Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs are also making waves, even though they aren’t even trading yet. According to Galaxy Research, once approved, Ether spot ETFs could see net inflows of up to $1 billion per month.

“We expect the net inflows into ETH ETFs to be 20-50% of the net inflows into BTC ETFs over the first five months, with 30% as our target, implying $1 billion/month of net inflows.”

Ether ETFs are anticipated to be highly sensitive to inflows due to the huge amount of ETH locked in staking, bridges, and smart contracts, coupled with the lower amount of ETH held on centralized exchanges.

However, Galaxy Research cautions that Ether ETF demand might be tempered by the lack of staking rewards. Additionally, outflows from the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) could create a challenge, with an estimated 319,000 ETH, or $1.1 billion, potentially going out each month.

Despite this, the impact on ETH prices is expected to be less severe than that on Bitcoin, primarily due to the absence of forced selling pressures from bankruptcy-related issues, which have plagued Bitcoin trusts.
