Source: 消息人士：SEC可能会在周五开始通知发行方获得批准，交易最早可能在下周开始。 Translation: Insider: SEC may notify issuers of approval starting on Friday, with trading potentially starting as early as next week.

According to BlockBeats news on January 4th, citing sources from FOX Business, SEC lawyers from the trading and markets division will meet with officials from major exchanges, including the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, and the Chicago Options Exchange, on Wednesday. These exchanges will be the venues for ETF trading. The meeting is seen as a positive signal that SEC is approaching approval of some or all of the dozen or so product applications submitted by major fund managers and cryptocurrency companies, according to anonymous company sources. Specifically, the SEC is requesting that exchanges modify and ultimately finalize the so-called 19b-4 documents, which are submitted by exchange representatives on behalf of issuers and must be approved by the SEC before ETFs can be sold to the public. While the final decision has not yet been made, sources say that the SEC may begin notifying issuers of approval as early as Friday, with trading potentially starting as soon as next week. ETF analysts and issuers agree that the SEC is likely to make a favorable decision by January 10th or earlier, as the SEC continues to meet with key participants on the matter.
