Ethereum Surges as Spot ETFs Trading Starts in U.S.
Ethereum (ETH) witnessed a significant price surge just hours before the launch of trading for spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S.
The trading for Grayscale’s Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) and its latest offering, Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH), has kicked off on NYSE Arca. Trading for other spot Ethereum ETFs, such as BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), is slated to begin when Nasdaq opens for trade.
The price of ETH spiked from $3,450 to $3,541 within an hour during European trading hours following the announcement from Grayscale about the commencement of trading for its two spot Ethereum ETFs.
