Ether ETF Launch Expected to Drive $10 Billion Inflows and All-Time High Prices
Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are set to make a big splash in the cryptocurrency market, with experts predicting up to $10 billion in new inflows and a surge in Ether prices to all-time highs by the end of the year.
According to Tom Dunleavy, managing partner at crypto investment firm MV Global, the launch of eight spot Ether ETFs in the United States could attract billions of dollars in investment, similar to the success seen with Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year. With regulators expected to give the green light for trading to begin soon, the stage is set for Ether to shine.
Dunleavy believes that ETH ETFs could bring in around $1 billion per month, driving up demand for Ether and pushing prices to new highs. He points out that Ether is less available on exchanges compared to Bitcoin, making it more responsive to buying pressure from ETFs.
The success of Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year saw a significant price appreciation, and Dunleavy expects a similar outcome for Ether. He believes that traditional investors will find Ether more appealing, describing it as a tech stock or internet bond, which could make it a more attractive investment option.
While Ether has lagged behind Bitcoin in performance this year, Dunleavy remains optimistic about its potential. He cautions, however, that the rebound in Ether’s performance may not necessarily benefit other altcoins, as ETF investors are likely to be more traditional investors rather than onchain users.
Overall, the launch of Ether ETFs is expected to bring a new wave of investment into the cryptocurrency market, driving up prices and potentially setting new records for Ether by the end of the year.
