Ether inflow soared: Inflows reached 69 million USD this week, hitting a record high. ETF trading is about to launch. What's next?
Following the recent surge in Ethereum (ETH) price to nearly $4,000, the second largest cryptocurrency has seen a renewed inflow of funds and market enthusiasm. This is a response to the SEC's approval of a major asset management company's Ethereum ETF application.
According to the report, the cumulative inflow of funds into digital asset investment products reached $2 billion, with a consecutive five-week inflow of $4.3 billion.
In addition, the trading volume of Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) has increased to $12.8 billion this week, a 55% increase from the previous week.
It is worth noting that all providers have seen a flow of funds, indicating a turnaround in market sentiment. The outflow of funds from existing providers has also slowed, further enhancing positive market sentiment.
Bitcoin (BTC) continues to dominate the market, with a total inflow of $1.97 billion this week. On the other hand, Bitcoin short products have seen outflows for the third consecutive week, totaling $5.3 million. Similarly, there has been a significant increase in the inflow of Ether, recording the highest single-week inflow since March at a total of $69 million. This may be a response to the unexpected decision by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to allow spot ETFs on Ethereum.
Despite positive progress, the price of Ethereum has been difficult to maintain its bullish momentum and has failed to retest the annual high of $4,100 set in March. On Friday, the price fell to $3,577. However, Ethereum addresses holding over 10,000 ETH have increased by 3% in the past three weeks, indicating significant buying pressure.
Market analysts have different views on the future price trend of Ethereum. 'Trader Tank' predicts that ETH may fall to $3,500, but also acknowledges that once it recovers to the $3,700 level, ETH may see a bullish reversal.
On the other hand, cryptocurrency analyst Lark Davis emphasized that the supply of Ethereum on exchanges is at its lowest level in eight years, indicating that the upcoming ETF launch could trigger a 'massive supply shock' and potentially lead to a significant increase in the price of ETH.
Ultimately, due to the uncertain price of Ethereum, market participants eagerly await the next move of the cryptocurrency. As investors and analysts closely monitor market trends, the question of whether it will break $4,000 or retest the lower support level of $3,500 remains unanswered.
The current trading price of the second largest cryptocurrency in the market is $3,690, a 6.5% decrease in the past two weeks.
