Cathie Wood's Ark fund and 21Shares are planning America's first spot ether ETF.
They filed an SEC application Wednesday as a race to create spot bitcoin ETFs gets underway.
The ARK 21Shares ethereum ETF promises a safer way to trade the second-largest cryptocurrency.
Many regard that decision as helping pave the way for spot bitcoin ETFs.
ARK and 21Shares have also submitted an SEC application for a bitcoin spot ETF.
