Steve Kurz, head of Galaxy Digital Asset Management, said the U.S. SEC could approve a spot Ethereum ETF by the end of July.
Kurz said he expects the Ethereum spot ETF could be approved "in weeks, not days," but within a month. Galaxy has been working with the U.S. SEC on the application for months, noting that the company's upcoming spot Ethereum ETF is similar to the existing spot Bitcoin ETF (BTCO). Galaxy partnered with investment management firm Invesco to create both funds.
Kurz also expressed optimism that other spot crypto ETFs besides Ethereum will be approved, saying legislation (including laws defining securities) is necessary and that this process will take place even if Biden remains president.
Paradigm announced the release of Reth 1.0, the first production-ready version of the Ethereum execution client written in Rust.

Paradigm said Reth is able to efficiently utilize resources in a variety of operational settings. Its implementation was inspired by clients such as Geth, Erigon, and Akula. The upcoming Reth 1.1 release will include support for OP Stack. Paradigm is also working on support for the Pectra hard fork.

According to Cointelegraph, Kunal Bhasin, co-head of digital assets at KPMG Canada, said that institutional investors will buy high-value commercial real estate stocks tokenized on blockchains when more opportunities arise.
Bhasin said that tokenization could change the owners of large commercial buildings, which have historically been limited to real estate and pension fund managers with strong financial resources. The technology could allow institutional investors, such as family offices, to own part of Toronto's large shopping malls, Eaton Center and other large buildings. Commercial real estate tokenization can actually make this possible. Bhasin predicts that this will become one of the largest institutional use cases in the cryptocurrency industry.
