Mark Yusko: The probability of the US SEC approving an Ethereum spot ETF this year is less than 50%
Mark Yusko, founder and CEO of Morgan Creek Capital Management, said that the probability of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approving an Ethereum spot ETF in the United States this year is less than 50%. Considering SEC Chairman Gary Gensler's remarks, it seems that US financial authorities are still keeping a distance from virtual assets. Yusco stated that one reason why it is difficult for an Ethereum spot ETF to be approved is because the SEC classifies BTC as a commodity but considers Ethereum as a security.

In the third quarter, Korean retail investors made net purchases of US stocks worth approximately 10.15 trillion won, marking a complete reversal from the previous pattern in the first half of the year, when they made net purchases of nearly 100 trillion won in KOSPI stocks. In September alone, the sell-off amount reached as high as 14.2 trillion won. Analysts attribute this shift to a combination of factors: a sharp decline in KOSPI at high levels, the continued strength of the US stock market driven by AI themes, and the appreciation of the Korean won reducing currency exchange costs.
