Bitcoin and Ethereum Braced for a $4.2 Trillion ETF Price Bombshell

The cryptocurrency market is on the cusp of a major breakthrough, with Bitcoin and Ethereum prices surging to new heights. The Bitcoin price has rocketed back over $70,000 per Bitcoin, coming within touching distance of its all-time high, while Ethereum has surged around 20% to almost $4,000 per Ether.

Cryptocurrency prices on the rise

This sudden rally comes as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has requested an urgent update from those who had filed to issue spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Analysts predict that imminent approval could trigger a $4.2 trillion price earthquake.

The SEC’s decision could have a significant impact on the cryptocurrency market

Influential ETF analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas of Bloomberg Intelligence have upped their odds of eventual approval to 75% from 25% previously. This sudden shift in sentiment has been taken as a sign that the SEC could approve a spot Ethereum ETF sooner than thought, potentially even this week.

The odds of spot Ethereum ETF approval by May 31 on Polymarket, a prediction market, have surged from 13% to 73%. This sudden change in sentiment has sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency market, with many investors betting big on a major price surge.

Trends in the cryptocurrency market

As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, one thing is clear: the stakes have never been higher. With the SEC’s decision looming, investors are bracing themselves for a potential price bombshell that could send shockwaves through the entire market.

The future of cryptocurrency prices
