Is Ethereum’s Latest US Spot ETF Approval Priced In? Experts Weigh In

by

As an experienced analyst, I believe the recent approval of Ethereum ETFs has not fully been priced in by the market yet. The modest price increase we’ve seen so far does not accurately reflect the potential long-term implications of this significant shift in market dynamics.

The cryptocurrency world is abuzz with excitement following recent approvals of Ethereum-based Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). This news has sparked lively debates and anticipation among investors and market analysts.

As an analyst, I’ve observed that Ethereum experienced a significant rise in value following the recent approval of its spot ETF, reaching a peak of $3,959. However, since then, it has retraced and is currently trading at $3,757.

Despite hitting $3,900 being a notable rise, it doesn’t meet the considerable upward trend predicted by some after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gave its green light to spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Is Spot Ethereum ETF Approval Priced In?

As an analyst, I’ve come across a recent report indicating that there’s ongoing debate among experts regarding the full market reflection of the implications of these approvals.

As a researcher studying the cryptocurrency market, I’ve come across Arthur Cheong’s perspective from DeFiance Capital. He emphasized that the market has yet to fully absorb the implications of this significant shift, and the new market dynamics may not be immediately reflected in prices.

According to Brian Rudick from GSR, the price behavior of Bitcoin in relation to spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) could potentially be mirrored by Ethereum. He believes that notable price shifts may occur prior to and post the announcement and launch of an Ethereum spot ETF.

Based on the current surge in Ethereum’s value, most market analysts believe that the potential effects of upcoming ETF approvals may still be underestimated by the market.

As a crypto investor, I believe Ethereum’s future price will heavily depend on the amount of investment flowing into recently launched spot Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). Observing the trends with Bitcoin, we can expect a potential “50-100% increase” in Ethereum’s value compared to earlier this month. This surge is likely due to robust inflows into these ETFs.

According to Danny Chong of Tranchess, the market has not fully factored in the recent approval. He anticipates significant price swings and possible stagnation in the near future as the market adapts to the changing supply and demand conditions.

Chong highlights that the introduction of ETH ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) could lead to greater institutional investment in Ethereum, potentially contributing to more stable long-term pricing for the cryptocurrency.

Expert Forecasts $1.8 Trillion Market Cap Post-ETF Approval

Currently, Michael Nadeau, the creator of The DeFi Report, has examined the possible implications of Ethereum securing a spot ETF approval on its future trend.

Nadeau proposes a valuation method implying the overall crypto market might reach a $10 trillion market capitalization. He’s confident that Ethereum will surpass Bloomberg’s projected 10-20% share of Bitcoin’s incoming investments.

As a crypto investor, I believe Ethereum (ETH) could reach an astounding market capitalization of $1.8 trillion during this bull run, given current projections. With the supply remaining unchanged, this market cap would translate to an impressive price point for ETH – around $14,984 per token.

As an analyst, I would point out that should Bitcoin reach a market capitalization of $4 trillion, its price could potentially surge up to around $202,000 for each unit.
