Ethereum (ETH) saw a rapid 3% increase in price, reaching $1,650 on September 28, following a hint from Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas that the SEC could approve an Ethereum Futures ETF on Friday. This news triggered an influx of capital in ETH Derivatives markets, with investors adding $450 million in inflows to the ETH Futures market in anticipation of the approval. The aggregate ETH Open Interest stood at $4.16 billion on September 27 and jumped to $4.51 billion within 24 hours of the news. Open Interest is a bullish signal, indicating an influx of new market participants and fresh capital inflows.
Furthermore, the bullish sentiment has also spread to the spot markets, as on-chain data showed investors piling up orders in the spot markets. Bulls have placed active orders to buy 500,000 ETH, which is significantly higher than the 433,670 ETH currently up for sale. The market demand for Ethereum has outstripped supply by over 66,330 ETH, indicating increased confidence among retail market participants. Based on these key data points, analysts predict that ETH price could potentially rally toward $2,500 if the ETF approval triggers the anticipated spot market reaction.
