As the SEC reviews Grayscale’s Spot Ether ETF, the crypto community eagerly awaits the outcome, wondering if it will pave the way for Ethereum prices to break out above $2,000 and potentially reshape the digital asset landscape.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced that it will review Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust ETF filing once again. This news comes as BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust was recently listed on Nasdaq-traded ETFs maintained by DTCC. These developments have led to a significant increase in the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
The BTC Fear and Greed Index, which measures overall sentiment towards Bitcoin, is currently at 66, indicating a presence in the “Greed” territory. With Bitcoin reaching all-time high levels, many are curious to see what will happen in the cryptocurrency market leading up to Benzinga’s Future of Digital Assets conference in New York on November 14. This conference is seen as pivotal for the digital assets community and will highlight the latest trends, innovations, and challenges in the industry.
In terms of specific cryptocurrencies, Cardano, Ripple XRP, Polygon, and Solano have seen significant gains in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, Ethereum has experienced a surge in trading volume and market cap, with prices jumping by 9.6% in a single day. Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, has seen an increase of $57 million in his crypto portfolio over the past week.
The SEC has also acknowledged Grayscale’s spot ether ETF filing, which would convert Ethereum Trust (ETHE) into a spot Ethereum ETF. Grayscale Investments believes that this conversion would unlock over $1.6 billion of value.
Technical analysis suggests that Ethereum’s price has given a breakout above the $1,745 level, with indicators pointing to a rally continuation. If prices cross the $2,000 mark, it could be a significant turning point for the cryptocurrency.
In other news, a pre-mine Ethereum wallet that has been dormant for 8.2 years recently woke up. The wallet contains 2,000 Ether coins, currently valued at $3.2 million, which were moved to four different blockchain addresses.
Overall, the cryptocurrency market is experiencing significant movements and developments, with Bitcoin and Ethereum leading the way. The upcoming Benzinga conference and the SEC’s review of Grayscale’s ETF filings are expected to have a significant impact on the industry.
