The hesitation of the dry says a lot. While ETF ETFThereums compatible with the bit, regulators deepen if passive cryptography investors should earn a return or if it is a risk too far.
On June 30, the US Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it would extend its examination of Bitwise’s proposal to allow the establishment of Son ETF ETF (ETH) (ETH), delaying what could have been a historic change in cryptographic investment products.
The securities regulator now requests public comments, specifically approaching if the rewards of staking introduce hidden risks that traditional ETF structures were not designed to manage. Bitwise, on the other hand, argues that the strocket can operate in the existing framework, offering investors an additional return without modifying the main mechanics of the fund.
A prudent commission in a rapidly evolving market
The DSA decision to delay the Bitwise FNB ETHEREUM FNB ETFEUM proposal reflects broader concerns about the way in which the indigenous crypto yield mechanisms are part of traditional financial structures.
Although the markup is at the heart of the proof of proof of Ethereum, regulators wonder if ETF packaging, built for passive exposure, may include active participation in the blockchain consensus.
Unlike traditional ETFs, the stripe introduces the risk of penalties, called “pump”, if the validators behave badly. The agency is trying to find out if such losses would be absorbed by fund managers or investors, and how they would be attenuated.
Liquidity is another concern. ETH milestone can be locked for days or weeks during withdrawals, which increases the possibility of liquidity offsets between ETF shares and underlying assets during market volatility.
The centralization of the validator is also under control. If several ETH ETF move in the same small group of institutional validators, such as Coinbase or Kraken, this could create risks of concentration that run against the decentralized ethics of crypto.
Bitwise replied that these risks are manageable and compare rewards of stalking to dividends in the ETF in shares. However, the DSA’s decision to request public comments points out persistent skepticism, in particular after previous actions of application against implementation programs such as Kraken’s yield supply.
