Ether Approaches $4,000 Ahead of Ethereum ETF Launch

As an analyst with a background in cryptocurrency markets and experience in following regulatory developments, I find this recent surge in ether’s price intriguing. The approval of eight Ethereum ETFs, coupled with former President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto remarks, seems to have ignited optimism among investors.


Ether’s price is rapidly approaching the $4,000 mark within a few short days of regulatory green lights for eight Ethereum ETFs, prior to their scheduled debuts.

According to CoinMarketCap’s data, ether’s value currently stands at $3,932, representing a 3.4% rise over the past day and a significant 35% surge since its previous level. Ether last surpassed the $4,000 mark in March, while its price has now climbed to $3,945 as of this writing.

QCP Capital, a prominent player in the crypto market-making sector, posits that recent price fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market could potentially be linked to former President and potential 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Over the weekend, Trump made supportive comments regarding cryptocurrencies, which might have influenced the market’s behavior.

US presidential hopeful Trump voiced approval for cryptocurrency businesses, stressing the importance of American dominance in this sector. He took aim at Biden’s position, viewing it as detrimental to the industry, and vowed to promote its expansion under his leadership.

In its recent market analysis, QCP Capital expressed the belief that investors hold a more positive outlook towards Ethereum (ETH) compared to Bitcoin (BTC), based on current price trends. This optimism stems from the anticipated entry of institutional investors once Ethereum’s spot Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) becomes available for trading.

“The company stated, ‘Though optimistic about Ethereum’s structural growth, we anticipate no significant price surge until we gain more information on the S-1 filings and receive some relevant data inflows. This is expected to happen soon.’ “

Cryptocurrency traders have discovered a silver lining in the delay between Ethereum ETF approvals and potential trading debuts: this extended period, which may last anywhere from weeks to months, is viewed as unexpectedly advantageous for Ethereum.

As an analyst, I’ve noticed estimates from traders suggesting that the anticipated inflows into Bitcoin ETFs could range between 15% and 30% of what we observed previously. Despite the unexpected approvals taking issuers by surprise, this delay provides potential inflows with valuable time to prepare themselves.
