Breaking News! Ethereum Spot ETF has just made a major breakthrough. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has approved 19b-4 filings from several leading institutions, a key step in the entire approval process.

The approved institutions are quite formidable—Fidelity, iShares (a subsidiary of BlackRock), VanEck, Invesco, Galaxy, and Ark Investment are all on the list. Next, once the S-1 form officially takes effect, trading can commence. Industry experts generally believe this process will be completed within the next few weeks.

The significance of this for the market is self-evident. Once the Ethereum spot ETF is officially launched, ordinary investors will be able to buy Ethereum as easily and conveniently as stocks, without needing to open accounts on exchanges or learn wallet operations. This pathway is now open, and the channel for traditional funds to enter crypto assets is fully unlocked. Based on the experience from Bitcoin spot ETFs, such products tend to attract a large amount of institutional and retail funds, potentially leading to a significant change in the market landscape.

ETH-2.79%

BTC-2.03%

ngl the real question is what happens to gas fees when all these normies pile in... we talking 500 gwei? 1000 gwei? back in my mining days we'd laugh at current fees, now look at us lol. institutional money is coming but eth still can't handle actual usage, this is why rollups matter fr fr

Is this wave really coming? Is the ETH spot ETF about to take off? Get it straight, can it really go live within a few weeks? These institutions are moving pretty fast. Once BlackRock makes a move, traditional funds have no choice but to enter the market willingly. Wait, if it goes live, can the price increase, or will it be hammered down again? It feels like another wave of big funds is entering. Can retail investors get a piece of the pie? The experience from the Bitcoin ETF is right here, but can ETH replicate that success?
