Michael Sonnenshein, CEO of Grayscale Investments, remains optimistic that the SEC will approve spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds.
Grayscale filed for to convert its Grayscale Ethereum Trust, which is already an SEC reporting company into a spot ETF.
Last year the asset manager won a lawsuit against the SEC in its challenge to deny approval of the conversion of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust into an ETF.
In a similar fashion, the SEC has approved Ethereum futures ETFs.
Grayscale decided to focus on its spot product which is core to their pioneering access to spot exposure for investors.
In January this year the SEC approved the listing and trading of 10 spot bitcoin ETFs and also approved the conversion of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust into an ETF.
Grayscale's spot bitcoin ETF had $28bn of assets when it came to market after converting from the trust.
Outflows may be related to Grayscale maintaining a 1.5% fee for its spot bitcoin ETF, while competitors have much lower fees of around 0.3%.
Grayscale filed with the SEC for a new spot bitcoin ETF, the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust, which Sonnenshein said would come to market with an “industry-leading low cost” fee.
In October last year the asset manager launched GrayscaleCrypto Sectors, a framework designed to organize the crypto asset class.
