KEY POINTS

  • The bank's analyst Kendrick said his earlier optimism was based on the SEC's attitude toward spot BTC ETFs
  • Kendrick noted that unlike with Bitcoin ETFs, the regulator has not had publicized dialogue with spot ETH ETF applicants
  • Standard Chartered was among many financial experts who predicted a May approval earlier this year

Cross-border banking giant Standard Chartered now doubts that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will approve spot Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by next month after it previously predicted the regulator will approve the much-anticipated ETFs in May.
