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.

BITCOIN AND CRYPTO WILL SOAR AT LEAST 100X TO $100 TRILLION MARKET CAP SAYS MACRO GURU RAOUL PAL!!
💰 BlockFi: Up To $250 Bitcoin Bonus: https://blockfi.com/cryptonewsalerts
Macroeconomics guru and Real Vision co-founder Raoul Pal believes that the market cap of Bitcoin and crypto can soar at least 100x from its current valuation of about $1.7 trillion.
In a new tweetstorm, the former Goldman Sachs manager tells his 419,800 followers that many traditional investors fail to see the potential of the crypto markets as they believe assets often revert back to their mean or their average price over time.
“I’m finding it fascinating to see traditional finance and business people first trying to get their heads around BTC, then other crypto protocols, then DeFi (decentralized finance) and now NFTs (non-fungible tokens). At every single stage in the rapidly evolving ecosystem, they have used mean-revertionist thinking as opposed to exponential network effects analysis and therefore everything looks like a bubble or a misallocation of capital.”
Pal adds that while many projects in the crypto space will die, those that survive will attract more participants which will take the industry to greater heights.
“As thousands of projects, all pushing boundaries, go through the same survive-or-die and then network effects, the entire ecosystem rises.”
The Real Vision executive also says he believes the digital asset revolution will facilitate the transfer and creation of wealth to the tune of hundreds of trillions of dollars.
“As the internet of value and trust accelerates, it is going to destroy more large old business models than maybe the internet itself. I know this sounds grandiose and hyperbolic, but the TAM (total addressable market) of the transfer, storage, accretion of value is the largest and most valuable on Earth…
This space will not be a $1.7 trillion ecosystem as it is today but a multi-hundred trillion dollar ecosystem eventually. You can embrace change or fight it, but you owe it to yourself to understand it as the pace of innovation is going exponential too.”

Bitcoin Whales ‘Bought The Dip’ As Orders For $100K Or More Hit All-Time Highs
Bitcoin (BTC) whales and institutions alike have made the most of the recent BTC price “dip” by buying big, data suggests.
In an update on March 9, on-chain analytics service Material Indicators noted that buy orders of $100,000 and higher on Binance — the biggest cryptocurrency exchange by volume worldwide — are reaching all-time highs.
In stark contrast to orders worth less than $100,000, larger buys are more frequent than ever before in Bitcoin’s history.
Smaller allocations have plummeted in 2021, matching an existing narrative that institutions are scooping up liquidity on exchanges which surfaced during the recent bull run.
“The $100k – $1M class is now also about to make a new ATH,” Material Indicators commented on Twitter alongside a chart.
“Meaning, they bought the dip.”
Material Indicators previously voiced concerns about this week’s price rise, arguing that whales could “sell into” the surge, producing a repeat of the run to $58,000 all-time highs and subsequent 25% correction.
While this has so far not come to pass, analysts also noted that macroeconomic factors were also having a different impact to that which was expected.

JP Morgan: Bitcoin’s ‘Biggest Enemy’ – Suddenly Appears To Be Going All In On BTC | K Bull Trap?
➡️ Cryptocurrency Masterclass: http://class.cryptonewsalerts.net
BITCOIN NEWS TODAY: Earlier this month, JP Morgan signed Coinbase and rival BTC and crypto exchange Gemini after a lengthy vetting period, it was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
JP Morgan approved the two Bitcoin exchanges’ accounts last month and is already processing transactions—potentially signalling the end of the crypto industry’s banking woes.
The bitcoin and cryptocurrency community has complained for years that banks including J.P. Morgan have denied them services and blocked accounts that dealt with crypto businesses.
Meanwhile, it has emerged Jamie Dimon has been hosting secret meetings with Coinbase chief executive Brian Armstrong since 2018, author Jeff Roberts revealed in his book, Kings of Crypto.
“Ironically, Brian Armstrong and Jamie Dimon of J.P. Morgan—who was the biggest enemy of bitcoin and has pissed on it for years—it turns out they were having secret meetings in 2018 at J.P. Morgan’s headquarters,” Roberts told Laura Shin’s Unchained podcast while promoting the book, which charts Coinbase’s rise to the top of the crypto industry.
However, J.P. Morgan’s interest in cryptocurrencies might not extend all the way to bitcoin quite yet.
“We are supportive of cryptocurrencies as long as they are properly controlled and regulated,” Umar Farooq, JP Morgan’s head of digital treasury services and blockchain, said back in 2017. J.P. Morgan launched its own answer to bitcoin last year, JPM Coin.
Unlike bitcoin, JPM Coin is pegged to the dollar and aimed at speeding up and reducing the costs of global payments.
Meanwhile, some have accused Coinbase’s Armstrong as being “skeptical” of bitcoin while working to promote other blockchain networks and cryptocurrencies such as ethereum.
“I’m sure he would deny it, but it’s interesting to me that the CEO of the world’s most prominent bitcoin-related company seems so skeptical of bitcoin,” said Bloomberg editor and analyst Joe Weisenthal, commenting on a Twitter thread by Armstrong suggesting it might not be bitcoin that pushes the cryptocurrency ecosystem into the mainstream.
Despite J.P. Morgan’s softening attitude toward bitcoin and crypto, the nascent technology is still fighting an uphill battle.

$10,000 Bull Trap? Why Bitcoin Price Is Now Likely to Pull Back
Bitcoin price is up 25% for the month of May, but is a pullback now imminent?
Starting out on the monthly, we can see that Bitcoin grew in value by nearly 25% in the month of May.
This is always a nice thing to see. However, since the March 12 dump, it’s nothing for long term hodlers to get excited about just yet.
Nevertheless, as the one month candle is due to open above the .382 fib retracement level, a move up towards the .618 of $13,700 is something to be excited about.
With that being said, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, we first need to claim $11,800, and one cannot ignore that a move to the downside is always a possibility for the king of cryptos also.
As things stand, if June was to be bearish, a pullback to between $7,400 and $7,600 is where I’d be placing some buy orders, and that is what I’ll explain today.
