All Eyes on Spot Ether ETF 

Issuers’ registration applications for spot Ethereum ETFs were authorized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, marking the latest milestone in the cryptocurrency industry. The funds are slated to go live on Tuesday afternoon.

Senior Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas in May, said that Ethereum ETFs might draw 10–15% of the assets obtained by spot bitcoin ETFs. Citigroup predicted that in the first half of the year, the funds will gather between $4.7 billion and $5.4 billion.

More exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based on other cryptocurrencies, like Solana, may also be possible after the approval.
