ETH June Insight

SEC Chairman: Speed of Spot Ethereum ETF Listing Depends on Issuer’s Response Time

On June 6, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler stated in a Wednesday announcement that the timeline for spot Ethereum ETFs to start trading largely depends on how quickly the ETF issuers respond to the SEC’s inquiries. He said, “These registrants proactively respond to the feedback they receive, but the degree of response is actually up to them.” Gensler declined to speculate whether this process would take weeks or months. He also noted that last year’s lawsuit by Grayscale forced the SEC to approve a spot Bitcoin ETF in January, which has influenced the SEC’s perspective on Ethereum.

Vitalik: Ethereum L1’s Development Direction is Clear, But Ecosystem Infrastructure Lacks Consensus

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, stated that the development direction of Ethereum Layer 1 (L1) is relatively clear, but there is a lack of consensus on the ecosystem’s infrastructure. He highlighted that many key technologies, such as “built-in bridging,” “Rollup decentralization technology,” and “multi-validator” setups, are not L1 features but rather challenges in higher-level ecosystem construction and standardization. He pointed out that having a roadmap is not enough; resources are also needed for execution. Despite good progress with projects like ERC-7683 and Waku, more similar initiatives with clear resources and motivation are required.

Vitalik: Spirit of Crypto Idealism Still Alive with Projects Like Farcaster, Lens, and Zupass

On June 19, Vitalik Buterin emphasized that the spirit of idealism in the crypto community is still alive, highlighting several projects driving these ideals forward. He mentioned decentralized social platforms like Farcaster and Lens, funding models using quadratic and retrospective funding, privacy-protecting ETH sending method Zupass, and ZK voting (zero-knowledge proof voting). These advancements show that the crypto community is actively exploring and promoting broad societal applications of technology beyond financial applications.
