Whales Buy 720 Billion Pepe Coin As PEPE Price Rally Over 100%
Whales have been accumulating Pepe Coin for over a month that led to PEPE price hitting new all-time highs daily. As per IntoTheBlock data, wallet addresses with over $100K have increased their Pepe Coin holdings in the last few days and 100% of PEPE holders are currently in profit.
PEPE price hit an all-time high of $0.00001156 today and CoinGape recommended buying Pepe Coin when it was trading at $0.000007079 almost a month ago.
Whales Continue to Accumulate Pepe Coin
On-chain platform Lookonchain reported a whale purchased 520 billion Pepe Coin on May 15, speculating further upside movement in PEPE price. The whale withdrew PEPE worth $5.28 million from crypto exchange Binance.
The whale is not a trader and has held investments in tokens for a long time. He bought a total of 10 tokens and never sold them. Lookonchain added that the whale has a net loss of $6.1 million and only 5 tokens are profitable, with a win rate of 50%.
In addition, a wallet address related to BlockTower Capital purchased 202 billion worth $2.2 million via crypto trading firm Cumberland. Meanwhile, BlockTower Capital’s main hedge fund has been compromised and partially drained by fraudsters.

As we proceed into July, the biggest question for the crypto community is when will the spot Ethereum ETF go live for trading. Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, predicts the Ethereum ETFs to go live by the 15th of July.
Geraci stated that with the revised S-1 submission for Ethereum ETFs to happen in July, the final S-1 approval from the SEC could arrive around July 12. Thus, July 15, Monday, would be the most probable day to begin trading Ether ETFs.
Wen spot eth ETF?
BBG sticking w/ mid-July.
Amended S-1s due July 8th.
Potential final S-1s by July 12th.
Would theoretically mean launch week of July 15th.

Issuers to Address SEC Query On Spot Ethereum ETF
Last Friday, the US SEC returned the S-1 filings to issuers to address some minor questions. Sources familiar with the matter stated that the issuers have been already working on it. As we know, in May, the SEC approved the 19b-4 filings to list the Ether ETFs on exchanges. However, they can only go live for trading after the SEC approves the S-1 submissions.
Steve Kurz, head of asset management at Galaxy Digital, expected the Ether ETF approval in the next couple of weeks. Speaking to Bloomberg TV on Tuesday, July 2, Kurtz said:
“This is window-dressing, the SEC is engaged. We’ve been doing this for months now. We did it for the Bitcoin ETF, the products are substantially similar — we know the plumbing, we know the process.”
Now the bigger question in everyone’s mind is will the Ether ETF prove to be a strong catalyst to drive the crypto market higher?

Ethereum to Outperform Bitcoin
On Tuesday, K33 Research published a report stating that Ethereum would be outperforming Bitcoin post the ETF approval. As per K33, the launch of Ether ETfs would absorb nearly 0.75% to 1% of all ETH in circulation within the initial five months. This expectation is in line with that of Gemini which predicted $5 billion inflows within the first six months of launch. K33 senior analyst Vetle Lunde said:
“ETFs are a solid catalyst for relative ETH strength as the summer progresses and flows accumulate, and I firmly view current ETH/BTC prices as a bargain for the patient trader.”
The ETH/BTC ratio steadily declined from 0.056 after the Bitcoin ETFs launched, reaching 0.046 by May 24. However, unexpected news that the SEC would soon approve Ethereum ETFs boosted the ratio back up to 0.055.

The crypto market fluctuations continue to dominate the market while assets like Toncoin and Cardano move away from bearish sentiments. In the past week, most top assets traded sideways after exits recorded by institutional investors in the market. The status quo saw Bitcoin (BTC) price hovering around $61,000 before attempts at a rebound.
Toncoin and Cardano have shown promise ahead of the market outpacing top crypto assets by market capitalization. At press time, the market cap slumped 1.42% to $2.29 trillion with Bitcoin and Ethereum posting 24-hour losses. Major drivers of TON and ADA prices are bullish on-chain factors and key industry developments.
Toncoin Leads Asset Gainers
Toncoin soared 4.5% in the last 24 hours, leaving the wider market in the dust and adding to its recovery numbers. In the last seven days, TON moved up 8% wiping out previous losses. While most monthly numbers dropped for most assets, TON continued to soar hitting 22%. The asset flipped Dogecoin to become the 8th largest crypto by market cap inching closer to a new all-time high.
TON price stands at $8.05 taking its market cap to $19.8 billion while volumes are up 57% today. Last month, Toncoin tapped a new all-time high at $8.24 and remains 2.37% behind the mark. With rising bullish interest, some users expect the asset to break that level.
Toncoin recorded traction as Kazakhstan exchanges began trading the asset following regulatory approval. Similarly, Pantera Capital also increased its investment in Toncoin.
Cardano Attracts Growth
The community dubbed ETH killer jumped 3.5% to trade at $0.418 pushing its market capitalization to $14.9 billion. Weekly numbers were up 6% while daily trading volumes saw a slight increase. Overall, ADA’s recent bullish following anticipated network upgrades and a rise in on-chain volumes. The asset is tipped by bulls to breach the current resistance level despite market fluctuations.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may soon approve the first American Ethereum ETFs. Asset managers remain hopeful for a decision by mid-July, even as the deadline for updated submissions has been extended to July 8. This development could mark a significant milestone following the enthusiastic reception of the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year.
SEC Nears Approval for First US Ethereum ETFs
The SEC’s recent interactions with Ethereum ETFs applicants suggest a constructive dialogue, with the latest round of feedback involving only minor queries. In May, the commission had already approved an exchange proposal to list these products, signaling forward momentum. However, actual trading cannot commence without a separate, subsequent approval.
Financial giants like BlackRock Inc., Fidelity Investments, 21Shares, and Invesco are among those awaiting the green light for their Ethereum ETFs. While many details, such as fund fees, remain undisclosed, the anticipation builds on whether these Ether portfolios will mirror the demand seen in January when U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $52 billion in assets.

YieldMax Seeks SEC Nod for Ether ETF
YieldMax has recently joined other firms seeking SEC approval for an innovative Ether-based product. Their proposed Ether Option Income Strategy ETF, intended for listing on the NYSE Arca, employs a synthetic covered call strategy designed to capitalize on the volatility of underlying Spot Ethereum ETFs. This approach aims to generate profits and provide additional income and risk management for investors through the sale of call options.
Meanwhile, firms like Franklin Templeton and VanEck have already disclosed their ETF fees, which are competitively set at 0.19% and 0.20%, respectively. This transparency could set a precedent for others in the sector, aligning with investor expectations for clear and upfront cost structures.
As the SEC review process continues, the market response has been mixed. Ethereum price has recently declined, dropping about 1.48% to $3,411.87, although it has risen by 50% this year. The cryptocurrency sector’s volatility remains critical for potential investors and regulatory bodies.
