Should it receive more support, chances are Ethereum would fetch better returns and possibly a larger share of the industry.
That is a long shot, but the near-term speculation is similarly hopeful. This is based on the approval of Spot Ether ETF, its robust ecosystem, and its leading blockchain.
The US Securities & Exchange Commission – SEC – has approved Form 19b-4 and will likely give a green light to registration forms soon. If approved, when approved, it would pave the way for institutional investors to get their hands on Ether from a brokerage account or other legitimate exchange platform. They have stayed away because of regulations and financial concerns. Integrating the traditional financial mechanism eliminates that discomfort and enables investors to consider diversification.
The result of Spot Bitcoin ETF approval is evident already. It has attracted significant capital inflow to the market, and more are likely to enter in the future.
