Analyst Opinions

"The trading volume of the spot Ethereum ETF ETHA on its second trading day is similar to the first day, even slightly increased. This is a good sign, as often there is a significant drop after the first day of hype." - Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg ETF Analyst

"The rebound of ETH before the ETF listing has peaked near $3600. Excluding delta-neutral capital flows, the actual net inflow of the ETF yesterday was negative, with about $4-5 billion of front-running and leveraged funds at risk of quick withdrawal. The ETH/BTC ratio may drop to 0.04 or lower; if it reaches that position, ETH will no longer be an attractive hedging tool." - Andrew Kang, Co-founder of Mechanism Capital

"After providing repayments to Mt.Gox creditors, Kraken's spot Bitcoin trading volume has performed normally, and there has been no selling from Mt.Gox creditors so far." - Ki Young Ju, Founder and CEO of CryptoQuant

"The best-performing sector last month was the digital currency sector, but the leader was not Bitcoin, but privacy coins and meme coins. Additionally, Solana was the only large-cap stock among the top 10 in the past month. The momentum in DeFi, dApps, and infrastructure sectors remains poor, but there are signs that altcoins are entering a cyclical low." - Jamie Coutts, Chief Crypto Analyst at Real Vision
