  • Analyst ups odds of spot ETH ETF approval to 75%
  • ETH rose over $590; 19% increase in the past 24 hours
  • Market surges on ETF approval speculation

Anticipation surrounding the potential approval of a spot ETH Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) in the US has intensified after a Bloomberg ETF analyst significantly increased his estimate of the likelihood.

Eric Balchunas, who previously assigned a low 25% chance of approval , now sees a significantly higher probability of 75%. In a social media post , Balchunas cited growing political pressure as a potential factor influencing the SEC decision-making.

“James Seyffart and I are increasing our odds of spot Ether ETF approval to 75% (up from 25%), hearing chatter this afternoon that SEC could be doing a 180 on this (increasingly political issue), so now everyone scrambling (like us everyone else assumed they’d be denied).”

As shown by Velo data , Balchunas’ statement sparked a surge in the price of ETH, which rose over $590, resulting in a $70 billion increase in market capitalization. This is Ether’s largest single-day increase in market value in history. 

According to CoinMarketCap data , the price of ETH was $3,680 at the time of publishing, indicating a 19% increase in the past 24 hours.

Additionally, James Seyffart, another Bloomberg analyst, stated on X that a number of sources have confirmed the increased chances of spot ETH ETF approval . The sources revealed that “a bunch of filings” will be seen in the near future.However, it’s important to note that even if the SEC approves VanEck’s 19b-4 filing , a separate green light would still be required for the S-1 filing, which is a crucial step for bringing Ethereum ETFs to market.
