US Senators Urge Caution in Approval of Crypto ETFs, Casting Doubt on Ethereum ETF Applications

Senators Reed and Butler have sent a letter to SEC Chair Gensler, urging caution and scrutiny in the approval process for crypto ETFs. They argue against blanket approval of cryptocurrency ETPs, citing concerns over market integrity and investor protection. The senators also express skepticism regarding thinly traded cryptocurrencies' suitability for ETPs, citing potential risks to retail investors. This has led to uncertainty over the approval of Spot Ethereum ETF applications by Grayscale, BlackRock, VanEck, and Franklin Templeton. Additionally, Bitcoin ETFs' inflow of funds has decreased by 80% to $133 million as BTC's price falls.
