⚠️ Here's Why Ethereum ETF Could Be Denied According to James Seyffart, one of the leading ETF analysts, it is increasingly likely that the US Securities and Exchange Commission is going to deny a slew of Ethereum ETF applications this May by claiming that the underlying cryptocurrency is a security. “Not a guarantee that they will do this but I think this almost guarantees that the SEC is at least considering it,” Seyffart added. This came after finance lawyer Scott Johnsson opined that Ethereum’s legal status was likely to appear in the agency’s upcoming ETF order. According to Johnson, the SEC is supposed to provide a "notice of the grounds for disapproval under consideration". The SEC claims that it was improper to offer commodity-based trusts shares since the underlying asset is a security. Notably, this wasn’t an issue that Bitcoin ETFs had to deal with. After months of kicking the can down the road, the SEC is supposed to make its final decision regarding VanEck and ARK's Ethereum ETF filings on May 23 and May 24, respectively. The industry consensus appears to be that these applications will be shot down by the SEC due the lack of engagement with issuers. However, it remains unclear what will be the exact reason behind this rejection. According to Bitwise's Matt Hougan, Ethereum ETF products will be rejected due to insufficient data. Apart from VanEck and Ark Invest, several other big players, including BlackRock and Fidelity, are vying to launch a spot Ethereum ETF. Grayscale, which scored a big legal victory against the SEC last year, recently withdrew its “Trojan horse” Ethereum futures filing. This indicates that it does not intend to pursue another lawsuit against the agency. The SEC has faced a lawsuit from Ethereum backer ConsenSys over its attempts to label the leading altcoin as a security. However, BlackRock’s Larry Fink recently stated that such a designation wouldn’t necessarily prevent them from launching an Ether ETF. $ETH #ETH #ETF

⚠️ Shiba Inu Metrics Turn Bullish: Here’s How Many Wallets Stand Between Current Price And $0.000139 Shiba Inu is exhibiting interesting price action as it looks to break above a downward-sloping upper trendline under which it has been trading since the first week of March. Currently, SHIB is up by 10% in the past seven days and is at a decisive junction of a breakout that could lead to a strong bullish action. Failure to exhibit a strong breakout could lead to a reversal into bearish action.  However, although SHIB is looking prime for a breakout, data shows there are still multiple resistance levels to overcome. Particularly, on-chain data from IntoTheBlock (ITB) reveals multiple walls of addresses between the current price and $0.000139. 🔸 Shiba Inu Looking To Break Above $0.0001 At the time of writing, SHIB is trading at $0.00002494. Recent price action in the past 24 hours indicates that the bulls are now looking to push the cryptocurrency above the $0.000025 price level. This indicates that many investors are still bullish on SHIB. According to data from ITB, around 62,700 addresses purchased 69.97 trillion SHIB at this point at an average price of $0.000025. Although SHIB will eventually break through, there are still five resistance walls to overcome on its way to reaching a new all-time high. These price walls consist of a range of addresses that could initiate selloffs immediately after breaking even. Interestingly, there are around 454,160 addresses holding over between the current price of Shiba Inu and the current all-time high of $0.00008845. The first major resistance is at an average price of $0.000028, where 98,230 addresses are holding around 40.17 trillion SHIB tokens. This range of addresses bought in at a maximum price of $0.00003 and SHIB would need to break above this price point before the next resistance. After surpassing this maximum price, Shiba Inu would be facing another resistance at around $0.000033 where 143,280 addresses are holding 21.3 trillion SHIB tokens. $SHIB #SHIB #Shibainu

🐋 Whale Buys Signal Arbitrum’s Edge Recent whale acquisitions in the Arbitrum network suggest increased confidence in its long-term potential over Polygon. Data from Arbiscan on May 17 shows a significant purchase of 4.17 million ARB, contributing to a total of $6.15 million since July 2023. This buying activity indicates a robust interest in Arbitrum, contrasting with Polygon, which has seen less frequent large-scale investments. 🔸 What Drives Whale Investments? Such substantial purchases usually reflect strong faith in a token’s performance over time. Despite the recent downturns—29.23% for MATIC and 40.86% for ARB—whales seem more inclined towards Arbitrum. This trend could signal a shift if accumulation persists, potentially causing Polygon to lag behind. 🔸 How Does Network Growth Compare? Analyzing network growth metrics, Arbitrum shows a significant lead with 1,526 new addresses transacting, compared to Polygon’s 225. This disparity highlights a higher preference for ARB among market participants, which could drive further price increases if the accumulation trend continues. 🔸 Strategic Insights – Track whale purchase patterns to gauge market confidence in tokens. – Monitor network growth metrics to identify potential outperformers. – Consider accumulation trends as indicators of future price movements. 🔸 Can Arbitrum’s Market Cap Triple? While Arbitrum’s market cap is currently $2.72 billion, significantly lower than Polygon’s $7.12 billion, it remains to be seen if ARB can reach the required price of $3.50 to match Polygon’s market cap. Given the current dynamics, this would also depend on MATIC staying below $1. In conclusion, sustained whale activity and network growth could bolster Arbitrum’s market position, but significant challenges remain in matching Polygon’s market cap. The next few months will be crucial in determining the outcome of this competition. $ARB #ARB #Arbitrum

📈 Bitcoin Price Climbs Past $67,000 Bitcoin‘s price has remained above $67,000 as we enter the third Sunday of May, providing a bullish outlook for altcoins in the week ahead. If Bitcoin continues to hold its current range, altcoins could reclaim key support levels and potentially reach new all-time highs. 🔸 Bitcoin’s Promising Outlook The past week has been highly optimistic for cryptocurrencies after a prolonged period of uncertainty. Despite the high Producer Price Index (PPI) data, April’s low inflation report in the United States has given risk markets a much-needed boost. The fear of additional interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve has subsided, allowing markets to breathe easier. Until the next Fed meeting on June 12, all eyes will be on employment and other economic indicators. 🔸 Impact of Market Data Weakening labor data and the recent wage growth numbers have further supported risk markets. With inflation data showing a gradual decline over the past few months, the probability of the Fed continuing to tighten monetary policy and keep rates high for an extended period is significantly reduced. Additionally, data from the spot Bitcoin ETF market has been favorable for Bitcoin this week. There have been more inflows than outflows in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), pushing the total ETF value over $12.4 billion. A resurgence of substantial inflows to IBIT and FBTC could replicate the rapid price increase last seen until mid-March. 🔸 Altcoins Performance In recent days, LINK Coin has posted the most significant gains among major altcoins, becoming the second-highest gainer among the top 100 cryptocurrencies with a 22% increase. Fantom (FTM) leads the pack, approaching the $1 mark with a nearly 30% weekly gain. Meme coins like BNOK and FLOKI are also targeting new highs as they reclaim crucial levels. SOL Coin has also rebounded above $174, potentially testing the $205 resistance level again. Despite their high market values, altcoins like BNB and SOL have been striving for new all-time highs. $BTC $LINK $SOL #BTC

⚡️ The Big Day for the Cryptocurrency Market is Just 4 Days Away: Two Analysts Explain Their Views The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will make an important decision on the approval of Ethereum ETFs within the next week. However, according to Ric Edelman, President of the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals, the lack of a comprehensive regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies could lead to a negative outcome. Edelman, a famous investor and personal finance writer, expects another delay in the decision. “I think there will be another delay, which obviously isn't all bad news,” he said in an interview on CNBC's “ETF Edge” this week. However, the SEC will have two options, either an approval or a rejection, in its decision on May 23. But a rejection also ultimately means a postponement. 💬 “Without any police on their heads, it forces investors to go on their own outside of the investment advisory community because the community can't help them because we don't know what the rules are,” Edelman said. And they find themselves involved in fraud and fraud.” said. Edelman also criticized SEC Chairman Gary Gensler's refusal to write regulation, stating that it “actually hurts the consumer rather than helps.” Meanwhile, Bitwise Asset Management's Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan is also defending the new rules. Hougan argued that “80-year-old securities laws do not fit neatly into this world of digital assets, crypto and 21st century technology.” Hougan believes that everyone wants a safe and secure platform where investors are protected and innovation is assured. Bitwise has its own filing for a spot ethereum ETF, and Hougan remains hopeful that it will arrive. “We've entered the ETF era for crypto. We've seen Bitcoin ETFs come to market. We've seen the great things they've done for investors, lowering costs, improving regulations, increasing safety, security and peace of mind. I think we'll achieve that on Ethereum as well,” he concluded. $BTC #BTC #ETF
