This reduction is part of a larger downturn affecting major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. Nevertheless, certain market analysts are optimistic, predicting a quick recovery for Ethereum.

Market volatility has not deterred analysts at QCP from identifying promising signs within the options market that point to a potential price <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/ethereums-dapp-volume-hits-71-13-billion-impact-of-nfts-and-staking-explained/">recovery for Ethereum</a>. These signs include a uptick in bullish bets, especially with the market looking forward to the approval of the first spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs). 
Active trading in options set to expire in September and December suggests that investor interest remains strong despite the recent declines. 
Options are financial instruments allowing buyers the right, but not the obligation, to purchase or sell an asset at a set price before the option’s expiration. The price for holding these options, known as the premium, can vary widely depending on current market conditions.

 An increase in the volume of call options indicates growing confidence among traders that Ethereum’s price will recover from recent lows and could even rise substantially.

QCP also notes the strategic placement of liquidation clusters for Bitcoin and Ethereum, key price levels at which many short positions might be liquidated. This scenario could trigger a short squeeze, potentially driving the price upwards as short-sellers buy back assets to cover their positions.

 Bitwise just filed amended S-1 for spot Eth.. which wasn't 'due' until July 8th. Prob just wanted to get it off their plate and from what I hear the last round of comments were 'literally nothing' = took zero time to update. Also, no fee yet.
