Grayscale eyes approval for its spot ETH ETF

Like most other issuers, Grayscale submitted a revised 19b-4 filings for its spot Ether ETF. The platform joins BlackRock, Bitwise and other applicants in submitting the 19b-4s, with provisions for ETH staking removed.

The SEC is expected to approve the first spot Ethereum ETF for the US market, with an announcement highly anticipated on today.

Analysts forecast that an approval could catalyse an explosive run for ETH and other altcoins.

STX and NEAR tokens could surge amid this bull run, with the Bitcoin Layer 2 protocol Stacks also likely toget impetus from Bitcoin’s anticipated rally.

Stacks price was at $2.01 while Near Protocol traded at $7.64.
