The report pointed out that when the SEC asked exchanges to update their 19b-4 application documents on May 20, the probability of Ethereum ETF approval jumped from 25% to 75%. In the following 7 days, the number of open contracts for ETH futures increased by 500,000, and the total amount rose from US$8.8 billion to US$13 billion. The price of ETH also rose from US$3,065 to a high of US$3,959. Analysts reminded investors to pay attention to the short-term market fluctuations that may occur after the listing of ETH ETF.
