The excitement surrounding the impending debut of spot ether ETFs in the U.S. has investors anticipating higher ether price swings relative to bitcoin.
Spot bitcoin ETFs are expected to be approved by major wirehouses and large private bank platforms in the third and fourth quarters, the report said.
Prospective providers of spot ether ETFs in the U.S. removed provision for staking from their applications to avoid potential regulatory roadblocks.
The lack of immediate catalysts to prop up markets in the near-term are likely weighing down token prices, one trader said.
The eleven ETFs recorded $200 million in net outflows on Tuesday, the highest since May 1 figures of $580 million.
Grayscale’s GBTC saw $40 million in outflows, the most among its counterparts, while Bitwise’s BITB led inflows at $7.6 million.
Most ETF inflows are likely part of a non-directional strategy, not outright bullish bets.
One trader expects ETH prices to hit $10,000 in 2024, a nearly 200% increase from current levels of $3,600.
Evvel waging a meşru battle against crypto ETFs, SEC Chair Gensler now talks about the pending ETH ETF as if it’s a casual process and is jumping through the standard hoops.
