Today marks a major milestone in cryptocurrency investing as VanEck officially filed its S-1 ETF application for Ethereum.
Although VanEck had already outlined its fee structure in previous discussions, this official filing is a procedural step that shifts responsibility back to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which must review the documents and potentially approve them.
