Before it launches, that ETF must be approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is currently working through the latest version of the Trust’s S1 registration. According to the Trust’s lawyer, Evan Greebel, the prospects for approval look good. An SEC spokeswoman declined to comment on the process.”
