VanEck has filed Form 8-A for a spot Ethereum ETF, a significant step in the regulatory process. The filing, which was made on June 25, 2024, mirrors the company's previous filing for a spot Bitcoin ETF, which occurred exactly seven days before its launch. This has led to speculation that the Ethereum spot ETF could launch as soon as July 2, 2024. Eric Balchunas, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg, highlighted the timing similarity and suggested that the launch date could be imminent. The filing was for the VanEck Ethereum Trust under Section 12(b) and was categorized as an 8-A12B filing.
