Matrixport Reveals Ethereum ETF Launch Timeline, Bernstein Targets ETH To $6,600

With all eyes on a spot Ethereum ETF approval for listing and trading by the U.S. SEC, experts predict high odds of approval this month. Crypto financial services firm Matrixport believes the Securities and Exchange Commission might approve Ether ETF by this week as the deadline for issuers to submit amended S-1 filings is Monday.

Ethereum ETF Approval Likely This Week

In a new update on July 8, Matrixport reported that the SEC will likely approve Ether ETF this week. The United States will have an exchange-traded fund tracking the spot price of Ethereum.

Matrixport expects swift progress similar to May when the SEC suddenly asked spot Ethereum ETF issuers to revise their applications. After 19b-4 filings by issuers, the SEC instantly approved them in the next three days. The S-1 applications were probably delayed due to the July 4 holiday and the long weekend.

 

CoinGape reported that the SEC delayed Ethereum ETF launch with a few comments, pushing the S-1 deadline to July 8. ETFstore President Nate Geraci said the last round of S-1 revisions was quite “light” and believes Ethereum ETFs will start trading in the next two weeks.

BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, Hashdex, VanEck, and Invesco are anticipated to submit S-1 filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

ETH Price To Witness Massive Rally?

Matrixport predicts a recovery in Ethereum price to $3,400 after the approval by SEC. The company forecasting a nearly 12% sharp jump based on analysis that ETH price rallied 20% after the SEC approved 19-b filings.

Whereas, $725 billion asset manager Bernstein earlier gave a long-term ETH price target of $6,600. The firm reported that ETH will reach this price after spot Ethereum ETFs approval by the SEC. Notably, the estimate is based on a 75% rally in Bitcoin products in January following weeks of ETFs approval. Bernstein analysts expect a similar price action for Ethereum.

ETH price rose 2% in the past 24 hours, with the price currently trading at $3,068. The 24-hour low and high are $2,826 and $3,090, respectively. Furthermore, the trading volume has increased further by 57% in the last 24 hours, indicating a rise in interest among traders.
