Bitcoin ETF Approval Likelihood
The likelihood of an Ethereum ETF approval is discussed, with insights suggesting a decreasing probability for May. This trend is attributed to a lack of direct engagement between applicants and the SEC, as seen in previous successful Bitcoin ETF filings. The expectation of engagement in late April would signal increased chances of approval. The probability is estimated over 50% by year-end, with considerations for allowing time to digest the Bitcoin ETF before launching the Ethereum ETF.
