美国证券交易委员会批准以太坊 ETF，加密货币实现里程碑式突破，以太坊价格接近 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.

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 批准了现货以太坊 ETF（交易所交易基金），这是加密货币监管的又一里程碑式突破，导致以太坊价格飙升近 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.

这一决定是在多个比特币现货 ETF 获得里程碑式批准近五个月后作出的，尽管直到本周初大多数分析师还认为这样的决定极不可能发生。

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.”

就在这一消息发布的几个小时前，SEC 开始与以太坊 ETF 发行人就其 S-1 表格进行最终调整进行谈判，导致市场猜测批准已成定局。在宣布这一消息之前，美国证券交易委员会主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 告诉投资者“敬请关注”。
