All Eyes on Ether Spot ETF

The U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) authorized the submissions of applicants last month, bringing the availability of Ether ETFs for trading in the US closer. Their S-1 forms also need regulator approval before the ETFs can be permitted to trade.

Bitwise predicts $15 billion in the first 18 months for ether ETFs. While firms like Galaxy predict $5 billion in the first five months. It is anticipated that broker-dealer platforms and independent financial advisors will drive demand for the planned products.

Coinshares previously said that $584 million was pulled out of digital asset investment products in the week beginning June 24. Withdrawals of $600 million were recorded for these products during the week of June 17, which is the highest amount since March 22.

Digital asset investment products, on the other hand, received $2 billion in the week beginning June 10, increasing the five-week total to $4.3 billion. The crypto market has been struggling for quite some time now, with Bitcoin facing bearish pressure.
