Since the start of this bull market, the price performance of Ethereum has been relatively lukewarm compared to Bitcoin, which inevitably makes people feel a little regretful. Bitcoin has boldly exceeded its historical peak, with an increase of more than 350%, while Ethereum appears to be steady but slightly sluggish, lacking significant market catalysts, and its gains appear relatively moderate amid the surge of Bitcoin.
However, market sentiment has quietly changed recently. The upcoming Ethereum spot ETF is like a spring breeze, which has aroused the market's infinite imagination: Is Ethereum about to shine even brighter? The launch of this ETF will undoubtedly fill a major gap in the existing publicly traded crypto funds and provide investors with another important choice. Looking back, the Bitcoin spot ETF was successfully approved and started trading at the beginning of the year. Now the addition of the Ethereum ETF will undoubtedly further broaden investors' horizons and open a new chapter in crypto asset investment.
It is worth noting that existing ETFs already hold over $50 billion in BTC, and the industry generally predicts that the ETH ETF is expected to attract up to $10 billion in capital inflows in the coming months. Behind this figure is the market's high hopes and unlimited potential for the ETH ETF.
At the same time, the Ethereum ecosystem is also quietly undergoing profound changes. With the ETH ETF being approved soon, the amount of Ethereum staked is approaching its historical peak. This trend, while controlling the circulation, has also triggered a new round of discussions in the market about the inflationary nature of Ethereum and its value storage function. Julio Moreno, head of research at CryptoQuant, pointed out in the report that the total amount of ETH staked is currently approaching 33.3 million, accounting for about 27.7% of its total supply. This ratio highlights the key role of the staking mechanism in regulating market supply and demand.

However, the continued growth in Ethereum's supply has also raised concerns about its inflationary nature, which has to some extent weakened its appeal as a long-term value storage tool. Moreno bluntly pointed out that "ETH supply is growing again, although at a slower pace, but the narrative of supersonic currency is getting farther and farther away." This shift undoubtedly poses a challenge to investors who view Ethereum as a deflationary asset, especially after the implementation of the EIP-1559 proposal. Although the fee destruction mechanism is intended to alleviate inflationary pressure, the actual market reaction still needs time to observe.

In summary, the upcoming listing of the spot Ethereum ETF is not only an important milestone in the development of the cryptocurrency market, but also opens a new investment window for investors, which is expected to drive a new round of Ethereum price increases. At the same time, with the active participation of crypto-native hedge funds and the continuous emergence of new ETFs, the entire cryptocurrency market is entering a new era full of vitality and opportunities. We look forward to the arrival of this new chapter and believe that it will bring more prosperity and glory to the crypto world. #美联储何时降息？ #德国政府转移比特币 $1000SATS $PEPE $JTO
