Justin Sun Doubts May Approval for Ethereum ETF

The approval of an Ethereum spot ETF in May is uncertain as regulators and the crypto industry continue their discussions. Justin Sun, CEO of TRON Foundation, voiced concerns over the pending decision, emphasizing the need for regulators to better understand cryptocurrencies.


It’s uncertain if an Ethereum spot ETF will be given the green light by regulators in May, as discussions between the crypto industry and regulatory bodies are still ongoing.

The CEO of TRON Foundation, Justin Sun, voiced his worries about an upcoming regulatory decision. He emphasized the importance of ongoing education for regulators to grasp the fundamental concepts of the cryptocurrency sector.

I believe it’s unlikely that an Ethereum ETF will receive approval in May. The crypto sector must continue its efforts to educate regulators about digital currencies and their potential benefits. This is a long-term process, but isn’t that what we’ve been doing all along?

The SEC in the United States is expected to deny several forthcoming Ethereum ETF proposals. This perspective aligns with Sun’s cautious stance on the matter, given his ongoing legal disputes with the SEC over allegations of fraud and market manipulation.

As an industry analyst, I acknowledge the prevailing sense of ambiguity. However, there are still some optimistic voices within the community. Notably, BlackRock’s entrance into the scene is a promising sign. With a strong history of ETF approvals under their belt, their involvement increases the likelihood of favorable results.

Furthermore, Grayscale’s top legal representative, Craig Salm, hinted that the SEC’s past communications with applicants seeking approval for a spot Bitcoin ETF may shape the outcome of Ethereum ETF deliberations.

As the deadline draws near, the crypto industry keeps a keen eye on the SEC, eagerly waiting for their decision which may bring about substantial changes in the investment sphere for digital currencies.
