After enduring a significant downturn at the beginning of the past week, Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency, has staged a modest recovery, reclaiming the crucial $2,600 level and setting its sights on the $3,000 milestone once again. The August 5 crash, which saw Ethereum’s price plummet to $2,112, marked the year’s largest market slump. However, the digital asset has since bounced back, 8% in the last seven days, hinting at the possibility of a more sustained bullish trend. Massive Ethereum Liquidations Trigger Bullish Signals According to a recent report by market analytics firm CryptoQuant on the ETH’s price action, the chart below highlights a substantial liquidation of long perpetual positions on the futures market experienced during last week’s crash. The firm notes that in sustained bull markets, such a significant liquidation event is often followed by a major price rally as the futures market stabilizes and spot buying pressure takes over. Related Reading: Legendary Fibonacci Extension Reveals When Bitcoin Will Reach $109,000 “The recent cascade has triggered massive long liquidations, reaching levels not seen since November 2022,” the firm noted. “This substantial liquidation likely indicates a cooling of the futures market, where many leveraged positions have been flushed out. Such a development can set the stage for renewed interest in the futures market.” With the futures market potentially resetting, CryptoQuant believes that if demand returns, Ethereum could be poised for another impulsive bullish surge in the longer term that could send prices above previous all-time high levels. ETH’s Price Path To $3,000 Crypto analyst Caleb Franzen echoed a similar prediction for ETH’s price in a social media post on the X platform (formerly Twitter), suggesting that if Ethereum can take out the $2,725 level, it could signal a strong move higher. Franzen’s analysis of the 4-hour candles and market structure indicates a series of higher lows and a bullish reading on the supertrend indicators, further fueling the optimism surrounding Ethereum’s future performance. Related Reading: Bitcoin Investors Again Show Extreme Fear As BTC Slips To $59,000 However, with ETH currently trading at $2,645, the first resistance on the ETH/USDT weekly chart, located at the $2,700 level, has proven to be the first hurdle for the second-largest cryptocurrency to overcome in recent days. In a scenario where the current rally extends into the coming weeks and the ETH price tackles the level highlighted by Franzen, the $2,900 and $2,990 resistance walls would be the last obstacles to reclaim the $3,000 level. Conversely, the token will need to secure and consolidate above the $2,550 level to prevent further declines toward the next support on the daily chart, currently located at the $2,345 level following its 25% correction.

Ethereum is pushing higher, as shown in the daily chart. After last week’s dip and recovery, the second most valuable coin is up nearly 25% from August lows. If buyers take charge today, clearing and closing above $2,600, as is currently the case, it could anchor the base of another uptick toward $3,300 in a […]
Ethereum has struggled greatly underneath the bearish pressure that has been mounted on the crypto market over the last few weeks. The ETH price suffered multiple crashes that sent it toward $2,000 once more, shattering the expectations for a new all-time high in the third quarter. However, this decline may only be short-lived as one crypto analyst has suggested that the Ethereum price could be getting ready for another rally that could push it toward its previous highs. Ethereum Looking Promising On 1-Week Chart Crypto analyst RLinda has posted a promising analysis on the Ethereum price on the TradingView website. This analysis focuses on the ETH price on the one-week chart, which has maintained bullishness despite the crash. This follows the continuous accumulation from the low $2,000s level as the price recovers. Related Reading: Bitcoin Exchange Outflows Soar To Yearly High – Could This Fuel A Return To $70,000? The crypto analyst highlights that Ethereum is seeing buyback from the market following the crash. This suggests bullishness among investors despite the price remaining low at this point. As for the chart, the analyst points out that “a very promising technical situation is forming on W1.” RLinda proposes that there could be a number of promising conditions forming if the ETH price were to return to its global sideways range. In this case, the crypto analyst believes that Ethereum could be seeing a good cause to jump toward the $4,000-$4,800 range. Amid all of this, the crypto analyst maintains that the background for Ethereum is still quite bullish. “The liquidation (strong downward movement) and the subsequent active buyback indicates that the market is free of unnecessary traders and the train can now move in the right direction, it remains to get to the key station before departure,” RLinda stated. Key Levels To Watch The Ethereum price being bullish is positive for the cryptocurrency. However, there are still various important levels to watch that serve as important levels for the cryptocurrency to achieve this goal. This includes both support and resistance levels along the way. Related Reading: Celsius Takes Legal Action Against Tether In $2.4 Bitcoin Collateral Controversy In this case, RLinda places significant attention not he $2,717-$2,817 resistance area. Mainly, these areas serve as the most important resistance levels in this drive upward. According to the analyst, beating this resistance and forming support will provide the ETH price a promising liquidity target above $4,000. A full rundown of the resistance levels is $2,717 and $2,817, while the major support levels from here include $2,518, $2,425, and $2,400. RLinda believes that the whales’ Ethereum buyback shows that major players are still bullish. “After Friday’s test and pullback, the price is back to the level, which increases the chances of a breakout,” the crypto analyst said in closing.

A crypto analyst has reignited the debate between Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL), evaluating which cryptocurrency was more superior. Considering recent market trends and performances of both altcoins, the analyst has finally identified a clear winner in the competition. Solana Wins Battle Against Ethereum In a recent X (formerly Twitter) post, legendary crypto trader and analyst, Peter Brandt drew a comparison between Solana and Ethereum, spotlighting their fundamental characteristics, strengths and weaknesses. Based on his analysis, Brandt suggests that it was inevitable that one will be recognized as the clear winner or superior blockchain and cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Ethereum Vs. Solana: Legendary Trader Peter Brandt Reveals The ‘Clear Winner’ Sharing a price chart of Solana/Ethereum, the analyst offered a critical view of Ethereum, highlighting several vulnerabilities that are plaguing the blockchain. Despite being the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Brandt has described ETH as a difficult network to use, likely attributing this to its slow transaction speeds. He stated that Ethereum was expensive, cumbersome, and flawed. Moreover, the analyst has cast doubts on Ethereum’s claim to decentralization, suggesting that the blockchain was not as decentralized as it presents itself to be. On the other hand, Brandt praised Solana for its numerous strengths and noteworthy characteristics. The analyst points out that Solana’s ability to offer high speed transactions at a fraction of the cost of Ethereum was impressive. Brandt also disclosed that Solana’s network was easier to use, making it more accessible to developers and users. Additionally, the analyst highlights that Solana maintains a strong technical base, possibly referring to the blockchain’s unique Proof Of History (PoH) consensus mechanism. From the analyst’s perspective, Solana’s strong fundamentals and superior functionalities gives it a significant edge over Ethereum. He concluded his analysis with a bold prediction, stating that Solana could gain 100% in value relative to Ethereum in the months ahead. This underscores the analyst’s belief that Solana could potentially outperform Ethereum in the market. While Brandt’s comparison of Ethereum and Solana may suggest a bias against Ethereum, the analyst has clarified that he actually does not dislike ETH. ETH Forms Death Cross While SOL Surges To $160 A crypto analyst identified as ‘KickEx’ revealed in an X post that Ethereum and Bitcoin are forming a death cross on their respective price charts. The analyst notes that ETH’s recent market crash has led to the formation of a worrisome technical pattern. Related Reading: CryptoQuant CEO Says Bitcoin Price Could Reach New ATH If It Holds This Level KickEx has disclosed that if the death cross pattern plays out, Ethereum may experience a massive price decline in the liquidity range of around $2,000 per coin. At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading at $2,682, reflecting a 10.84% increase, according to CoinMarketCap. While Ethereum’s price faces a potentially bleak future outlook, Solana has been performing relatively well in the market. The cryptocurrency recently hit the $160 price level, marking a rise of over 10%. Although the cryptocurrency has since retreated to $157, Solana continues to show strong bullish signals amidst market downtrends. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

The NYSE American has asked the SEC for approval for it to list and trade options for three Ether ETFs from Bitwise and Grayscale.
In a notable development, BlackRock, one of the world’s largest asset managers and ETF issuers, has collaborated with the Nasdaq Stock Market in a move to introduce options for its Ethereum ETF recently approved by US regulators. 2025 Decision On Ethereum ETF Options Proposal The filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) outlines BlackRock’s proposal to amend Options 4, Section 3 to allow for options trading on the iShares Ethereum ETF Trust. Related Reading: 3 Reasons To Buy XRP Now: Crypto Analyst Shares Bullish Forecast Per the filling, if approved, options on the Trust will adhere to the Exchange’s existing rules for ETF options trading. These rules govern various aspects such as listing criteria, expirations, exercise prices, margin requirements, and trading halt procedures, ensuring a standardized approach to trading options on the Trust. The filling further reads: ….The Exchange believes that offering options on the Trust for trading on the Exchange will promote competition by providing investors with an additional, relatively low-cost means to hedge their portfolios and meet their investment needs in connection with spot ether prices and ether related products and positions However, Bloomberg ETF expert James Seyffart noted that the introduction of options on BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF is subject to regulatory approval not only from the SEC, but also from the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Seyffart expects a final decision from the SEC around April 9, 2025. Key Levels To Watch For ETH’s Price This development, if approved by the SEC, would give investors further exposure to the second largest cryptocurrency on the market. However, in the near term, ETH needs bullish catalysts to break out of the downtrend witnessed especially on Monday, when the token retraced over 20% following global economic uncertainties and increased selling pressure. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sellers Running Out Of Coins As Dominance Hits 3-Year High At the time of writing, ETH is trading at $2,488, up 1.8% over the past 24 hours, after plunging to a low of $2,112, a level not seen since January 2023 on Monday. This level is key as crypto analyst Trading Tank, in a recent social media post on X (formerly Twitter), claims that as long as ETH remains above $2,400, further price recovery could be seen in the near future for the second largest cryptocurrency on the market. Trading Tank also highlighted the $2,575 level as crucial for another leg higher to test its first resistance to climb to higher levels at $2,690 on the ETH/USDT daily chart. In the scenario in which ETH could breach this barrier, the next hurdle to watch is noted by the $2,910 resistance level, which is imperative to reclaim the $3,000 milestone.

Ethereum (ETH) recently dropped below the critical and psychological support level at $3,000, raising concerns for ETH bulls. This development comes amid the continued decline in revenue generated on the Ethereum network. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Warns That Bitcoin Could Crash To $42,000 If This Happens Ethereum Crashes Below $3,000 Ethereum is down below $3,000, with this downtrend believed to be due to several factors. One is the outflows, which the Spot Ethereum ETFs have been experiencing since they began trading on July 23. Data from Farside Investors shows that these funds again experienced a net outflow of $54.3 million on August 2. These funds haven’t had the desired impact on ETH’s price that they were expected to have, with Ethereum down over 10% since they began trading. Data from Soso Value shows that these funds have suffered cumulative net outflows of $510.7 million since they launched. Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust (ETHE) has been individually responsible for these outflows, with $2.12 billion flowing out of the fund since its launch. This has put significant selling pressure on ETH, leading to its recent downtrend. ETH’s price has also dropped below $3,000 thanks to the downtrend in the broader crypto market led by Bitcoin. Ethereum was bound to suffer a significant decline following Bitcoin’s drop as data from the market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock shows that both assets currently have a strong price correlation. Ethereum’s drop below $3,000 is undoubtedly worrisome for investors, considering how much lower it could drop. However, ETH has quickly reclaimed the $3,000 level these past three months whenever it drops below this crucial support zone. As such, this time may not be any different, especially with data from IntoTheBlock indicating a strong demand for Ethereum at this price level. If Ethereum fails to hold this range, the second-largest crypto token risks dropping to as low as $2,700, a more crucial support zone for ETH considering that 11.11 million addresses bought the token at an average price of $2,647. Ethereum’s Revenue Drops To New Lows Data from Token Terminal shows that Ethereum’s revenue has dropped to new lows, down by 40.4% in the last 30 days and 44.8% annually. Fees earned on the network have not been impressive either. Over the last 30 days, Ethereum users have paid $92.97 million in fees, a 32.8% decline and 38.3% at an annual rate. This drop in Ethereum’s revenue and fees can be attributed to the decline in the network’s active daily users. Further data from Token Terminal shows a 9.8% drop in Ethereum’s monthly active users. The same goes for the weekly and daily active users, with 20.1% and 15.3% drops, respectively.

A new dog-themed meme coin has taken the crypto market by storm. Inspired by Kabosu owner’s new dog, Neiro, a new wave of Shiba Inu-themed tokens surged on Solana. However, Its Ethereum-based competitor has stolen the show with its stellar performance in the last four days. Kabosu’s Sister Sparks New Memecoin Wave Kabosu, the dog that inspired the legendary Doge meme, passed away in May. The beloved dog also inspired the flagship memecoin Dogecoin (DOGE), and a plethora of Shiba Inu-themed tokens. Its owner recently announced she had adopted Neiro, a 10-year-old rescued Shiba Inu dog. Related Reading: Ethereum Seeing High Exchange Outflows, But Watch Out For This Bearish Signal Following the announcement, the crypto community saw the launch of several tokens inspired by the dog. Most of these tokens were deployed on Solana, initially pumping to millions in market capitalization. On its first day, the largest Solana-based Neiro meme coin reached a $100 million market cap. However, it has since plummeted over 80% to a market capitalization below $20 million, possibly due to the overabundance of Neiro tokens on the chain. The token was also heavily criticized after online reports called out alleged insider activity from the developers. Blockchain data firm Bubblemaps revealed that the developers of the largest Neiro token deployed on Solana had control of 6% of the token’s supply and eventually sold it for $5.7 million. Since then, the meme coin has seen a massive 84% price drop, going from its all-time high (ATH) of $0.12 to trading at $0.019. Are The Dog Days Back? The Ethereum-based Neiro stole the show from its Solana counterparts. The token has seen remarkable growth in the last four days, hitting a $200 million market cap on August 1. Since its creation on July 27, Neiro has registered a 4,400% surge, shredding two zeros as a result. Additionally, the token reached a new ATH price of $0.20 after soaring 81% from the day before. Nonetheless, the developers of Ethereum’s Neiro have also been accused of insider trading. Following the massive surge, Bubblemaps alerted investors that the token allegedly “is heavily controlled.” According to the report, 78% of the memecoin’s supply was sniped at launch and quickly spread among 400 wallets. The firm revealed that the wallets had sold 12% of their holdings, around $4.5 million, by July 30. Investors seemed unfazed by the reports, with many calling the report “bullish news.” Others expressed excitement by the firm’s “fudding,” stating, “A lot of the most successful memes require supply control.” Related Reading: Solana Looks ‘Ripe To Push Higher’, Is A Mania-Like Rally To $600 Coming? Moreover, many investors consider “the dog days are back” and the “Doge legacy continues” with the Ethereum-based memecoin. To an X user, there are a few reasons why Neiro’s has become an overnight sensation, including its “SHIB-like narrative,” “concentrated attention,” and the “return of dog meta that always dominates Ethereum bull cycles.” As of this writing, Neiro is trading at $0.18, a 63% surge in the last 24 hours.

Two market experts recently revised their predictions for Ethereum, with one claiming that the second-largest crypto token could rise to as high as $100,000. Interestingly, these ultra-bullish predictions align with some predictions made by financial institutions. Ethereum To Rise To $50,000 Ethereum maximalist Adriano Feria predicted in an X (formerly Twitter) post that Ethereum could reach $50,000 in this market cycle. He made this bold prediction in response to Ethereum developer Eric Conner’s prediction that ETH will reach $35,000 this cycle. Conner had initially predicted that ETH would rise above $20,000 in this bull run but eventually revised his price target because of the “ETH hate” he was receiving following his prediction. Related Reading: This PEPE Holder Cohort Is The Reason Price Is Struggling To Reclaim $0.00002 Meanwhile, Feria followed Conner’s footsteps and upped his ETH price target, predicting the crypto token to reach $100,000. He explained that the hate ETH was getting made him realize that “99% of the people in the world are completely sidelined, and institutions have barely gotten their feet wet.” Feria added that those holding ETH are truly the “world’s elite” because ETH’s bull case should send the crypto token to $100,000. The analyst suggested that Ethereum has yet to enjoy mainstream adoption, and it could send its price to the $100,000 target when that happens. This includes the entry of institutional investors into the Ethereum ecosystem, which is already happening thanks to the Spot Ethereum ETFs. Feria is also confident in his prediction and remarked that he wasn’t joking. He noted that some financial institutions have come up with bull targets close to his price target of $100,000. One of the financial institutions that the analyst might have been referring to includes VanEck, which gave a bull case price target of $154,000 for ETH by 2030. Why ETH Rising To $50,000 Is Possible Crypto investor Jesse Eckel recently made a bullish case for Ethereum, explaining why Ethereum will not only reach but surpass the $50,000 price target. He alluded to VanEck’s prediction that Bitcoin can reach $52 million by 2050. He claimed that ETH is “objectively better money than BTC, ” meaning that the former could easily attain unprecedented heights since VanEck predicts that the flagship crypto will be worth millions of dollars. Related Reading: Hedge Fund Manager Says Bitcoin Price Will Reach $428,000 If This Happens Eckel further remarked that Ethereum is currently the “backbone” of onchain finance. He claimed that ETH would “continue to grow as a legitimate form of money” as everything becomes tokenized and trillions of dollars move onchain. The investors also noted how almost every layer-2 network launches under the Ethereum ecosystem. With such massive adoption on the horizon for ETH, Eckel predicts that Ethereum can even rise to as high as $23 million based on VanEck’s prediction for Bitcoin. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at around $3,170, down over 4%, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

The crypto-Trump trade appears to be softening.
Regardless of both their maturity in the market, Bitcoin and Ethereum rivalry persists. According to recent insights from QCP Capital, a global digital asset trading firm and market maker, Ethereum appears to have now shown potential for larger price fluctuations compared to Bitcoin. QCP reveals that the volatility premium between these two major cryptocurrencies has seen a notable increase, with Ethereum leading in potential price swings. ETH to see Larger Price Swings than BTC Delving further into the insights shared, QCP Capital disclosed that it has observed Ethereum’s volatility premium over Bitcoin expanding to 8%, up from 4% just last week. This widening gap, according to QCP highlights a growing trend where Ethereum is expected to outpace Bitcoin in terms of price volatility. Particularly, the analysis suggests that Ethereum could offer more lucrative opportunities for those willing to capitalise on its market movements. Related Reading: Ethereum’s Breakout Moment: Here’s Why ETH Could Skyrocket to $15,000 Soon Furthermore, besides the impending surge in volatility, Ethereum’s market behaviour continues to diverge from that of Bitcoin, with its performance holding relatively steady even amid broader market shifts. Analysts from QCP Capital have pointed out that despite recent market uncertainties, including significant movements of Bitcoin by the US government, ETH has managed to sustain its market position more effectively than its counterpart. The analysts noted: ETH spot has performed relatively well compared to BTC following Trump’s speech, with ETHBTC gaining 5% since, despite its fourth consecutive day of spot ETF outflows. Why the strength in ETH? The market might be becoming immune to headline outflow figures due to the rotation from more expensive ETHE to the cheaper ETFs. They note that if the current trend of outflows from instruments like the Grayscale Ethereum Trust begins to slow, and inflows into Ethereum ETFs pick up, “could ETH break significantly higher?” Suggesting a trade idea, the QCP Capital analysts added: While we maintain a range-trading outlook for BTC as re-iterated yesterday, we favor accumulating ETH at its current discount, as volatility has picked up slightly. Ethereum and Bitcoin Market Performance While both Ethereum and Bitcoin have seen a negative performance in price over the past week, there remains a notable difference when being specific. For instance, over the past week, Bitcoin has decline by 1.4% however, Ethereum on the other hand has plunged 4.2% over the same period. Meanwhile, in the past 24 hours, Ethereum has seen an increase of 1.2% bringing its price to trade at $3,314 while Bitcoin still remains in the red down by 1.4% over the same period to trade at a price of $66,292, at the time of writing.

Post the Spot Ethereum ETFs launch, the ETH price has continued to struggle unexpectedly, proving that the launch of the Spot ETFs were a ‘sell the news’ event. So far, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has lost around 10% of its value since the Spot Ethereum ETFs trading began on Tuesday, July 23, and could see further decline from here, according to an analysis from Matrixport. Spot Ethereum ETFs Triggers Selling Following the launch of the Spot Ethereum ETFs, there was a lot of excitement in the market, especially around the fact that investors could now gain exposure to ETH without having to directly buy the underlying token. However, this excitement has been short-lived as days after the launch, the ETH price continues to struggle. Related Reading: End Of The Road? Shiba Inu’s Shibarium Sees Massive 80.3% Crash In Active Accounts In a report released on Thursday, Markus Thielen, Head of Research at Matrixport, outlined a number of reasons why the ETH price was declining. As Thielen explains, while the inflows crossed $100 million on the first day, the Grayscale Ethereum fund had been suffering outflows. Just like with the Spot Bitcoin ETFs launch, the Grayscale ETH fund, which holds around $9 billion in ETH, began recording outflows. This is due to the fact that Grayscale’s management fees remain high with competitors offering fees as low as 0.19%. On the first day alone, $481 million flowed out of the fund, and $326 million followed the next day. In addition to this, the Mt. Gox distributions began around the time of the Spot Ethereum ETFs launch, so this even also put extra selling pressure on the crypto market. Just as the Bitcoin price did with the Spot Bitcoin ETFs, the ETH price has responded negatively to these outflows, leading to a price decline below $4,200. Will The ETH Price Recover From Here? Outflows from the Grayscale ETH fund since the launch of the Spot Ethereum ETFs have been one of the major factors driving the ETH price decline. However, it is not the only bearish development that has emerged for the cryptocurrency. Thielen points out that the ETH price may have reached the top, using the daily stochastics indicator as a guide. Now, when the value of this indicator is low, it often means a buying opportunity and the price is hitting a low. Meanwhile, the value being high suggests that the ETH price may have hit its top. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says Bitcoin Is Headed For $260,000 But This Must Happen First According to the report, the ETH price had hit a score of 92% in the days leading up to the Spot Ethereum ETFs launch. Usually, a score above 90% is bearish for the price as it means the cryptocurrency is currently in overbought territory. Subsequently, the value of the stochastic indicator is expected to decline as investors offload their holdings. So far, there have been a 5% decline from 92% to 87%, suggesting that there is still a long way to go before the ETH price stops bleeding. “Considering the recent rally and the potential overhang from Mt. Gox, the US earnings season, and the weak seasonals for August and September, it might make sense to press the Ethereum short a bit longer,” Markus Thielen said in closing.

Ethereum whales have been busy in the market, as on-chain data shows that these investors have been heavily accumulating the second-largest crypto token by market cap. This comes amid a price decline in ETH’s price, with history suggesting that the crypto token might suffer more price declines in the short term. Whales Accumulate More ETH Data from the market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock shows that Ethereum Whales bought 297,670 ETH ($1 billion) on July 24. The previous day, these whales also bought almost 400,000 ETH. Further data shows an increase of over 28% in the inflows into these whales’ addresses in the last seven days. Related Reading: Machine Learning Algorithm Predicts Shiba Inu Price Will Rise 119% In 5 Days The decline in outflows from these addresses further highlights these investors’ bullish sentiment towards Ethereum despite its underperformance. Outflows from these accounts have declined by over 14% in the last seven days and down by over 16% in the last 30 days. The large holders’ netflow metric on IntoTheBlock also highlights this wave of accumulation among Ethereum whales, as net flows have increased by over 313%. This means that these investors are heavily accumulating rather than opting to sell their ETH holdings. On-chain analytics platform Santiment noted that this significant increase in ETH’s whale activity is due to the Spot Ethereum ETFs, which began trading on July 23. The platform made this observation while revealing that since July 17, the amount of ETH transfers has exceeded over $100,000 in value, which is over 64% higher than the number of BTC transfers and over 126% higher than the USDT transfers on the Ethereum network. The Spot Ethereum ETFs had undoubtedly presented a bullish outlook for Ethereum even before they launched, as crypto analysts like RLinda predicted that ETH could rise to $4,000 thanks to these funds. As such, it is no surprise that Ethereum whales continue to accumulate the crypto token in anticipation of higher prices from ETH. The Spot Ethereum ETFs Launch Might Be A Headwind At First The Spot Ethereum ETFs were projected to be the catalyst that would spark a massive rally in ETH’s price, and that is likely to happen at some point. However, history suggests these funds may act as a headwind for Ethereum at first, similar to the fate that Bitcoin suffered immediately after the Spot Bitcoin ETFs launched earlier this year. Related Reading: Analyst Says Solana Price Will Surge 1,000% To $1,800, Here’s When Bitcoin experienced significant price declines, largely thanks to the outflows from Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). A similar situation is already playing out for ETH with Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust (ETHE). Interestingly, Grayscale’s ETHE experienced a net outflow of $484.1 million on day 1 of trading, much larger than the net outflows GBTC experienced on day 1, and GBTC is bigger. Considering this, Ethereum could face significant selling pressure from Grayscale’s ETHE. Data from Farside Investors shows that the Spot Ethereum ETF experienced a net outflow of $326.9 million on July 24 (day 2), likely just the start of the massive outflows that could eventually pour out from the fund.
