Ethereum

In a landmark development, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the commencement of trading for spot Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This approval allows mainstream investors to access the price moves of the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency through easy-to-trade vehicles. The decision follows the SEC’s earlier approval of Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs in January.Packaging Ethereum in an ETF wrapper makes it more accessible to conventional investors, who can now buy and sell ETH through traditional brokerage accounts. Since their debut, Bitcoin ETFs have attracted significant investment. While Ethereum ETFs could impact the price of ETH, analysts predict that inflows into these funds won’t be as high as for their Bitcoin-focused counterparts.This approval marks a significant step in the crypto industry, bringing Ethereum closer to mainstream adoption. Investors can now access more than 70% of the liquid crypto asset market through low-cost exchange-traded products (ETPs). <img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/54e8d4449bb048f78fabf36a09dbe920.png" /> U.S. spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds recorded $106.7 million in net inflows on its first day of trading, with over $1 billion in trading volume.The nine different ether ETFs from eight issuers began trading on Tuesday.
