Ethereum, the second-largest crypto by market capitalization, is seeing its network activity explode by 56% in just one week. This surge in interest coincides with the imminent launch of the first Ethereum ETFs, a potentially revolutionary milestone for the market. As investors hold their breath awaiting the SEC’s final decision, this uptick in activity may well signal a dramatic rise in ETH’s price.

A Surge in Activity Ahead of the ETF

Activity on the Ethereum network has recently reached impressive heights, marking a 56% increase in the number of active crypto addresses in just seven days. On June 17, 515,610 unique wallets were transacting on the Ethereum network. This trend remained relatively stable until June 21, when news of the Ethereum ETF S-1 filings by Blackrock and VanEck broke, triggering a significant spike. By the close of June 23, the number of active addresses had climbed to 806,500. And since then, it hasn’t dropped off.

Over the weekend, ETH’s price consolidated within a narrow range between $3,550 and $3,400, likely reflecting investor anticipation of forthcoming regulatory developments. Indeed, increased network activity is often perceived as a precursor to a major event. In this case, it suggests that crypto investors are positioning themselves in anticipation of the final approval of the Ethereum ETFs.

The Ethereum ETF Approval Process Advances Smoothly

At the Bloomberg Investment Summit, Gary Gensler expressed his confidence in the approval process for spot Ethereum ETFs, although he did not provide a specific timeline. He emphasized that the focus is currently on asset managers, who must make full disclosures for their registration statements to be effective. Gensler noted that despite the ongoing work, the process is proceeding smoothly.

Initially, the SEC chairman had suggested that spot Ethereum ETFs would launch this summer. However, some expert analysts believe the spot Ethereum ETFs will launch on July 2.

All in all, the anticipation surrounding the launch of Ethereum ETFs and the dramatic increase in network activity indicate growing interest in this crypto. Investors are on high alert, awaiting the SEC’s final decision, which could transform the market.
