ETHNews <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/rising-ethereum-staking-activity-amidst-declining-network-use-a-contradiction-explained/">market analysts</a>, including Bloomberg’s ETF expert Eric Balchunas, speculate that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) might approve the Ethereum ETF by July 18th, 2024. This approval could significantly impact Ethereum’s market position, attracting more institutional investments. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"> 
 We don't have a new over/under launch date yet because we haven't heard what the SEC's game plan is. Hope to hear soon. But if you forced me gun to head style to give my best guess for date I'd go with July 18th.
