In a recent interview, Bobby Zagotta, CEO of Bitstamp USA, discussed the potential impact of launching an Ethereum (ETH) spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) alongside the first Bitcoin (BTC) spot ETF in January. According to Zagotta, an earlier launch could have boosted the performance of the ETH spot ETF. "The market is currently in a holding pattern, with sideways trading in most assets. This is likely influenced by various factors, including the U.S. election, regulatory uncertainty, and social and political issues," Zagotta explained. "This has likely had an impact on the performance of the ETH futures ETF, and we believe it would have performed better if it had been launched alongside the Bitcoin futures ETF." Zagotta is optimistic about the future of the cryptocurrency market, particularly as the U.S. election approaches and the Federal Reserve provides more clarity on interest rates. He believes that the fourth quarter will bring positive momentum for the entire market, including altcoins like ETH.
