美國證券交易委員會批准以太坊 ETF，加密貨幣實現里程碑式突破，以太坊價格接近 4,000 美元

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved spot Ethereum ETFs (exchange-traded funds) in another landmark regulatory breakthrough for crypto, sending the Ethereum price soaring nearly 2% to $3,792.

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 批准了現貨以太坊 ETF（交易所交易基金），這是加密貨幣監管的另一個里程碑式突破，導致以太坊價格飆升近 2% 至 3,792 美元。

The decision comes nearly five months after the landmark approval of multiple Bitcoin spot ETFs, and despite the fact that until early this week most analysts had believed such a decision was highly unlikely.

這項決定是在多個比特幣現貨 ETF 獲得里程碑式批准近五個月後作出的，儘管直到本周初大多數分析師還認為這樣的決定極不可能發生。

The announcement came only hours after the SEC initiated talks with Ethereum ETF issuers for final adjustments to their S-1 forms, causing markets to speculate that approval was a done deal. Ahead of the announcement, SEC chair Gary Gensler had told investors to “stay tuned.”

就在這一消息發布的幾個小時前，SEC 開始與以太坊 ETF 發行人就其 S-1 表格進行最終調整進行談判，導致市場猜測批准已成定局。在宣布這一消息之前，美國證券交易委員會主席加里詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 告訴投資者「敬請關注」。

The securities watchdog began fast-tracking the approvals process early this week, when it asked applicants to update their filings. That prompted analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart at Bloomberg Intelligence to up the odds of approval to 75%, from ”slim to none” previously.

證券監管機構於本周初開始加快審批流程，要求申請人更新其文件。這促使彭博資訊 (Bloomberg Intelligence) 的分析師 Eric Balchunas 和 James Seyffart 將批准的可能性從之前的「微乎其微」提高到了 75%。

In anticipation of an imminent approval, investors purchased more than 100,000 ETH in spot markets on May 22, the highest for a day since last September, according to on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant

A bipartisan group of House lawmakers, including Majority Whip Tom Emmer and NJ Democrat Josh Gottheimer, had sent a letter to the SEC chair yesterday, May 22, urging the SEC “to approve spot Ether ETFs and ‘`other’ digital assets.” The letter said that the investment products would offer investors access to crypto in a regulated, transparent, and safe format.
