Wealth management firm Bernstein recently suggested ETH may be the only other cryptocurrency to secure an ETF spot in the United States.


“Ethereum with its staking yield dynamics, environmentally friendly design, and institutional utility to build new financial markets, is well positioned for mainstream institutional adoption,” analysts Gautam Chhugani and Mahika Sapra reportedly wrote in a note on Feb. 19.


Meanwhile, Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas forecasts a 70% chance of approval, suggesting a positive outlook for Ether ETFs amid regulatory delays.Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said he expects a 70% chance of an Ethereum spot ETF being approved in May.

The last time Ether traded above $3,000 was nearly 22 months ago, on May 4, 2022, when it reached a high of $2,966 before sinking into an extended bear market that took its price to $883 in June 2022.


ETH’s recent performance may also be connected to the network’s much-anticipated Dencun upgrade.


Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade, which is targeted for March 13, is expected to implement several EIPs, including EIP-4844, which introduces proto-danksharding. The upgrade simplifies the transaction process by storing some data off the blockchain, speeding up transactions and cutting costs.
