Valkyrie Bitcoin and Ether ETF Launch
Earlier, Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart reported that the Ethereum Futures ETFs have a 90% chance of launching in October 2023. They also predicted that Valkyrie Bitcoin futures ETF ($BTF) is set to become the first to hold Ethereum exposure on October 3, 2023. Earlier, CoinGape reported that Valkyrie submitted a Form 497 with a plan to convert BTF into a dual Bitcoin and Ether Exchange-Traded Fund.
In a latest, analyst Balchunas stated that in the context of the potential US government shutdown, the US SEC wants to accelerate the launch of the Ethereum futures ETFs. This could be a move targeted at finishing the job before a vast majority of the SEC staff become unavailable if the shutdown kicks in.
