The US Securities and Exchange Commission has given indications to at least four issuers of spot-Ether exchange-traded funds to file paperwork for potential approval, according to people familiar with the matter. Three of the issuers said the agency signaled trading may begin on July 23.

The greenlight could follow their submissions of what are known as S-1 registration statements, which the issuers could start to file this week, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing the private matter.
