VanEck, 21Shares files S-1 amendments with SEC

Asset managers VanEck and 21Shares have filed their S-1 filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to list their Ether ETF shares.

According to filings filed July 8, VanEyck amended its registration statement as part of the asset manager's ongoing efforts to obtain approval from the SEC for the spot ether ETF. Meanwhile, 21Shares made a similar filing for the Core Ethereum ETF. Both did not specify a date for the submission to begin for their products.

The amendments are part of the final approval process required by the securities regulator before spot ETFs can be listed and traded. As Cointegraph reports, Bitwise filed its own updated registration last week.

Next month, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler said approval of the S-1 filings was expected “sometime this summer,” but he did not specify a date.
