As the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved all the spot Ethereum ETF applications, despite increased regulatory uncertainty surrounding the cryptocurrency, investors are becoming more optimistic about the potential for ETH’s price to reach new heights.  Bullish Sentiment Surrounds Ethereum ETF Approval  DeFiance Capital Founder and CIO Arthur Cheong predicts that ETH could reach an annual high of $4,500 before the newly approved index funds begin trading, surpassing its mid-March high of $4,096. This projection falls just short of ETH’s all-time high of $4,878 during the 2021 bull run. In addition, a survey conducted by WuBlockchain in the Chinese community revealed that 58% of respondents believe that ETH has the potential to rise to $10,000 or even higher in this market cycle.  Related Reading: Kickstarting The Bitcoin Bull Run: Expert Says $70,000 Is The Level To Beat The recent regulatory pivot by the SEC towards approving Ether ETFs has intensified bets on further price gains. In the seven days following the announcement, ETH experienced a 26% surge, marking the largest weekly advance since the 2021 crypto bull market.  This development brings hope to speculators, considering the success of US spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have amassed $59 billion in assets since their record-breaking debut in January.  However, spot Ethereum ETFs will not participate in staking, earning rewards by pledging tokens to maintain the Ethereum blockchain. This omission could potentially dampen interest in these funds in comparison to holding the tokens directly. Although additional SEC approvals are required before issuers such as BlackRock and Fidelity Investments can launch their products, the timeline for these releases remains uncertain. As of now, ETH is trading around $3,900, with expectations of further upside potential. Options Bets Signal Potential Climb To $5,000 According to a Bloomberg report, analysts such as Pepperstone Group Head of Research Chris Weston believe that pullbacks in ETH are buying opportunities as the risk remains skewed to the upside.  Interestingly, as seen in the chart below, some traders are placing bullish options bets, with concentrations signaling a potential climb to $5,000 or more. Furthermore, ETH’s volatility, as indicated by the T3 Ether Volatility Index, is expected to be greater than that of Bitcoin, highlighting the potential for larger price swings in the second-largest digital asset. Related Reading: Ripple CTO Addresses Curious Price Link Between XRP And XLM Insights from the futures market, particularly the level of open interest in Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Ethereum futures, provide evidence of institutional demand for regulated exposure to cryptocurrencies.  While open interest in CME Ether futures is growing, it remains significantly lower than that of CME Bitcoin futures. This suggests relatively less institutional exposure to Ether and could potentially impact initial inflows into Ether ETFs. Nevertheless, as the approval of Ethereum ETFs opens up new avenues for investment and speculation, the market is closely watching ETH’s price performance, with bullish sentiment and optimistic predictions prevailing among investors.

#ethereum #bitcoin #eth #btc #altcoin #altcoins #altcoin season #altseason #ethereum open interest #ethusd #alts #ethereum pattern

A quant has explained how a pattern currently forming in the Ethereum Open Interest could imply the altcoin season is coming “sooner than expected.” Altcoin Season May Be Approaching Soon Based On Ethereum Pattern In a CryptoQuant Quicktake post, an analyst has discussed about why an altcoin season may be coming soon for the cryptocurrency sector, based on a trend taking place in a couple of Ethereum and Bitcoin indicators. The first metric of relevance here is the “Open Interest,” which keeps track of the total amount of derivatives positions related to a given asset currently open on all centralized exchanges. Related Reading: Shiba Inu One Of The Most-Traded Tokens By Whales, Data Shows When the value of this metric goes up, it means the speculators are opening up fresh positions for the coin right now. On the other hand, a decline implies the users are either closing up their positions of their own volition or getting forcibly liquidated by their platform. Now, here is a chart that shows how the trend in the Open Interest has compared between Bitcoin and Ethereum over the past year: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Open Interest has been moving more or less sideways recently, while at the same time, the metric has registered growth for Ethereum. This would suggest that ETH has been seeing more appetite for derivatives market contracts than the original cryptocurrency recently. One of the driving factors behind this could be the news cycle related to the approval of the spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for the asset. In the same chart, the quant has also attached the data for another indicator: the Estimated Leverage Ratio (ELR). This metric measures the ratio between the Open Interest and the Exchange Reserve for any asset. The latter is naturally the total amount of the coin that’s currently sitting in the wallets of all centralized exchanges. The ELR basically provides us with information about the amount of leverage that the average user in the derivatives market is opting for right now. From the graph, it’s visible that this ratio has seen a surge for Ethereum recently but has been showing flat action for Bitcoin. Thus, it would appear that not only has ETH been seeing more speculative interest than BTC recently, but also these users opening contracts are going for higher risk as they are taking on more leverage. Related Reading: Analyst Says “Only A Matter Of Time” Before Bitcoin Flies Past ATH The analyst believes that the fact that Ethereum has overtaken Bitcoin in these indicators could be a potential sign that an altcoin season may be approaching soon. “If Ethereum’s price continues to consolidate in the current range, it’s very possible that the altcoin season will start sooner than expected,” notes the quant. It now remains to be seen how things play out in the market in the near future, given this shift of trend. ETH Price After seeing a slowdown earlier, Ethereum has been back on track in the past couple of days as its price has now climbed back above the $3,900 level.

In a landmark move for the cryptocurrency industry, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the listing of spot Ethereum ETFs on major exchanges such as NASDAQ and NYSE.

Earlier today, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved 19b-4 fillings for eight spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), paving the way for the highly anticipated institutional adoption of the second most valuable coin. The decision comes after months of uncertainty and less than six months after the regulator approved spot Bitcoin ETFs. For all that the crypto community can remember this week, the regulator uncharacteristically “scrambled” and hastily communicated to spot ETF issuers to make amends to their applications.  Related Reading: Ready For Liftoff: XRP Price Primed To Skyrocket Before November Did MicroStrategy Make A Mistake Choosing Bitcoin Over Ethereum? With spot Ethereum ETFs likely to be issued in the next few weeks, one analyst on X now thinks Michael Saylor, the former CEO of MicroStrategy, missed big rewards by choosing Bitcoin over Ethereum. As of May 24, MicroStrategy, a business intelligence firm and now one of the biggest public companies in the United States, has been increasing its BTC holdings over the years. According to Bitcoin Treasuries, MicroStrategy is the largest public company holding BTC, controlling 214,400 BTC worth over $14 billion at press time.     However, with the United States SEC setting the ball rolling for spot Ethereum ETFs, the analyst is now pointing out a hypothetical scenario. If MicroStrategy had chosen ETH over BTC, their holding would have been worth over $19 billion at spot rates. This level means MicroStrategy would be up over $4 billion. Assuming the business intelligence firm had chosen to buy and not hold but stake, their total holdings would be worth over $20.9 billion as of late May 2024. ETH Trading At A Huge Discount: Will It Replicate BTC’s Success?   Looking at the aftermath of the approval and trading of spot Bitcoin ETFs, it becomes apparent that Ethereum prices might be significantly undervalued at spot rates. After a brief dip in mid-January, BTC prices surged, propelling Ethereum to a high of $4,100. In contrast, the world’s most valuable coin soared to breach $70,000 and set all-time highs at around $74,000.  With 19b-4 forms from eight ETF issuers, including BlackRock and Fidelity, approved, the only hurdle is the approval of S-1 registration statements. There might be delays in this round. However, the United States SEC green lights, spot Ethereum ETF shares will begin trading.

Algorand Foundation’s new ad criticized Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana for their efficiency. The ad received mixed reactions from the crypto community and sparked a conversation about the art of advertising crypto products. Related Reading: Ethereum Eyes $4,000 Comeback Fueled By Bullish Buying Spree Algorand, The Only One “Delivering” Algorand’s latest ad has sparked controversy for “dissing” three networks. Titled “When Blockchain Meets The Real World, Only One Can Deliver,” the ad features a classic grocery store checkout line format. The video shows three customers trying to pay for groceries with crypto: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. During the ad, the three shoppers have problems with their respective transactions, seemingly suggesting that the rival networks are unsuitable for everyday use. The customer using Bitcoin had to wait 27 minutes for the transaction to be completed; the one paying with Ethereum was told the transaction fees were $112, and the Solana payer had his transactions repeatedly failing. All three issues in the ad are common criticisms that the three targeted networks receive. The commercial then shows the next checkout line, with buyers using Algorand as a payment method. As this line moves quickly, the video displays text stating “Instant Finality. Low Fees. Designed for the speed of life.” The ad finished with the cashier saying, “Should have shopped with Algorand,” and Anthony Scaramucci, investment guru and founder of SkyBridge, asking how to get in the fast-moving line. The Crypto Ads Conundrum The video received mixed reviews from the crypto community. Many applauded the ad, stating that Algorand is the future of Layer-1 and payments. One X user said: I can’t stress enough how much the Algorand Foundation does compared to others. All the meetings, tweets, events, etc…this isn’t happening on other chains! However, the negative responses didn’t take long to follow. Several community members considered the jab at other chains an unnecessary and “embarrassing” attack. A user jokingly claimed that Algorand achieved an “impossible goal” with the ad: “uniting all the factions of crypto to dunk on you.” Crypto commentator Zach Rynes considers that this type of marketing doesn’t make sense as he is unsure who it appeals to. In an X post, Rynes explained that the ad would leave the wrong impression on non-crypto people. To him, the video will make the public think that “crypto sucks,” not knowing that the ad is for crypto. The commentator believes it’s a “lose-lose either way” since “Crypto-native people will see this as unnecessarily combative.” Similarly, Mert, CEO of Helius Labs, brought up a point repeated by several community members. Mert criticized Algorand for spending money on an ad when its “top two explorers [are] going out of business due to no funding.” Moreover, he seems to consider the jab at other networks ironic when Algorand’s got its “entire economic security flipped by two dog coins on Solana (WIF + BONK).” Cardano Joins The Advertisement Conversation Despite the criticism, the discussion also sparked interest in the ADA community. X account ADA Whale praised the commercial for being funny. Another community member tagged Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson in the video, suggesting he should start looking for a marketing team to promote Cardano. The user cited the US government’s U-turn, possibly bringing regulatory clarity, as a decisive factor. This is not the first time Cardano has received criticism over its marketing approach. In March, the conversation sparked when the “Cardano Girls” video became viral. Content creator Lily Brodi suggested that despite having the technology aspect figured out, Cardano has an “unattractiveness problem.” This problem prevents a broader audience from entering its community and adopting the technology. Related Reading: Analyst Says “Only A Matter Of Time” Before Bitcoin Flies Past ATH Ultimately, crypto ads remain a hot topic and a useful tool for the industry. Whether users find them “cringy” or “unnecessary” sometimes, they have the potential to help with broader adoption through educational and entertaining crypto-related content.

Bitcoin is fast-dropping, looking at price action in the daily chart. Even after the impressive spike above $71,500 early this week, there needs to be a conclusive follow-through for optimistic bulls. Despite this correction, one analyst strongly believes Bitcoin will rally sharply, reaching $80,000 by the end of the month.   Will Bitcoin Hit $80,000 By End Of May? Taking to X, the analyst thinks HODLers, not speculators, will reap the maximum benefits from Bitcoin. Based on the trader’s assessment, not only will BTC fly above $80,000 by the end of May, but the coin will also spike to peak at $95,000 in June. Accordingly, reading from the candlestick arrangement, those who position themselves at spot rates might enter at favorable prices, scooping the coin at a discount. Even so, when BTC flies to $95,000 in less than seven weeks from now, the trader expects prices to cool off. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Drop Below $70,000 Apparently Driven By Lack Of Interest, Glassnode Data Shows The retracement will also wash out speculators hitching the leg up.  At spot rates, the path of least resistance is northward. BTC is also down roughly 6% from this week’s highs, although the uptrend remains. The $72,000 line is emerging as a strong resistance level as prices continue to move horizontally. On the lower end, $60,000 is worth watching. For the uptrend to take shape, a high volume must be close to $72,000. Of note is that bulls have yet to breach and close above this line since the surge to all-time highs in mid-March. Capital Is Flowing To Ethereum: Will The United States SEC Reject Spot ETH ETFs?   Sentiment will play a key role in propelling prices higher. So far, the analyst acknowledges that there is a shift in sentiment. As the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) unexpectedly prepares to approve spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), investors have been rotating capital to ETH. This has slowed the momentum, even lowering prices, as in the current case. The ETHBTC price chart shows that Ethereum outperforms Bitcoin, adding 25% from mid-May 2024. Related Reading: Non-Empty USDC And USDT Wallets See 13.9% And 15.7% Spike, Why This Is Good For Crypto There has been no official communication from the United States SEC on spot ETH ETF approval.

Recent developments in the crypto market indicate a strong bullish sentiment among Ethereum traders, particularly in the options market. Amid the growing anticipation for potential approvals of spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), there has been a noticeable shift in option pricing, with Ethereum call options becoming more expensive than put options across all expiries. This pricing pattern suggests the market is optimistic about Ethereum’s price prospects. Notably, A call option gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy an asset at a specified price within a specific time frame. Related Reading: Is Ethereum Set For A Major Rally? Options Traders Bet Big On $3,600+ Targets For June This option type is typically purchased by traders who believe the asset’s price will increase. Conversely, a put option provides the holder the right to sell the asset at a predetermined price and is often used as protection against a decline in the asset’s price. Market Indicators Point To A Bullish Ethereum Luuk Strijers, CEO of Deribit, highlighted this trend in his communication with The Block. He noted that the “put minus call skew is negative across all expiries and increasing further beyond the end-of-June expiry, a quite bullish signal.” Additionally, the basis, or the annualized premium of the futures price over the spot price, has increased to around 14%, further reinforcing the bullish outlook. The analysis reveals that traders prefer to purchase call options at a premium compared to put options, particularly for those set to expire at the end of June and later. This pattern is a sign of a bullish market, indicating that traders are not as interested in securing protection against potential price drops as they are in anticipating that Ethereum’s value will keep climbing. Meanwhile, after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) unexpectedly asked for changes in filings, there has been a resurgence in optimism regarding the possible approval of spot Ethereum ETFs. This optimism has translated into significant market activity, with Deribit experiencing nearly unprecedented trading volumes. Strijers remarked, “We recorded an almost unprecedented trading volume of $12.5 billion notional over the last 24 hours.” This surge in trading volume and market interest reflects how traders and investors position themselves to capitalize on the potential approval of spot Ethereum ETFs. According to data from Deribit, over $480,000 calls will expire by the end of this month, with a notional value of more than $1.7 billion. The data further reveals that the strike price reaches as high as $7,000, with a total intrinsic value of $1.452 billion, indicating that many Ethereum options traders are highly bullish on ETH. ETH Price Performance And Forecast Meanwhile, Ethereum is undergoing slight retracement, down by 2.4% in the past 24 hours, with a trading price of $3,690. Despite this pullback, the asset has maintained a strong uptrend, rising nearly 25% over the past seven days. As the market’s anticipation around spot ETH ETFs grows, a prominent crypto analyst has suggested a potential price movement for Ethereum, indicating a brief pullback at around $4,000 before surging to new all-time highs. Related Reading: Ethereum Nears Crucial Breakout: Could $4,000 Be The Next Move?
