2. The ETFs track FTSE Russell indexes, which adds credibility and standardization, making them more appealing to traditional investors.

3. These ETFs could simplify cryptocurrency investment by offering diversification, regulatory oversight, and liquidity through an ETF structure.

4. The SEC's cautious stance on spot crypto ETFs and concerns about market manipulation and custody remain key challenges for approval.

5. The timeline for SEC approval is uncertain, as it depends on how well the proposed ETFs address regulatory concerns.
