How billions in outflows from Grayscale could impact Ethereum ETF launch

Outflows from the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) could dampen the Spot Ethereum ETF approval party but create significant opportunities for traders.

In a surprise for markets, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved eight spot Ethereum ETFs on May 23, leading to a wave of positive sentiment.

But perhaps even more surprisingly, the Ether (ETH) price barely reacted to the news.

Before the SEC announcement on May 23, the price of Ether was $3,742.31. It rose to $3,959.28 on May 27 before falling to $3859.39 on May 28. A consistent bull run has yet to emerge.

New South Korean leadership will press for BTC ETF trading

The Democratic Party of Korea promised to allow Bitcoin exchange-traded funds and it expects to follow through, one way or another.

The Democratic Party of Korea will request that the Financial Services Commission (FSC) reconsider its interpretation of the legal status of spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs), according to a local press report. Allowing spot ETFs with underlying virtual assets was one of the party’s campaign promises.

An unnamed official of the Democratic Party policy committee told The Korea Economic Daily that the party would make the request after the opening of the National Assembly in June. The opposition party was swept into power in the April elections in South Korea and holds 175 of 300 seats in the legislative body.

The FSC issued a statement on Jan. 12 saying domestic securities firms could violate the Capital Markets Act by listing foreign spot BTC ETFs. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission approved spot BTC ETF trading on Jan. 10. The South Korean financial regulator’s position was not well received. The previous presidential administration urged the FSC to reconsider its decision on Jan. 18.
