 <p>The US SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission ) gave its approval for 11 spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) on Jan. 10, 2024. The SEC’s decision is a monumental milestone for the cryptocurrency industry. However, the community now sets its eyes on a spot Ethereum (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="ETH" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/eth.html">ETH</a>) ETF.</p>
 <p>According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, there is a 70% chance that the SEC will approve an Ethereum (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="ETH" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/eth.html">ETH</a>) ETF by May 2024. According to the analyst, ‘<strong>The Ether spot is tied to the hip of [the] Bitcoin spot for sure. It</strong>’<strong>s gonna go wherever it goes. It</strong>’<strong>s essentially on a 15-foot rope following it.</strong>‘</p>
 <p>Balchunas was previously cautious about a spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETF. However, the analyst has since changed his stance. Balchunas is optimistic about an ETH ETF and has a high approval chance.</p>

 <p>Following the SEC’s approval, the crypto markets began to rally. However, BTC is not leading the current surge. Altcoins are taking charge at the moment. Major altcoins are up double digits in the daily charts, while BTC has rallied less than 1%.</p>
 <p>A spot Ethereum (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="ETH" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/eth.html">ETH</a>) ETF and the recent spot BTC ETF could lead to a bull run for the crypto markets. In such a scenario, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="ETH" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/eth.html">ETH</a> could hit a new all-time high.</p>
