Popular Chinese crypto journalist and blogger Colin Wu has reported that senior ETF analyst of Bloomberg Eric Balchunas revealed documents showing that the spot Ethereum ETF applicants have updated their S-1 filings.
Those applicants include BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale and VanEck giants.
Ethereum ETF filings updated
According to the aforementioned documentation submitted by the companies, Franklin has set its Ethereum ETF fees at 0.19%, and as for VanEck, this figure is set at 0.2%, as was announced on Friday.
Besides, BlackRock, the world’s largest money manager, made a disclosure of a $10 million seed investment as a major undisclosed investor acquired $10 million worth of its future ETF (ETHA) shares.
Eric Balchunas believes that the likely date of the spot Ethereum ETF approval is July 2.
Earlier this year, in January, the same companies had their spot Bitcoin ETF filings finally approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Once trading started, the ETFs began accumulating large amounts of BTC on a daily basis.

Ethereum scores victory against SEC
As reported by U.Today, earlier this week, Consensys reported that the SEC had finally ended its investigation into Ethereum 2.0. This was a major victory for the Ethereum team and ETH holders since the regulatory agency announced that it did not find any grounds to label ETH as a security.
This propelled the ETH price up by approximately 5%, as the coin’s price soared above $3,500.
On Thursday, the second largest cryptocurrency surpassed the $3,600 level. However, since then, ETH has seen a plunge, going down to $3,486 by now.
