๐๐ Buckle up, BTC enthusiasts! Coinbase, a popular crypto exchange, witnessed a whopping Ethereum outflow of over 336,000 ETH, valued at more than $1 billion on June 12th. This is the fifth time in 2024 that over 150,000 ETH has been withdrawn in a single day! ๐คฏ
Who's behind this massive fund transfer, you ask? ๐ค Well, it's still a mystery. But, according to CryptoQuant, these transactions ranging from $400 million to $1.1 billion are likely not the work of individual investors. We're probably looking at crypto whales or unidentified institutions here. ๐
Now, here's the exciting part! ๐ If these aren't just internal shuffles within the exchange, it could hint at a super positive long-term outlook for ETH, the world's largest altcoin. Similar activities were noticed on Coinbase before the trading of spot Bitcoin ETFs began, suggesting that this $1.17 billion withdrawal could be influenced by anticipation of a rise in Ether prices with the introduction of spot Ethereum ETFs. ๐
Speaking of Ethereum ETFs, they've been in the spotlight lately. ๐ With the SEC's approval, ETH-based investment products saw a substantial rebound last week, attracting $200 million in inflows. A K33 report suggests that spot Ethereum ETFs could potentially bring in about $4 billion in inflows within the first five months of their launch. Wow! ๐ฎ
And here's the cherry on top: K33 also hinted that Ethereum might experience a similar boost as Bitcoin did when spot Bitcoin ETFs sparked a more than 60% rally in its price. So, Ethereum ETFs could potentially help the altcoin outperform Bitcoin. Stay tuned for more updates! ๐๐
