Grayscale Updates Filing for Ethereum Mini Trust

As an experienced analyst, I’ve seen my fair share of regulatory twists and turns in the cryptocurrency space. The SEC’s sudden about-face on Ethereum ETFs is undoubtedly a game-changer, but we must remain cautious before getting carried away by the excitement.


Grayscale has filed an amendment version of its 19b-4 form for its Ethereum Mini Trust application 

The leading cryptocurrency asset manager initially filed the form on Tuesday. 

As a researcher, I came across an announcement today where Nasdaq disclosed the submission of an amended 19b-4 form for the Ethereum Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) proposal spearheaded by BlackRock.

Rumors circulated this week that the SEC had requested exchanges to update their 19b-4 forms, which many believe is an indication of impending approvals.
