More bitcoin investment products are now feasible according to the United States Exchange Authority’s (SEC) recent approval of an Ethereum ETF. This decision was expected when a Bitcoin ETF was approved earlier this year, even though many people were taken aback by it.
Other cryptocurrency investment products will be approved after the establishment of an Ethereum ETF, according to TD Cowen’s Washington Research Group. We’re going to see exchange-traded funds (ETFs) covering a “basket of crypto tokens” soon, maybe including Ethereum and Bitcoin.
However, the approval of an Ethereum ETF does not always change the SEC’s position on cryptocurrencies in general. The SEC will monitor and control the cryptocurrency industry to protect investors.
The recent approval of an Ether spot ETF further solidifies Ether’s status as a non-security. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart said that the approval of these commodity-based trust shares implies that the SEC is explicitly recognizing Ether as not a security.
Seyffart projects a 20%–25% increase in demand for spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) following its debut. Based on Ether’s current market capitalization of approximately 30% of Bitcoin’s $1.4 trillion market capitalization, he made his projection.
Seyffart also mentioned that Eric Balchunas, a colleague, predicts that 15% to 20% of people will be interested in the new cryptocurrency ETF. Though not quite as thrilling as the Bitcoin ETF debut, Seyffart predicts that the Ether ETF launch will be a significant occasion.

Long-term crypto investing looks increasingly promising as more and more cryptocurrency-related ETFs gain support. With markets becoming more controlled and secure, investors have a wider choice of options for investing in crypto assets.
