In an unexpected fast decision, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved applications from major exchanges, including Nasdaq, CBOE, and NYSE, to list exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to the price of ether.

Well, buckle up (or so) because it looks like the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has finally decided to join the crypto party – albeit fashionably late and with a bit of a grumble. In what can only be described as a long-overdue nod to the future (or an admission of the inevitable), the SEC has given the green light to the first U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to track bitcoin. It's a "watershed moment," they say, for the beloved cryptocurrency and the crypto industry at large.
