As of the latest update, the <a href="https://coingape.com/price/ethereum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ETH price</a> has increased by 8%, reaching $3,704, accompanied by a market capitalization of $444 billion.

<p>Ether has recently captured the cryptocurrency spotlight with its most significant surge in over a month, driven by speculation surrounding the potential approval of applications for US exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for the token.</p> 
<p>Traders are closely monitoring the situation, anticipating a potential rally in Ether’s price if the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits <a href="https://coingape.com/spot-ethereum-etf-applicants-meet-sec-but-rejection-fear-remain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spot Ethereum ETFs</a> directly holding the token. Major investment firms like BlackRock Inc. and Fidelity Investments have submitted applications for such funds, but uncertainties persist regarding regulatory approval.</p> 
<p>Similarly, the SEC’s decision to approve spot Bitcoin portfolios depended on the correlation between CME Bitcoin futures and the digital asset’s price movements. This correlation was considered sufficient for detecting fraudulent activities and market manipulation.</p> 
<p>According to James Seyffart, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg, Defiance Investments has filed an application with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to introduce a 2x leveraged Ethereum futures ETF. This ETF could potentially commence trading as soon as late June.</p>
