Major Breakthrough: SEC Approves Long-Awaited Ethereum ETF

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has taken a step the crypto world has been eagerly anticipating. It has officially approved Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust ETF and Ethereum Mini Trust ETF.

New Framework Simplifies Listing and Trading According to a statement released on September 23, 2025 by the NYSE Arca exchange, both products will now be listed under rule 8.201-E (general). This represents a major simplification. Previously, these ETFs were categorized under the “non-general” listing rule, requiring a lengthy and complex approval process for each new product. The change opens the door for faster and more efficient listings of similar Ethereum-based products, eliminating the need for SEC approval every single time.

Greater Competition and Stronger Investor Protection The SEC stated that the new framework will deliver: 🔹 Increased competition in the market

🔹 Safer and more transparent products for investors

🔹 Strengthened free and open market mechanisms NYSE Arca added that the change will help safeguard investor interests and reinforce confidence in crypto ETF products.

Grayscale: From Pioneer to Market Leader Grayscale has long been a key player in digital asset investment products. Its Ethereum Trust ETF was first listed on May 23, 2024, followed by the Ethereum Mini Trust ETF on July 17, 2024. Today’s approval highlights that Ethereum is cementing its role as a core component of institutional investment portfolios. Investors can now access the asset in a far more flexible and regulated manner than before.
