand how the emerging industry operates.<\/p>\n

“My honest opinion (NFA) is that an Ethereum ETF won't be approved in May. The crypto industry still needs to prepare for a long-term education with regulators, focusing on helping them understand crypto,” Sun said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sun's stance echoes the sentiments of numerous market analysts anticipating the SEC dismissing the pending Ethereum ETF applications.<\/p>\n

For instance, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas<\/a> placed the chances of the SEC greenlighting a spot Ethereum ETF in May at 25%. He attributed this skepticism to the SEC's less active involvement in the application process than the Bitcoin ETF period.<\/p>\n

Also, recent speculations suggest the Gary Gensler<\/a>-led agency has initiated efforts to classify ETH<\/a> as security, prompting the Consensys lawsuit<\/a> against the Commission.<\/p>\n

Additionally, feedback from recent meetings with the SEC<\/a> indicates a pessimistic outlook, with approval prospects appearing bleak.<\/p>\n

These revelations have dwindled the likelihood of an Ethereum ETF approval to 11%, its lowest level this year, as indicated by Polymarket data<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, some optimism persists as ETF issuers like BlackRock<\/a> and Grayscale<\/a> continue to update their applications<\/a> despite the silence and expectation of rejection.<\/p>\n

Notably, asset management firm Franklin Templeton's spot Ethereum ETF appeared on the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) website<\/a> despite the SEC deferring its decision on the ETF application on April 23.<\/p>\n

Craig Salm, Grayscale's Chief Legal Officer, said<\/a> the US SEC's lack of engagement with spot Ethereum ETF applicants wouldn't be a decisive factor hindering\u00a0the prospects of such products.<\/p>\n

“Investors want and deserve access to <\/span>Ethereum<\/span> in the form of a spot Ethereum ETF and we believe the case is just as strong as it was for spot <\/span>Bitcoin<\/span> ETFs,” Salm said.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
