With the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) inching closer to the Bitcoin ETF decision deadline on Jan. 10, all eyes are on the potential approval and its impact on the crypto market. Notably, Ethereum (ETH) stands to benefit from a positive outcome.
An approved Bitcoin ETF could pave the way for other crypto-based exchange-traded funds, potentially including Ethereum. This regulatory milestone could create a framework applicable to various cryptocurrencies, opening up new opportunities for Ethereum.
The SEC’s recent decision to delay pending Ethereum ETF applications until May 2024 has created anticipation in the market. With applications from major players like Grayscale, VanEck, and ARK Invest, the approval of a spot Ethereum ETF in the U.S. seems promising.
Despite regulatory delays, Ethereum remains unchallenged as a security by the SEC in recent lawsuits against crypto exchanges. This favorable treatment hints at a bright future for ETH, especially if a spot Ethereum ETF is greenlit by May 2024.
If a Bitcoin ETF approval sparks a buying frenzy rather than a sell-off, Ethereum prices are poised for a significant rally. Historically correlated with Bitcoin’s price movements, Ethereum’s price surge could attract traditional investors seeking exposure to crypto assets.
On a technical note, ETH’s price is flirting with resistance levels as the market anticipates the Bitcoin ETF decision. A positive outcome could lead to ETH breaking out of its rising wedge pattern, setting a bullish trajectory toward $3,870 by March.
