Will Spot Ethereum ETFs Succeed Like Bitcoin ETFs?
After giving the go-ahead for a spot Bitcoin ETF in January, the SEC has cleared the launch of a spot Ethereum ETF, though it's unclear when they will begin trading.
However, analysts are not convinced that spot Ethereum ETFs will attract as much investment as the offerings for Bitcoin ETF.
Head of Derivatives at Bitfinex Jag Kuner believes , that if ETH ETFs started trading now, they could capture about a fifth of the investment flow now going into spot Bitcoin ETFs
Cooner also emphasized the importance of the SEC's decision on staking for the future of the Ethereum ETF. He said: “Market estimates indicate that spot ETH ETFs can capture between 10-20% of spot BTC ETF flows. However, the approval or rejection of the staking will be crucial. Adding staking to ETFs could dramatically change the structure of Ethereum.”

He even compared the effect of the spot ETH ETF on futures trading to that of the first spot gold ETF.
He thinks it's not impossible for spot ETH ETFs to change the entire market just like gold ETFs did.
In short, although all Ethereum ETFs are primed for launch, their success will ultimately depend most on regulatory choices and market factors.
