Over the past 24 hours, Franklin Templeton became the latest Wall Street firm to apply for an Ethereum spot ETF. However, the news has been particularly exciting since the institution wants to incorporate staking into the ETF, enabling investors to earn an additional yield. 
The innovative measure is a significant milestone for the crypto industry, displaying its ability to revamp the traditional financial system in real-time. 
The $1.5 trillion asset manager <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2011535/000113743924000573/fets1022024.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">submitted</a> the ETF filing on Feb. 12, 2024 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Should the application be approved, the ETF will be called the “FRANKLIN ETHEREUM ETF.”

Renowned ETF analyst James Seyffart <a href="https://x.com/JSeyff/status/1757142599016616334?s=20" target="_blank">posted</a> about the filing on X, noting that Franklin Templeton has joined the race and providing an updated list of current applicants and their deadlines. 
According to Seyffart’s data, the earliest deadline for an ETF approval is March 10, 2024.

Alongside the spot Ethereum ETF filing, broader market conditions have also benefited the second most valuable coin, with the total crypto market cap up 4.32% when writing, according to CoinGecko <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/global-charts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a>. 
The knock-on effect of these factors has buoyed ETH prices, lifting it above key resistance level.

In response, analysts are bullish, with Trading Joker <a href="https://x.com/TradingJoker/status/1754976274563346801?s=20" target="_blank">suggesting</a> this could mark the beginning of the Ethereum bull run. 
He then outlined additional catalysts that could contribute to the rally; these are spot ETFs, a rotation of liquidity from Solana to Ethereum, EigenLayer lowering the available supply of ETH, and Ethereum’s deflationary mechanism. 
The analyst thinks ETH can reach $19K by mid-2025.

Meanwhile, analyst Michael van de Poppe took a more micro outlook, <a href="https://x.com/CryptoMichNL/status/1757015676181442799?s=20" target="_blank">speculating</a> a breakout could send ETH toward $3.5K.
