The expectation surrounding the SEC’s decision highlights how important ETF approval is in terms of giving conventional investors more convenient access to Ethereum’s spot market. Presently,<a href="https://polymarket.com/event/ethereum-etf-approved-by-may-31?tid=1713769332297" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"> data</a> from Polymarket, the world’s largest prediction market, shows that ETH ETF approval odds have fallen to a mere 11%. 
<h2 id="pessimism-deepens-as-ethereum-etfs-remain-uncertain">Pessimism Deepens As Ethereum ETFs Remain Uncertain</h2> 
As the May deadline draws near, doubt and skepticism loom large on the horizon, casting a dark shadow for the products. One of the most recent figures to <a href="https://x.com/NateGeraci/status/1781868343713988721" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">voice</a> doubts about the SEC’s willingness to approve the exchange-traded products this May is Nate Geraci, the president of ETF Store. 
According to Geraci, the regulatory watchdog is eerily silent on <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/ethereum/ethereum-blockchains-q1-2024-success-unveiling-the-factors-behind-the-370m-profit-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">Ethereum</a> spot ETFs. He further suggested that the products might not be approved due to the SEC’s significantly lower level of engagement with ETF issuers than in previous interactions. 
“Logic says that is correct, but also wonder if SEC learned a lesson from clown show with spot Bitcoin ETFs,” he added. Thus, he has pointed out two possible options for the products, which are either an approval or lawsuit from the Commission. 
Commenting on the president’s insights, a pseudonymous X user questioned if there is a possibility that activities are taking place behind closed doors in order to avoid disrupting the pre-launch market. Geraci responded, saying he believes that could be possible, drawing attention to Van Eck CEO Jan Van Eck’s review, which might prove otherwise. 
It is worth noting that <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/ethereum/vaneck-ethereum-etf-price-staggers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">Van Eck</a> is one of the earliest firms to submit its application for an Ethereum exchange product. Even though the company was the first to file for an application, Jan Van Eck is pessimistic about the approval of the ETPs, saying they will probably be rejected in May. 
He stated: 
<blockquote>
 The way the legal process goes is the regulators will give you comments on your application, and that happened for weeks and weeks before the Bitcoin ETFs. And right now, pins are dropping as far as Ethereum is concerned.
</blockquote> 
In light of this, investors prepare for an unpredictable result while managing market swings and modifying their investment plans in the face of changing regulations.

While Ethereum ETFs might be experiencing negative sentiment, ETH, on the other hand, has witnessed a positive uptick lately. ETH has revisited the $3,000 level again after falling as low as $2,888 during the weekend. 
Today, ETH price rose by over 4%, reaching around $3,234, indicating potential for further price recovery. At the time of writing, Ethereum was trading at $3,215, demonstrating an increase of 1.40% in the past day. 
Also, the asset’s market cap and trading volume are up by 1.40% and 5.96% in the last 24 hours. Given the anticipated impact of the recently <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/bitcoin/fourth-bitcoin-halving-completed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">concluded Bitcoin Halving</a> on cryptocurrencies, ETH could be poised for noteworthy moves in the coming months.
