On July 23, 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved nine Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), marking a significant milestone in the cryptocurrency market. These ETFs, which track the price of ether, the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain, saw substantial interest from investors on their first day of trading.
The launch was met with strong inflows, totaling approximately $107 million. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) topped the list with $273 million in investments, while the Bitwise Ethereum ETF (ETHW) came in second with $204 million. The Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) also saw significant interest, securing $71 million in assets.
This launch comes after the successful introduction of Bitcoin ETFs earlier in the year, which set a precedent for cryptocurrency-based ETFs. The approval of Ethereum ETFs is expected to make ether more accessible to traditional investors, as these funds can be bought and sold through conventional brokerage accounts.
The trading volume for these new ETFs reached nearly $1.1 billion on the first day, indicating robust market interest. Despite the strong start, the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) experienced outflows of $484 million, highlighting a shift in investor preference towards the newly launched ETFs.
The introduction of Ethereum ETFs is seen as a pivotal moment for the cryptocurrency market, potentially driving further adoption and investment in digital assets. Analysts predict that these ETFs could attract up to $10 billion in inflows over the coming months, potentially pushing the price of ether to new highs by the end of the year.
This development underscores the growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies in mainstream finance and the increasing demand for diversified investment options in the digital asset space.

BTC PRICE COULD RECOVER IF BULLS DEFEND THESE KEY LEVELS | Chainlink Up 40% Despite Crypto Meltdown
OPM Wealth: http://opm.cryptonewsalerts.netThe BTC price faced a serious downturn this week, shedding more positions from above $9,500.
Now, the Bitcoin price is fighting for key support levels, in case it breaks down closer to the low $8,000s.
Bitcoin bounced on Friday, moving to $8,659.07 after dipping twice to the $8,500 tier.
At these price levels, the accounts in the money and out of the money are pretty well balanced.
The latest IntoTheBlock report shows that bitcoin may put up a serious fight around the $8,600 to $8,900 level, where 873,000 addresses are holding onto 643,000 BTC.
If that level breaks through, there are other signs of possible support levels between $8,100 and $8,300.
At that area, defense may come from an even larger group of 810,000 holders, who bought 593,000 BTC at this price point.
Addresses out of the money, if they decide to liquidate, may pose resistance at above $9,150.
But overall, the robust number of addresses in the money may lead to “hodling” behavior, giving bitcoin more resilience.
Chainlink (LINK) Up 40% despite Ongoing Crypto Meltdown; More Gains Coming?
Chainlink’s native token LINK was among the biggest gainers as a majority of assets in the crypto market plunged deeply earlier this week.
The eleventh-largest cryptocurrency beat the bearish odds to grow by more than 40 percent since February 26.
It established a week-to-day high at $4.38 in early Saturday trading, hinting its inclination to behave as a hedge against Bitcoin, the top asset that plunged by circa 16 percent this week.
“Chainlink is receiving tremendous exposure during this BTC, ETH retrace. It’s performing with the lights on. There will be a sizable increase in wallets. More excited evangelists. More tweets. More buying, less selling. Welcome All To The Brotherhoood. LINK”
The safe-haven narrative was not in play during most of the February session.
The LINK-to-USD exchange rate slipped almost in tandem with the rest of the crypto market after settling its year-to-date high of $4.90.
It was down by up to 36 percent before it even attempted a pullback.
But Chainlink validated its key supports, which other cryptocurrencies failed to maintain.
The coin bounced back from its 50-day moving average, showing higher buying interest near the area. It was not the case with Bitcoin or XRP, which plunged below their short-term moving averages in massive sell-off rounds.
Chainlink’s ability to maintain its crucial floors led to a decent recovery this week, opening up the possibilities of extended upside momentum in the next.
“A bullish retest of the monthly close bought up recently,” said popular market analyst CryptoGainz. [There is now] zero resistance above. Absolute juggernaut. No reason to think [LINK] won’t outperform the field again next month.”

Massive $68 Trillion Wealth Transfer Bullish for Bitcoin (BTC), Says Crypto Influencer
A looming, massive transfer of wealth is one of the single largest reasons to be bullish on Bitcoin, according to crypto influencer Nick Chong.
Chong, a journalist and marketer at the HTC Exodus Bitcoin division, says Millennials will likely funnel a portion of inherited wealth from their parents and grandparents into BTC, a shift that bodes well for the leading cryptocurrency’s long-term prospects.
“Bitcoin’s most bullish statistic: millennials will inherit $68 trillion from baby boomers. Why? Confluence of distrust in institutions, devaluation of fiat, shift from gold to BTC, and the growth of digital tech will make Bitcoin investing a no-brainer.”
Cerulli Associates, an asset management research firm, estimates nearly 45 million US households will hand over $68.4 trillion in wealth to heirs and charity in the next quarter century.
Chong cites an April 2019 report from venture capital firm Blockchain Capital, which indicated that millennial interest in Bitcoin was increasing despite the bear market at that time.
Wrote Spencer Bogart, a general partner at the firm,
“Younger demographics appear most inclined to purchase Bitcoin: 42% of those aged 18–34 said they are ‘very’ or ‘somewhat’ likely to purchase Bitcoin in the next 5 years — up 10 percentage points from 32% in October 2017.”

TEEKA TIWARI: 12 SECONDS TO $12,000 REPLAY: http://12seconds.cryptonewsalerts.netHere’s the ‘4 Long-Term Bitcoin Scenarios’ shared on Crypto Twitter that are most likely to play out according to well known Cryptocurrency analyst Alex Kruger:
#1 – Bitcoin becomes a global reserve currency. Current hodlers, all proven to be early, get immensely rich.
#2 – Scarcity keeps price going up forever. Bitcoin continues to outperform. Investors do extraordinarily well.
#3 – After a few more epic runs $BTC eventually matures and settles into a wide range, like most commodities do (in real-terms). Bitcoin maxis turn into goldbugs 2.0.
#4 – Bitcoin dumps into oblivion. People keep on buying the dip. Bitcoiners get REKT.
In other Crypto news today…
Drastically dropping volumes on Crypto exchanges could mean that it’s the calm before the storm for the BTC price.
Bitcoin volume on BitMEX, the leading destination for trading crypto derivatives, reached $784 million worth of BTC, its lowest level since March 30th.
The last time the BitMEX exchange recorded such underwhelming numbers, the BTC price surged by more than 20 percent just two days later, kick-starting the 2019 bull run.

This secret quantitative trading system has been producing Teeka 84% winning trades since he started beta testing it 4 months ago.
This is unheard of yes, but these are the facts and numbers don’t lie.
You have to see it to believe it, so check it out for yourself.
This REPLAY expires real soon: http://12seconds.cryptonewsalerts.netTeeka Tiwari takes us inside a secret money-making system like no other we’ve seen.
Can a trading system based on complex math and rocket science really beat the market?
The math and science behind this system is incredibly complex.
It uses 350 years of stock market data, complex aerospace technology, and an algorithm 100 times faster than anything you can access in a lab to predict where stock prices might move next.
This is the goal of quant trading: to build models that find signals hidden in the noice of the market that allow you to predict what comes next.
This quantitative trading system combines rocket science with a 100X-speed trading algorithm to guarantee you a shot to see $12,000/month with a 12 second move, without cryptocurrencies, without private placements, without stocks, and with no trading experience necessary.
“The trading system so accurate, I took money out of Crypto to commit to this instead.” – Teeka Tiwari
