BlackRock avança para lançar um ETF Ether

  • BlackRock is awaiting the SEC’s approval for a spot Bitcoin ETF.
  • O preço do Ether subiu mais de 7% na quinta-feira.
  • Ark Invest está planejando lançar um novo conjunto de ETFs de ativos digitais com 21Shares.

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, saw a huge rally on Thursday, caused by BlackRock’s first step towards an Ether ETF. BlackRock, an asset manager reportedly registered an iShares Ethereum Trust in the state of Delaware.

Delaware’s Division of Corporations website showed that an entity identified as BlackRock Advisors submitted the paperwork. Daniel Schwieger is listed in the file as the registered agent. Schweiger’s LinkedIn profile shows that he works as a managing director at BlackRock.

BlackRock’s iShares product is the leading exchange-traded fund with over $2.3 trillion in assets under management. BlackRock registered its Bitcoin trust in June and filed for a Bitcoin ETF with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The price of Ether reacted to BlackRock’s new move, surging by 7% and crossing $2,000 for the first time since April. Ether’s core rival, Bitcoin, saw a similar surge during the summer as asset managers launched bids for Bitcoin ETFs.

The crypto market remains optimistic about seeing a Bitcoin ETF this year. However, the SEC has yet to grant such an approval. The US watchdog has expressed concerns about a Bitcoin ETF and prevented Grayscale from turning its Bitcoin trust product into an ETF. A judge overturned the SEC’s decision in August.

o SEC chose not to appeal the ruling but could come up with other reasons to halt Grayscale’s conversion and any other bitcoin funds being considered. Many believe the SEC could approve ether funds after it allows bitcoin ETFs.

BlackRock’s proposto O ETF spot bitcoin supostamente tem forte apoio do mundo financeiro. Segundo relatos, grandes empresas comerciais como Jane Street, Virtu Financial e Jump Trading estão considerando fornecer liquidez para o novo produto, se aprovado pelos reguladores.

Em outras notícias, a especialista em investimentos em Bitcoin Cathie Wood da ARK Invest e o provedor de produtos negociados em bolsa (ETP) 21Shares formaram uma parceria para introduzir uma nova linha de ETFs de ativos digitais. A nova parceria supostamente proporcionará aos investidores que buscam incluir ativos digitais em sua carteira de negociação uma gama mais ampla de opções.

21Shares escreveu em um comunicado:

Aproveitando os sinais onchain e nossa experiência cripto-nativa, o pacote visa proporcionar valorização de capital de longo prazo por meio de investimentos estratégicos em contratos futuros de Bitcoin e Ethereum e da aplicação de tecnologias blockchain.

De acordo com o anúncio, a Chicago Board Options Exchange, ou Cboe, listará os ETFs. Além disso, cinco produtos começarão a ser negociados na próxima semana, de acordo com a 21Shares.

Ark, however, noted that the funds do not offer investors a chance to invest directly in digital assets. The investment company noted that “neither the funds nor the underlying ETF invest directly in bitcoin or other digital assets or maintain direct exposure to spot bitcoin… Investors seeking direct exposure to the price of bitcoin should consider an investment other than the funds.”
