A year after the start of the US Ethereum Spot ETFS: Review of a disappointing development and the stagnating ETH course

The introduction of Ethereum Spot ETFS: A year later

On July 24, 2024, the first Ethereum Spot ETFs started the trade in the USA. This market launch was of great importance for the cryptocurrency landscape, since it enables investors to invest in Ethereum without having to acquire the cryptocurrency directly. The time of approval by the Sec fell with an ETH course of around $ 1,800.

A year after this introduction, however, a mixed conclusion shows. Many investors were disappointed with the development of the ETH course and the performance of the ETFs in the course of the year. This disappointment is primarily due to the fact that Ethereum's course did not reach the expected heights and that the general market development had difficulties.

The approval of Ethereum Spot ETFS should have served as a catalyst for strong growth, but numerous external factors such as market volatility and regulatory uncertainties have been subdued. Investors who had hoped for more stable price development were confronted with fluctuating prices, which impaired the attractiveness of the ETFs.

In the ongoing discussion about cryptocurrencies and their regulation, it remains to be seen how the market will develop and whether new innovations and products can regain the trust of investors in the long term.
