Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, reposted a video of an interview with Securities Exchange Commission commissioner Hester Peirce on the X platform, in which Hester Peirce said: "In the past most Securities Exchange Commission commissioners didn't want things to go smoothly, but now it has shifted to wanting things to go smoothly, which makes things much easier." Eric Balchunas said Hester Peirce looked happy and smiled, suggesting that Ethereum ETF pledges could be approved because she said the products were "more useful" to investors.
