Ethereum could fall 30% after spot ETH ETFs launch — Crypto VC

Mechanism Capital’s Andrew Kang believes an Ether ETF would provide limited upside for the asset unless Ethereum “develops a compelling pathway to improve its economics.”

Ether (ETH) could tumble to as low as $2,400 after the launch of spot Ether exchange-traded funds, says Andrew Kang, a founder and partner at crypto-focused venture capital firm Mechanism Capital.

Ether is currently trading for $3,410, according to CoinGecko. A tumble to $2,400 would be a nearly 30% fall from its current price.

Bitcoin ETFs make 26% of BlackRock’s 2024 inflows, 56% of Fidelity’s

However, the impressive flows from BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC haven’t been enough to gain on the leading ETF asset manager by total flows, Vanguard.

BlackRock and Fidelity’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have accounted for a significant share of the issuers’ total ETF inflows this year.

The Bitcoin ETFs amount to 26% and 56% in year-to-date inflows for BlackRock and Fidelity respectively, according to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, citing data from Bloomberg Intelligence.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) have seen $16.6 billion and $8.9 billion in inflows since they launched nearly five months ago, according to Farside Investor data.
