Ether's price could surge to $4,500 before the first spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) get official approval, according to Arthur Cheong, CEO of DeFiance Capital. The prediction follows the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of 19b-4 filings for eight spot Ether ETF issuers, including VanEck, BlackRock, and Fidelity. While this is a positive sign, ETF issuers still need approval for their S-1 filings, which could take months. Despite resistance at the $4,000 and $4,100 mark, a rally to $4,500 is feasible, and the ETF approval could drive Ether's price to $10,000, says Andrey Stoychev, head of prime brokerage at Nexo.
