Ether Jumps 10% to $3.4K After Bloomberg Ups Odds of Spot ETF Approval
Already modestly higher during U.S. trading hours Monday, the price of ether (ETH) jumped more than 10% after two well-followed Bloomberg ETF analysts greatly upped their odds of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approving spot ETH ETFs.
“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),” tweeted Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas.
The SEC this week faces a number of final deadlines on the spot ETF approvals/denials after having delayed decisions on the funds a number of times.
Bitcoin (BTC) is adding to gains alongside ETH’s advance, now higher by more than 5% and just shy of the $70,000 mark.
