Ether ETFs Should Be Fully Approved by September, Says SEC Chair Gensler

The final approvals for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) trading Ethereum's ether (ETH) should be finished this summer, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler told senators in a budget hearing on Thursday.

Gensler told a subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee in a hearing justifying the market regulator's budget that the process is "working smoothly" after the initial approval of a group of ETFs. The agency had previously granted the initial round of applications, but he said the final registration requirements – filings known as S-1s – are now being handled at the "staff level."

Once those filings are approved, the new ETFs can be listed, opening the wider markets to easy-to-trade funds that hold actual ether, much like the earlier establishment of bitcoin spot ETFs that hold (BTC). The SEC had initially blocked the effort for bitcoin ETFs until a federal court ruled the agency was mishandling the matter, and Gensler has said the SEC has since been following that decision and allowing them.

When asked directly whether ETH is a commodity, Gensler didn't respond with a yes or no, maintaining the uncertain position his agency has held on that asset. At the same hearing, when asked whether it's a commodity, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) chief Rostin Behnam responded, "Yes."

This week, U.S. stock market investors will focus on the trajectory of interest rates, tensions in the Middle East, the U.S.-China summit and technology-related topics, as well as calls to slow down the development of artificial intelligence (AI), while weighing whether major stock indexes can reach new historical highs.

Korean media reports that "Besant Mentor" Druckenmiller will visit Korea for the first time and will discuss investment with SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, and Doosan.

This is Druckenmiller's first public visit to South Korea, focusing on the two main themes of AI and energy. He will be inspecting Samsung and SK Hynix, which hold key positions in AI supply chain bottlenecks such as HBM and semiconductor materials, as well as Doosan Enerbility, which is involved in nuclear power and gas turbines. It is worth noting that he has reduced his AI holdings to 20% of what they were six months ago; this visit is interpreted as a strategic shift from broad investments to the precise selection of core targets.
