Grayscale’s Ethereum ETF could bleed $110M daily in first month: Kaiko

Grayscale’s Ethereum ETF could bleed 0M daily in first month: Kaiko

Coin Telegraph

If Grayscale’s slated spot Ether ETF follows the same path as its Bitcoin one, there could be some short-term pressure on the price of ETH.

Grayscale’s yet-to-launch spot Ether (ETH) exchange-traded fund (ETF) could bleed an average of $110 million per day if it follows a similar pattern to its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust in the first month.

The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) converted from a closed-end fund to an ETF on Jan. 11, which saw 23% of its assets under management at launch flow out in the first month — totaling $6.5 billion, Kaiko analysts wrote in a May 27 report.

ETHE has an AUM of $11 billion. If it has “a similar magnitude of outflows” as GBTC, “this would amount to $110 million of average daily outflows or 30% of ETH’s average daily volume on Coinbase,” according to Kaiko.

Ethereum price in ‘bull market’ after spot ETH ETF approvals greenlight rally toward K

Coin Telegraph

With the spot ETH ETFs approved, traders are confident that Ethereum price is ready to rally well above $4,000.

Traders continue to push Ether (ETH) price closer to $4,000 on May 27, with the altcoin registering a 3.5% gain for the day.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows strong performance from Ether which rose from a low of $3,048 on May 20, climbing 27% to reach a 10-week high of $3,964 on May 27.

Ether’s performance over the last seven days has largely been driven by the markets’ anticipation that the spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States would be approved. Even though ETH displayed a lackluster performance after the approval, the move toward $4,000 is viewed as significant.

Polymarket gets backlash over ‘approved’ outcome on M Ethereum ETF bet

approval

A multi-million bet on “Ethereum ETF approved by May 31” resolved to a “Yes” on Polymarket as news from the SEC broke, but the losing side argues it's not over yet.

Polymarket users who lost money by betting against the approval of spot Ether (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are crying foul toward the decentralized betting platform, arguing the bet is still on.

One betting market on the blockchain platform saw over $13.2 million worth of bets placed on whether an Ether ETF would be approved by May 31 — but it didn’t exactly detail what “approved” meant.

The market closed at a “Yes” result on May 23, after the Securities and Exchange Commission greenlit the 19b-4 filings for multiple Ether ETFs. Polymarket's logs show the result was briefly disputed but ultimately resolved with the same “Yes" outcome.

VanEck drops new Ethereum ETF ad within an hour of SEC approval

May 23, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Coin Telegraph

VanEck launched a new ad centered around Ethereum, just 30 minutes after the SEC greenlit 19b-4 proposals for spot Ether ETFs.

Asset manager VanEck was quick to celebrate its newly-approved spot Ether (ETH) exchange-traded fund (ETF) with an arty 37-second advertisement coaxing viewers to “Enter the ether.”

VanEck posted its ad spot to X on May 23, roughly 30 minutes after the Securities and Exchange Commission approved its 19b-4 filing for a spot Ether ETF alongside BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, ARK 21Shares, Invesco Galaxy, and Bitwise.

The SEC still needs to greenlight each ETF’s S-1 filing to begin trading, which analysts say could take as long as a few months.
