In a significant development for the cryptocurrency investment landscape, Invesco Galaxy has failed to meet the July 8 deadline to submit an amended S-1 form for its proposed Spot Ethereum ETF. This delay stands in contrast to the timely filings of other major players such as VanEck, Bitwise, and Grayscale, who successfully updated their registrations with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The SEC had requested these amendments after providing initial feedback on the S-1 filings for Spot Ethereum ETFs, prompting firms to address the comments and resubmit by the stipulated deadline. However, Invesco Galaxy’s failure to submit on time has sparked concerns about potential delays in the approval process for its ETF application.
Nate Geraci, President of ETF Store, highlighted the absence of Invesco Galaxy’s filing, noting on social media, “Only amendment I didn’t see today was Invesco Galaxy eth ETF… Perhaps will post to SEC site in morning. Otherwise, all other issuers are in & now we wait on SEC.” Despite this setback, Geraci remains optimistic about a potential ETF launch next week, citing Grayscale’s scheduled creation date for its Mini Ethereum Trust as a positive indicator.
The missed deadline by Invesco Galaxy raises questions about its competitive positioning in the race to launch a Spot Ethereum ETF. While other firms like VanEck move forward with their applications, Invesco Galaxy’s regulatory setback could impact its ability to capitalize on the growing investor interest in Ethereum ETFs.
VanEck, for instance, has already filed its amended S-1 and is nearing the final approval stage. The firm aims to trade under the ticker symbol “ETHV” and has announced a competitive fee structure to attract investors. Similarly, Bitwise has demonstrated proactive readiness with its recent S-1 amendment, including provisions for managing up to $500 million under a six-month waiver.
Looking ahead, the market eagerly anticipates updates from the SEC regarding the approval timeline for Ethereum ETFs. Invesco Galaxy’s next steps will be crucial in determining its trajectory within the competitive crypto investment landscape. Timely compliance with regulatory requirements remains paramount as firms navigate towards launching innovative investment products in a dynamic market environment.
