Biden’s decision to drop out from the race was described as a “win for crypto assets” by eToro market analyst Josh Gilbert in a recent note to Cointelegraph:

 “The longer that we see Trump staying ahead in the election odds, the more crypto assets will price in his victory.”

Industry analysts expect the spot Ether ETFs to muster between <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ether-etfs-sidekick-bitcoin-etfs-bloomberg-analyst">10% to 20% of the flows</a> that spot Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) ETFs have seen since those products launched a little over six months ago.
