Last week, three issuers obtained approval to launch spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs by Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). These new funds will start trading on April 30, according to various sources, including 10x Research.
The approval of the first spot ETH ETFs in the US next month does, however, seem unlikely.
“Eerily quiet on spot eth ETFs… Consensus is SEC will disapprove in May. Reason = lack of engagement w/ issuers. Logic says that’s correct, but also wonder if SEC learned lesson from clown show w/ spot btc ETFs. Either way, options are either A) approve or B) face lawsuit IMO,” said Nate Geraci, the co-founder of the ETF Institute.
The price of Ether fell 1.1 percent to $3,187 over the past 24 hours.
A bullish sun shines over most of the global crypto market in the next 24 hours. Mostly sunny trading conditions prevail over Ethereum, which translates into a slight upside potential. Ripple’s XRP, Avalanche and Chainlink face bearish clouds, signaling downside risks.
Over a one-week horizon, the bullish sun should continue to shine over the cryptoverse, with the exception of Binance Coin and Uniswap, which all face bearish clouds.
