Investors’ eyes are fixed on spot Ethereum ETFs and how products could perform in the opening months after Bitcoin funds were hugely successful. 
On Tuesday, the first nine U.S. spot Ethereum (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ETH</a>) ETFs opened for trading on national exchanges following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) final greenlight.&nbsp;Wall Street players and retail investors can now access exposure to crypto’s second-largest decentralized token, ETH, via a regulated institutional wrapper.&nbsp; 
According to Bloomberg’s James Seyffart, the funds <a href="https://x.com/JSeyff/status/1815739982729900195" target="_blank" rel="">debuted</a> with nearly $10.3 billion in assets under management (AUM). Most of that money is domiciled in two Grayscale products, one of which is the long-standing Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE).&nbsp;

 Here are the starting asset levels for the Ethereum ETFs launching today. The whole complex starts trading with just shy of $10.3 billion (pretty much all from <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24ETHE&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="">$ETHE</a>'s assets) <a href="https://t.co/MAfjObFX4a" target="_blank" rel="">pic.twitter.com/MAfjObFX4a</a>— James Seyffart (@JSeyff) <a href="https://twitter.com/JSeyff/status/1815739982729900195?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="">July 23, 2024</a>

As titans like BlackRock, Fidelity, and VanEck jockey for dominance in the spot ETH ETF market, Alluvial CEO and co-founder Mara Schmiedt told crypto.news to anticipate over “$20 billion in the initial months post-launch”.&nbsp;

Capital flocking into spot Ethereum products will also likely catapult ETH’s price well above its previous peak of $4,878. As of writing, Ether changed hands for $3,400, about 28% below its all-time high (ATH).&nbsp; 
Schmiedt stated, “With roughly 38% of the current ETH supply locked in staking, bridges, and DeFi, and another 10% sitting on retail exchanges, ETF-driven ETH inflows could have a significant upward price impact.”

Alluvial’s CEO predicted that the forthcoming supply shock caused by Ether ETF buying, coupled with spot Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>) ETF success and growing demand for cryptocurrencies, paints a stronger bull thesis for the rest of this cycle.&nbsp; 
Staking was noticeably absent from trading spot Ethereum ETFs, but Schmiedt believes the development may present opportunities rather than problems.&nbsp; 
“An interesting and important difference between BTC and ETH is that staking on Ethereum introduces a native rate of return, currently around 3.3%, that may prove compelling to investors seeking fixed income-like alternatives to equities, enabling portfolio diversification and inflation hedging,” Schmiedt explained to crypto.news in a private note.&nbsp;
