Ethereum

<p>The Ethereum price is up 2% in the past 24 hours to trade for $3,747 as of 01:34 a.m. EST.</p>
<p>It comes amid anticipation of a possible approval of spot ETH ETFs (exchange-traded funds) by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Optimism <a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/ethereum-name-service-ethena-and-eth-meme-coins-pepe-and-floki-among-big-winners-as-eth-etf-odds-improve" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">accelerated</a> after Bloomberg ETF analysts increased the odds of approval to 75%, from 25% previously.</p>
<p>A Polymarket contract put the odds of approval at above 61% on May 21 and those <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/ethereum-etf-approved-by-may-31?tid=1716286511283" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">odds</a> have since improved to 69%.</p>
<p>CoinDesk reported that exchanges that would list and trade ETH ETFS were suddenly asked by the SEC’s division of trading and markets to update their filings. This development hinted at the regulator possibly preparing to approve applications ahead of Thursday, when it’s expected to decide on an application to launch an Ethereum ETF by fund manager VanEck.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, reports indicate that five prospective spot ETH ETF issuers have already submitted amended filings. These are Fidelity, VanEck, Invesco/Galaxy, Ark/21Shares, and Franklin, who submitted their amended 19b-4s to the SEC on Tuesday.</p>

<p>Fidelity removed all words related to staking and staking rewards in its amended filing. ETF specialist Eric Balchunas from Bloomberg Intelligence says Fidelity’s amendment is a sign that the SEC will not allow the staking of assets within spot ETH ETFs if approved.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">Looks like you got a final answer as to whether SEC will allow staking: No. As this is first amendment of any document to roll in post-SEC 180 and their comments to issuers yesterday. <a href="https://t.co/HUUYQHtxsh" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://t.co/HUUYQHtxsh</a></p>

<h2 id="possible-eth-etf-approvals-amid-speculation-of-political-pressure">Possible ETH ETF Approvals Amid Speculation Of Political Pressure</h2>
<p>There is speculation that the SEC’s change of stance could be because of political pressure. After a more pro-crypto speech by presidential aspirant Donald Trump recently, some say President Joe Biden is trying to tilt the balance in his favor by getting ahead of an ETH ETF approval.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

 <p>"It is a completely unprecedented situation, which means it's entirely political,"</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Nevertheless, the President of ETF Store, Nate Geraci, thinks otherwise.</p>
<p>“Heavy lifting was already done via the approval process for ETH futures ETF and spot Bitcoin ETFs,” he said.</p>

<h2 id="ethereum-price-prediction">Ethereum Price Prediction</h2>
<p>The Ethereum price is trading with a bullish bias, trying to extend gains after the Monday god candle. The market is leaning in favor of a further upside, despite resistance due to the trendline of the Fibonacci retracement indicator.</p>
<p>With the Relative Strength Index (RSI) still inclined north, buyer momentum is still rising and the Ethereum price could extend the climb. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is also well above its signal line. This typically signifies a bullish momentum in the ETH price movement.</p>
<p>It also points to a solid uptrend given the short-term moving average is higher than the long-term moving average. Increased buying pressure above current levels could see the Ethereum price reclaim the $4,076 range high. This level was last tested on March 11 and stands nearly 10% above current levels.</p>

<p>On the other hand, considering the position of the RSI above the mean level of 70, ETH is already massively overbought. This often precipitates a correction. If this happens, the Ethereum price could provide another buying opportunity around the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of $3,596.</p>
<p>However, if the downtrend extends below the 50% Fibonacci placeholder of $3,449, the bullish thesis would be invalidated.</p>
<p>While the Ethereum price moves higher, a growing number of investors are diversifying their portfolios with a <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/categories/depin" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DePIN alternative</a> called eTukTuk (TUK). Jacob Bury, a prominent crypto analyst on YouTube, has expressed optimism in the project, suggesting that $TUK could potentially surge 10x after launch.</p>

<p>eTukTuk is set to deliver its product to developing nations first, starting with Sri Lanka, and then to other countries worldwide. The platform will build the charging infrastructure of tomorrow and power it with blockchain.</p>
