The cryptocurrency community is abuzz with anticipation as spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds （ETFs） are set to debut on July 23, following the SEC’s rule change over two months ago. This launch is expected to draw significant attention from investors, who are hopeful that the ETFs will see quick asset accumulation, boosting Ethereum’s market presence.
“The launch of the futures-based ETH ETFs in the US late last year was met with underwhelming demand. All eyes are on the spot ETFs’ launch with high hopes on quick asset accumulation. Although a full demand picture may not emerge for several months, ETH price could be sensitive to inflow numbers of the first days.”

This widespread involvement of established financial institutions is seen as a positive development for Ethereum and the broader cryptocurrency market.
