Ethereum Network Could Benefit from a Spot Ether ETF, Says ETC Group Research Head
The recent approval of a spot bitcoin ETF by the SEC has sparked speculation about the possibility of a spot ether ETF in the near future. According to André Dragosch, Head of Research at ETC Group, if a spot ether ETF were to be approved, it would have a positive impact on the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap.
Dragosch also noted that the recent increase in ether circulating supply held in profit could help stabilize the token. He explained that when holders see their assets in profit, they are less likely to sell. However, weaker holders may still be inclined to take profits. Overall, this trend is supportive of an ongoing bull market.
