Ethereum Crossed US$2.4K After ETF Application Amendement
Ethereum's native token Ether jumped above $2,400 Wednesday afternoon to a two-week high as asset managers Ark Invest and 21Shares
amended their joint spot ETH ETF filing. While Bitcoin is the largest
cryptocurrency, many in the industry argue that Ether has a distinct set of use cases that would make the cryptocurrency particularly useful to financial advisors.
A key roadblock to approving the vehicles is whether the agency considers ethereum to be a security, commodity, or something else entirely— a designation the SEC has so far avoided making officially. Nevertheless, ETH's price advanced nearly 2% within an hour from when the news appeared, breaking above $2,400 for the first time since January 22. The second-largest crypto by market cap was up 2.4% over the past 24 hours and outperformed the broader cryptocurrency market.
The total OI for both Bitcoin and Ethereum saw small increases. Same to 24H volume; the Long/Short ratio and Funding Rate indicates slightly bullish sentiment across
markets for the two biggest cryptocurrencies.
