Grayscale’s application to convert its trust into a spot Ethereum ETF has been delayed by the U.S. SEC.&nbsp; 
The SEC deferred its decision on a proposed rule change to allow U.S. national exchanges to list and trade spot Ethereum (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/" rel="">ETH</a>) ETFs pitched by Grayscale until June 23.&nbsp; 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 “The Commission finds that it is appropriate to designate a longer period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, and the issues raised therein.” <cite>U.S. SEC <a href="https://www.sec.gov/files/rules/sro/nysearca/2024/34-100014.pdf" target="_blank" rel="">website</a></cite>
</blockquote> 
In October, Grayscale submitted a Form 19b-4 with the NYSE Arca, asking the SEC for permission to transition its existing Ethereum Trust (ETHE) into a spot ETH ETF. The firm filed the same process for its GBTC product, which it successfully converted into a spot Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="">BTC</a>) ETF in January.&nbsp; 
Following the SEC’s latest move, Grayscale <a href="https://x.com/Grayscale/status/1782865362830475606" target="_blank" rel="">filed</a> Form S-3 to register under America’s Securities Act to amp efforts for its ETHE offering.

 Today, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register shares of Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24ETHE&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="">$ETHE</a>) under the Securities Act of 1933. This is another important step toward uplisting ETHE as an ETF*.

Documents on the Wall Street regulator’s website also showed that a similar application filed by asset manager Franklin Templeton was delayed until June 11, crypto.news <a href="https://crypto.news/sec-delays-franklin-templeton-spot-ethereum-etf/" rel="">reported</a> earlier on April 23.&nbsp; 
Other filings from issuers <a href="https://crypto.news/sec-postpones-decision-on-blackrock-and-fidelitys-ethereum-spot-etf/" rel="">BlackRock</a>, Fidelity, and VanEck seeking spot Ethereum ETFs were also delayed as the SEC buys time to decide whether to accept or reject these bids.&nbsp;Analysts have surmised that a staking feature added to some applications may concern the SEC’s Chairman, Gary Gensler, who has repeatedly insisted that most crypto assets are securities. 
Since then, spot BTC ETFs have amassed over $12 billion in cumulative net inflow despite massive exits from Grayscale’s fund. GBTC outflows <a href="https://crypto.news/grayscales-bitcoin-etf-hits-1-6b-outflows-hours-before-halving/" rel="">reached</a> $1.6 billion earlier this week, <a href="https://crypto.news/grayscales-bitcoin-etf-fund-has-lost-half-of-assets-since-launch/" rel="">losing</a> 50% of previously managed volume.
