Ethereum ETF Show Promise Despite Grayscale Outflows: Bloomberg Analyst
Ethereum-based Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) have recently made their debut on major stock exchanges. As these ETFs complete their first few days of trading, early data and expert analysis are providing insights into their performance and potential impact on the broader crypto investment landscape.
Mixed Performance Across Ethereum ETF Offerings & Prospects
Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas has reported that while Ethereum ETFs are not performing as strongly as Bitcoin ETFs in offsetting Grayscale’s outflows, they are still showing healthy inflows and trading volumes.
The Grayscale Ether ETF (ETHE) has seen significant outflows, with over $346 million leaving the fund on Thursday alone. This has resulted in a total decrease of more than $1.5 billion in assets under management (AUM) for ETHE over the first three days, bringing its total AUM to $7.5 billion.
However, other spot Ethereum ETFs are showing positive momentum. BlackRock’s Ether ETF (ETHA) recorded inflows of $72.9 million, while Fidelity’s FETH saw $34.3 million in new investments. In a notable development, the Bitwise Ether ETF (ETHW) celebrated its listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on Thursday, attracting $17 million in inflows.
These mixed results suggest that while the Ethereum ETF market is facing some challenges, particularly with Grayscale’s outflows, there are signs of growing interest and investment in other Ethereum-based ETF products as well as long term prospects.
Balchunas noted that the intensity of unlocking for Grayscale’s Ethereum ETF (ETHE) is expected to be less severe than previously anticipated. This comes as the spot Ethereum ETF market experiences its third day of trading.

Ethereum Options Market Signals Optimism
In the broader Ethereum market, data from derivatives platform Deribit shows that a total of 499,811.00 Ethereum options are set to expire today with a notional value of $1.622 billion and a max pain point of $3,300.
The put-call ratio stands at 0.46, indicating a strong dominance of purchase (call) options over sell (put) options. This ratio highlights that traders prefer purchasing options instead of selling them, suggesting broader market optimism in the Ethereum ecosystem.
As the Ethereum ETF market continues to evolve, investors and analysts will be closely watching these trends to gauge the long-term viability and impact of these new investment products on the cryptocurrency market as a whole.
Ethereum price reached $3,265.99 as of today marking a 3.07% increase over the past 24 hours. The 24-hour trading volume for Ethereum has been substantial, amounting to $18 billion. Ethereum has been trading within a range of $3,275.82 to $3,176.13 during the past 24 hours, reflecting its volatile nature. Despite this volatility, the cryptocurrency’s live market cap stands at an impressive $392.6 billion.

The Ethereum price has surged more than 7% recently, with recent indicators hinting towards a potential ETH rally to $10K ahead. Notably, the recent surge also indicates a bullish momentum for the crypto ahead. So, here we explore some of the top indicators that could propel an ETH price surge ahead.
5 Indicators To Watch For Ethereum Price Rally Ahead
A recent X post from top on-chain analytics platform IntoTheBlock highlighted that Ethereum often follows Bitcoin’s rallies. While mixed signals exist, certain metrics suggest optimism. The platform noted that whales continue accumulating ETH, indicating confidence in the asset’s long-term growth. Increased transaction volumes and minimal selling pressure from holders are also contributing to Ethereum’s positive outlook.
In addition, one critical indicator is daily transactions, which recently rose to 1.22 million from 1.1 million three months ago. This slight uptick reflects growing network activity and rising demand for Ethereum.
Another key metric is large holder netflow, which tracks the buying activity of whales. When whales accumulate, it reduces sell-side pressure and supports price appreciation. Short-term holder behavior also warrants attention.
Meanwhile, increased activity among short-term investors often aligns with heightened retail interest. The holding time of transacted coins is another bullish sign. A steady hold time suggests that long-term investors are retaining their assets, keeping supply constrained as demand grows.
Lastly, exchange flows reveal sentiment trends. Significant outflows from exchanges typically indicate accumulation, signaling confidence among investors.
ETH Rally To $10K Imminent?
ETH price today was up nearly 8% and exchanged hands at $3,343, while its one-day trading volume rocketed 61% to $45.19 billion. In addition, Ethereum Futures Open Interest also rose more than 13%, indicating a strong market confidence towards the crypto.
Amid this, a top crypto market expert predicts ETH price to hit $10K in the coming days, sparking market speculations. However, despite that, a recent Ethereum price analysis hints that the top altcoin should soar past the $4K mark, before its further rally.
Having said that, a flurry of crypto market experts anticipates the crypto to continue its rally in the coming days. In addition, as BTC hits a new ATH recently, the market pundits expect the altcoins to follow suit, especially amid soaring optimism towards a clear regulatory path after Donald Trump’s election win.

Ripple SEC Lawsuit: The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) hinted at “digital asset securities” claims amid the appeal in the Second Circuit Court. The move comes as XRP price surpassed $1 and expected a rally to $2 on Gary Gensler’s resignation and the end of XRP lawsuit during Donald Trump’s presidency.
US SEC Hints At Digital Asset Securities Claims In Ripple Lawsuit
In a PLI’s 56th Annual Institute speech last week, SEC Chair Gary Gensler reiterated “Bitcoin is not a security.” He also cleared the intention to continue considering XRP as security as he didn’t mention it along with “Bitcoin, ether, and stablecoins.”
“Our focus, rather, has been on some of the 10,000 or so other digital assets, many of which courts have ruled were offered or sold as securities. Putting this in context, aside from bitcoin, ether, and stablecoins, the rest of this market approximates $600 billion.”
Crypto lawyer James Murphy, also known as MetaLawMan slammed the US SEC for using the term “digital asset securities” again in an X post on Wednesday. Gensler and the SEC disregarded the court’s order on XRP security status in the Ripple SEC Lawsuit. This indicates that the agency failed to comply with its recent apology for using the term “crypto asset securities” in lawsuits.
Here we go again “digital asset securities.”
Unbelievable. https://t.co/vqCbEJ9PNh— MetaLawMan (@MetaLawMan) November 20, 2024
The regulator appealed the summary judgment on XRP sales by Ripple, XRP distribution to employees and others by the company, and XRP sales on exchanges by CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Executive Chairman Chris Larsen. However, the recent crypto narratives amid President-elect Trump has sparked speculation of the end of SEC v Ripple lawsuit.
Will XRP Lawsuit Get Dismissed?
The crypto community called for the dismissal of the long-running Ripple SEC lawsuit and resignation of SEC Chair Gary Gensler. Also, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said he is expecting a resolution or end of the SEC lawsuit after Trump’s win.
Ripple CTO David Schwartz cleared that the company is legally obligated to Ripple shareholders and not XRP holders. While Ripple can work around legal clarity around XRP and digital assets, the prices of digital assets don’t depend on the efforts of the company. Schwartz and lawyers assert XRP lawsuit will likely get dismissed or settled with $125 million.
Meanwhile, lawyer Bill Morgan asserted that the price of XRP is not influenced by Ripple’s efforts as seen by long-term investors. Notably, Gensler’s hint at resignation and the potential end of Ripple SEC lawsuit triggered an XRP price rally to $1.
XRP Price Rally to $2
XRP price is currently holding at 0.702 Fib retracement level. Any strong upside momentum can trigger the next move to the $1.6–$2. The strong sentiment in the XRP community and Trump’s crypto policies will maintain bullishness in the crypto market.
Popular analyst CredibleCrypto suggests XRP will probably going to make new ATH “a lot quicker than most are expecting.” XRP/ETH just reclaimed and retested a 4-year long-range in the monthly chart, which signals a 250% higher target. He predicted a target of $2.
XRP price jumped over 1% in the past 24 hours and 60% in a week, with the price currently trading at $1.13. The 24-hour low and high are $1.07 and $1.15, respectively. Furthermore, the trading volume has increased by 7% in the last 24 hours, indicating a rise in interest among traders.

Amid a highly bullish DOGE market witnessed recently, Dogecoin whales’ action to heavily accumulate the token has garnered significant attention among traders and investors globally. On-chain data indicates over 500 million coins were bought from crypto exchanges, signaling increased market confidence in the asset’s long-term prospects. In the wake of this market statistic amid a bull market, crypto watchers anticipate a staggering 9000% gain in the dog-themed coin’s price ahead.
Dogecoin Whale Accumulation Spikes As Over 500M Coins Bought Recently
As per an X post by the renowned crypto market analyst Ali Martinez on November 21, Dogecoin whales bagged over 550 million tokens, worth $214.5 million, from crypto exchanges over the past week. This massive purchase has put significant buying pressure on the asset, pointing out the potential for considerable upside movement ahead.
Notably, the leading dog-themed meme crypto already surfs bullish tides, primarily attributable to the broader market events. Mainly, with Elon Musk’s taking the D.O.G.E. (Department of Government Efficiency) role under Donald Trump’s cabinet, market sentiments surrounding the meme coin have turned highly bullish.
Aligning with this endeavor, a recent CoinGape Media report reveals that D.O.G.E leads Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy further outlined a strategy to reduce the federal workforce under Trump’s presidency. This saga garnered significant attention to the meme coin which is also much touted by Musk. It’s noteworthy that Elon and Vivek are also starting a podcast named “dogecast.” These chronicles, in turn, bring substantial attention to Dogecoin.
Simultaneously, in light of these broader events and the massive buying pressure brought by whales, market watchers foresee a phenomenal rally ahead.
DOGE To Soar 9000% Ahead?
At press time, DOGE price gained slightly by 0.5% intraday and is resting at $0.387, amid a surge in Dogecoin whale activity. The coin’s 24-hour low and high were $0.3666 and $0.3956, respectively. Notably, the monthly chart for the meme coin showcases gains worth 173%. This bullish movement has sparked further investor curiosity despite the recent turbulent performance.
Notably, leading crypto analyst Ali Martinez further spotlights that for DOGE to finally witness a 9,000% parabolic rally, 40% to 50% corrections are sure to be expected. This bullish projection rides the back of historical trends, as the meme coin witnessed a 9,470% pump in 2017 with two major corrections of 40% and another at 84%. In addition, recent on-chain data also indicates a potential rally for top meme coins like DOGE, SHIB, and others, in the coming days.
Subsequently, the coin skyrocketed 30,700% in 2021, seeing two key pullbacks of 46% and 53%. These statements indicate substantial potential for Dogecoin to pump ahead in the light of a broader bull meme coin market, further accompanied by massive whale accumulations.
