Ethereum Inflows Surge to Four-Month High: Price Rally Imminent?
Inflows into Ethereum (ETH) digital investment products have now reached the highest value since March. This new record suggests that ETH’s price may continue recovering as it has within the past week.
ETH’s price as of this writing is $3,338, representing a 4.12% increase in the last 24 hours. But will the altcoin price continue to move northward?
More Money for Ethereum Is More Profits for Holders
According to CoinShares, the crypto weekly inflows totaled $1.44 billion. This value makes it the fifth largest the product has seen since its inception. As expected, Bitcoin (BTC) had the lion’s share.
However, with $72 million, Ethereum has been able to register consistent inflows over the past few weeks while hitting the highest figure in four months.
“A wide range of altcoins saw inflows, most notable being Ethereum, which saw US$72m inflows last week, being the largest inflows since March and likely in anticipation of the imminent approval of the spot-based ETF in the US.” James Butterfill, CoinShares Head of Research, wrote.
Recently, BeInCrypto reported that a number of analysts expect the spot Ethereum ETFs to launch this week.
In addition, according to Glassnode, ETH holders have begun to experience some form of respite. This is because of the indications revealed by the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR).
The SOPR examines market spending behavior, providing insights into profits and losses over a period of time. When the value of the SOPR is 1, moved coins are sold for profit on a particular day.

But when it is lower than 1, it implies sell-offs at a loss, and if it is exactly 1, it means holders are selling at the breakeven point.
As shown above, Ethereum’s SOPR is 1.01 at press time. If sustained, successive peaks will indicate that the spent coins are moved back into circulation, increasing the probability of a price rally.
ETH Price Prediction: $3,300 Holds, But How About $4,000?
Like the SOPR, Ethereum’s Open Interest (OI) gives signs that suggest that the price will increase as the value is $7.72 billion.
OI refers to the sum of the value of open contracts in the market. When it increases, it means that market participants are increasing their exposure to a coin. However, a decrease implies that participants are closing their net positions.
From a trading and historical perspective, a rise in OI backs an increase in ETH’s spot value. Therefore, if interest in the cryptocurrency continues to jump, so will the price. If this remains the case, ETH could reach $3,474 in the short term.
Further, if inflows into the ETFs reach $1 billion, as has been predicted in some corners, ETH may retest $4,000.
However, the In/Out of Money Around Price (IOMAP) shows that there is a chance of invalidation. The IOMAP classifies addresses based on those making money, those out of money, and those at the breakeven point.
If the number of addresses in the money is higher, the price region will provide support. But if it is the other way around, crypto will face resistance.

At press time, we noticed that 3.57 million addresses bought 2.83 million ETH at an average price of $3,385. Meanwhile, 2.04 million purchased 1.15 million of the cryptocurrency around $3,282.
Since there is a larger number of addresses out of the money, it means Ethereum will find it challenging to break through $3,385.
This is because once ETH reaches this value, some holders may decide to sell. If this happens, the price of Ethereum may drop below $3,300 and even go as low as $3,233.

WisdomTree Europe Launches XRP ETP
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.
