Despite perceived SEC disengagement, the precedent set by Bitcoin ETF approvals and similar issues suggests Ethereum ETFs should also be approved for consistency and investor access.
Wednesday, March 27, 2024Matt Hougan, CIO of Bitwise, predicts Ethereum ETFs will see $15 billion in net inflows in their first 18 months of trading. In a note sent to clients, he cited ETH/BTC market cap comparisons, international ETF data, and spot/futures arbitrage trading. He believes the lack of staking rewards is a “rounding error” that will not impact demand.
Ethereum ETFs now boast $10.2 billion in assets across 9 ETFs, with over $1 billion in volumes on the first trading day and over $500 million on day two. Total net flows were $107 million, even after nearly $500 million left Grayscale's Ethereum Trust.
