Ethereum to Dominate Bitcoin Soon after US ETF Approvals
As the launch of the spot Ethereum ETF nears, institutional players are closely observing the ETH price action. In its latest report, Kaiko showed strong optimism on Ethereum’s future market performance.
Kaiko predicted that Ethereum could outperform Bitcoin with the upcoming launch of the spot Ethereum ETFs scheduled within the next two weeks. Not only Ethereum, Kaiko believes that the development will catalyze the broader market momentum leading to greater institutional inflows.
The Kaiko Research report specifically focuses on Ethereum’s market performance relative to Bitcoin. Following the approval of the 19b-4 filings for spot Ethereum ETF on May 23, the ETH/BTC ratio has surged from 00.45 to 0.050.
This ratio, a crucial metric for comparing the two assets, indicates that Ethereum could continue to gain traction, particularly with the introduction of ETFs.
During the recent crypto market sell-off, the ETH price crashed all the way to $2,700. However, amid the broader market recovery, the Ethereum price has too bounced back and is currently trading around $3,400.
Kaiko observed that overall liquidity conditions for Ethereum (ETH) have remained stable, despite the usual decrease in trading volumes during the summer months.
They highlighted that Ethereum’s 1% market depth has stayed around $230 million since the approval of the spot ETFs. This market depth refers to the volume of Ethereum that can be bought or sold near the last traded price without significantly impacting the price.
However, Kaiko in its concluding report stated that the arrival of spot Ethereum ETf could further improve the liquidity conditions for ETH. Additionally, it could also help in reducing ETH price volatility over time.
For years, Ethereum has managed to attract traditional investors due to its smart contract functionality and the large number of decentralized applications (dApps) that it hosts.
Spot Ethereum ETFs Coming on July 23
