Ether ETFs: A New Dawn for Ethereum Investors in 2024? 🚀🌐 2024 stands on the cusp of potentially groundbreaking developments for Ethereum and its investors, with the spotlight firmly on the anticipated approval of Ether (ETH) Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). The narrative around Ethereum remains robust, bolstered by its pivotal role in the DeFi and NFT arenas, suggesting a strong case for Ether's inclusion in diversified crypto portfolios despite its previous underperformance compared to Bitcoin. The pathway for spot Ether ETFs appears increasingly promising following the approval of multiple spot Bitcoin ETFs. Analysts posit a 70% likelihood of Ether ETF approvals by May 2024, buoyed by the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) prior nod to Ethereum futures ETFs, indirectly endorsing Ether as a commodity. This tacit acknowledgment aligns with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) stance and lays a favorable groundwork for Ether's ETF candidacy. However, the journey to approval is marked by regulatory prudence, with the SEC extending its decision timeline for several Ether ETF proposals to May 2024. These delays are interpreted as routine procedural steps rather than indicative of underlying concerns, providing an extended period for public commentary and ensuring that any forthcoming Ether ETFs meet comprehensive regulatory criteria. The eventual approval of Ether ETFs would signify a monumental stride towards the integration of cryptocurrencies within conventional financial frameworks. It promises to elevate Ethereum's status within the financial domain, further cementing cryptocurrencies' legitimacy and value in the global economic landscape. As decision deadlines approach for applications from leading firms, the crypto community watches with bated breath. The potential green light for Ether ETFs by the SEC would not only herald a significant victory for Ethereum but also underscore the maturing relationship between digital assets and traditional financial systems. #Ethereum #EtherETF #CryptoInvesting #SEC #BlockchainTechnology #DigitalFinance

Coinbase's David Duong, CFA and David H. highlight the success of the spot Bitcoin ETFs which received net inflows of $3.3B in one month, noting according to Bloomberg, BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC are “among the top 0.1% when it comes to new ETF launches out of the about 5,500 that took place over the past 30 years.” Michael Saylor, on CNBC recently said “There’s ten times as much demand for bitcoin coming into these ETFs as there is supply coming from the natural sellers who are the miners”. This is alongside the anticipation of an #Ether spot ETF as Franklin Templeton became the eight applicant for such a product, joining the likes of BlackRock, Fidelity and VanEck. The digital asset market seems poised to have an impressive 2024! #digitalassets #btc #bitcoin #etf #ethereum #eth

“Starting with BTC ETF, we are seeing a 'buy the rumour, ignore the news, buy the next rumour' set up,” said Joe C., Head of Institutional Marketing at BIT crypto exchange. “BlackRock filed its #ETH #ETF application in Nov 2023, and while that is a lot less certain than the numerous #BTCETF applications that were just approved, the potential is huge, as it would mark the first such product for ETH, which already has a large appeal with institutional investors.” An Ethereum ETF launch might bring more financial vehicles, giving access to a wider variety of crypto assets. “We might be looking at a whole range of ETFs that provide access to top market cap tokens and projects, although it may make more sense for a top 50 ETF rather than 50 individual ETFs — not unlike an S&P 500 ETF for large-cap or 'blue-chip' tokens.” https://lnkd.in/gDpt5Ygw

Ethereum ETFs are out. So what's next? Eric Johansson checked in with five market watchers to answer that burning question. Nine spot Ethereum ETFs launched on Tuesday to industry-wide celebration. Before their launch, pundits, degens and analysts rolled out the red carpet for the funds, predicting that they’d replicate the success of the 10 spot Bitcoin ETFs that launched in January. If Bitcoin funds could pump the underlying asset to new heights, why wouldn’t the same be true with Ether? Four days later, it seems the first week of spot Ethereum ETF trading has been a mixed bag. While Ethereum ETFs bagged $107 million in total inflows on the first day of trading, Wednesday and Thursday respectively saw $133 million and $153 million in outflows, according to data from SosoValue. And Ether is down 4.6% on the week, according to CoinGecko data. However, things may be about to change. https://lnkd.in/euHXajpQ

The ETH ETF has been approved in the U.S. and Swarm co-founder Philipp Pieper spoke to Samuel Haig at The Defiant about what this means for capital inflows into the asset. Pieper expects an underwhelming initial market response to the funds launching. “For an indication of what this will do in the short term, we can look to the experience of the #bitcoin ETF earlier in the year,” Pieper said. “On this basis, we’d imagine the reaction to the market will be muted initially, even with some selling pressure.” However, Pieper anticipates a “major capital reallocation” into #ETH over the medium term, likely driving upward price pressure for #Ethereum. 👉 Read more here https://lnkd.in/emhFu32G
