<p>Ethereum (ETH), the leading layer one (L1) blockchain with over $32 billion in total value locked (TVL), has registered notable growth in the recent past, amid the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) frenzy. In the past five days, Ethereum’s price has surged more than 16 percent to reach a new two-year high of around $2,610 during the early Asian session on Thursday.</p>
<p>Following the 10 percent spike in the past 24 hours, Ethereum’s daily average trading volume has surpassed that of Bitcoin by a significant margin. According to the latest market data, Ethereum has an average trading volume of about $45 billion compared to $40 billion for the flagship coin.&nbsp;</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-spot-etf-frenzy">Spot ETF Frenzy</h3>
<p>The approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dramatically paved the way for mainstream adoption of web3 industry and digital assets. However, Ethereum stands to be the biggest winner, especially after BlackRock, the largest fund manager with nearly $10 trillion in Assets Under Management (AUM), filed for spot Ether ETF in November last year. Notably, the US SEC already approved the Ether futures ETP, thus making the approval rate of spot Ether ETF more likely in the near future.</p>
