Bitwise Discloses New Fee Details As Spot ETF Approval Draws Near
Recently, Bitwise, a contender in the race for an Ethereum Spot ETF, made a notable update by revising its S-1 form and setting a fee of 0.20%. This move came shortly after the United States Securities And Exchange Commission (SEC) approved Ethereum Spot ETF applications by ProShares and Grayscale.
 
No Green Light Yet
The aforementioned ETF applications marked a significant milestone as the overall tally of approved ETFs in this category reached 10. Despite these approvals, the ETFs still await the official green light by the SEC in order to commence trading activities.
Several Bloomberg ETF analysts reported receiving news of these approvals on July 23rd, indicating a big step forward in the ETF approval process. Meanwhile, some key players like BlackRock have not yet disclosed their fee structures. The SEC aims for uniformity in the approval process, suggesting that once all companies reveal their compensation policies, final approvals may be imminent.
 
High Fees
In addition to Bitwise, both Grayscale and BlackRock have updated their S-1 forms. BlackRock proposed a fee of 0.25%, whereas Grayscale set theirs notably higher at 2.5%. Experts have expressed reservations about fees put forth by Grayscale, noting similarities with the Bitcoin trust where high fees led to investor outflows. This could potentially impact the Grayscale Ethereum Spot ETF, should it be approved for trading.
In any case, ETF approval could be massive because it would provide institutional investors easier access to cryptocurrency markets, increasing liquidity, legitimizing the asset class, and potentially driving significant capital inflows into various cryptocurrencies.
