Ethereum Spot ETFs Projected to Gain $5 Billion in 6 Months
Eight fund issuers are currently waiting for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to give its final approval for them to list and launch exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that will track the spot price of Ethereum (ETH).
There have been speculations on how much capital inflows the launch of these products would bring into cryptocurrency funds.
Ethereum Spot ETFs Will See up to $5 Billion of Inflows
In a new report, cryptocurrency exchange Gemini opined that these new funds could attract $3-5 billion in net inflows within just the first six months of trading. This positive outlook follows the successful launch of Bitcoin spot ETFs earlier this year.
The projected net inflows could translate to a total of $13-15 billion in assets under management for spot Ethereum ETFs within the first six months of trading.
This mirrors projections from financial services provider Citi, previously reported by BeinCrypto. Citi noted that net inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs surpassed $13 billion between their launch on January 4 and May 20.
The bank stated that using similar market-cap-adjusted flows, the launch of spot Ether ETFs could attract between $3.8 billion and $4.5 billion within the same period and raise the coin’s price by 23-28%.

According to Gemini, this inflow is achievable for many reasons, one of which is that Ether offers a good option for investors seeking diversification within the crypto space. This is due to its ever-growing network activity, measured by daily active addresses and transaction fees.
Also, the shift in the coin’s supply dynamics could make it even more attractive to investors. Following the change in Ethereum’s consensus mechanism from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake network, there has been a steady decline in its total supply compared to Bitcoin.
“Net inflows below 20% or $3 billion would be a disappointment, given spot BTC ETFs had $15 billion net inflows in approximately the first six months. Net inflows exceeding $5 billion, or one-third of those into spot BTC ETFs, would be a strong showing, while anything close to 50% or $7.5 billion would be a significant upside surprise,” Gemini said.
ETH Price Prediction: Demand For the Altcoin Remains Low
At press time, ETH exchanged hands at $3,446. It has faced resistance at the $3600 price level since the middle of June, causing its price to drop by 9% in the last month.
Readings from its performance on a one-day chart show that the demand for ETH is still low. For example, its Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently lies below the 50-neutral spot at 47.38 at press time.
This indicator measures an asset’s overbought and oversold market conditions. At its current value, ETH’s RSI shows a decline in buying momentum.

If this trend persists, the coin’s price may plummet to $3,407.
However, if buying pressure gains, ETH’s value may rise to $3,515 and trend toward resistance.

ETF issuer WisdomTree’s European division just announced a new ETP based on XRP. This product is currently available in four EU countries, which has led XRP’s price to jump slightly.
ETPs are a common issuer strategy to earn revenue without ETF approval, but Europe will not necessarily approve one even if the US does so.
WisdomTree’s XRP ETP
WisdomTree, one of the Bitcoin ETF issuers in the US, announced that its European branch is offering an exchange-traded product (ETP) based on XRP. This new product is currently available in Germany, Switzerland, France, and the Netherlands. A growing number of issuers have filed for an XRP ETF, but WisdomTree is taking a slightly different tack.
“The WisdomTree Physical XRP ETP offers a simple, secure, and low-cost way to gain exposure to XRP, one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Backed 100% by XRP, XRPW is the lowest-priced XRP ETP in Europe, providing direct spot price exposure,” the announcement claimed.
The possibility of an official XRP ETF is growing with the current bull market, and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse considers it “inevitable.” Still, it hasn’t happened yet, and ETP offerings allow issuers to somewhat address customers’ requirements. BitWise, which has also filed for an XRP ETF in the US, recently acquired a European ETP issuer to enter the same market.
WisdomTree, however, is no stranger to this market strategy. In May this year, it won approval to offer ETPs based on Bitcoin and Ethereum to British investors.
The UK has not yet approved a full ETF for either of these assets, but WisdomTree still gained market access. Even a fraction of the XRP market could also prove lucrative; the asset’s value spiked today.
WisdomTree Europe’s strategy page does not describe any further actions upon full approval. Even if the US approves an XRP ETF under the SEC’s new leadership, that won’t necessarily benefit WisdomTree’s European branch. For now, these ETPs built on XRP will have to suffice for this market.

Ethereum Price Regains Traction
Ethereum price remained supported above $3,000 and started a fresh increase like Bitcoin. ETH gained pace for a move above the $3,150 and $3,220 resistance levels.
The bulls pumped the price above the $3,300 level. It gained over 10% and traded as high as $3,387. It is now consolidating gains above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent move from the $3,036 swing low to the $3,387 high.
Ethereum price is now trading above $3,220 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $3,350 level. There is also a short-term contracting triangle forming with resistance at $3,360 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
The first major resistance is near the $3,385 level. The main resistance is now forming near $3,420. A clear move above the $3,420 resistance might send the price toward the $3,550 resistance. An upside break above the $3,550 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,650 resistance zone or even $3,880.
Another Decline In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,350 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,300 level. The first major support sits near the $3,250 zone.
A clear move below the $3,250 support might push the price toward $3,220 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent move from the $3,036 swing low to the $3,387 high. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,150 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,050.
