The Ether investment case, and what ETF approval says about regulatory changes, with Sui Chung

Spot Ether ETFs are finally here!Just like for Bitcoin ETFs though, the path to approval has been full of suspense and drama.Whether it was SEC chair Gary Gensler’s previous view that Ether was a security; the controversy over staking (note: no spot Ether ETFs include staking) or regulatory actions against non-ETF platforms ... the process often felt like it was one plot twist away from complete shut down.With four CF Benchmarks clients among the major investment firms whose filings were approved - supported by our regulated ETHUSD_NY index - once again, we had a ringside seat.To hear what we learned, join CF Benchmarks CEO Sui Chung, Head of Content Ken Odeluga, and Head of Research Gabe Selby, CFA, for an extra special episode of the CFB Talks Digital Assets podcast.* Hear how ETH ETF filings subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) changed to meet SEC expectations; offering more clues on the regulator’s still opaque approval criteria* Also, how the Commission abruptly dropped opposition to ETH ETFs - weeks after receiving our analyses, data and commentary - then cited our thinking in its approval order!* But did we really change the regulator’s mind?* Get Gabe’s data-driven analysis of why modest expectations on ETH ETF inflows might be undercooked* Why, despite talk of a changing US regulatory landscape, the wait for a Solana ETF could be a protracted one - even if Gary Gensler steps down from SEC!For our take on all those points, and honestly, way more than we can list here, listen to this episode now...
