Current report
Since the Trust’s launch on July 23, 2024, Ethereum has been pressured by broader risk-off moves and generally lackluster ETP demand. The U.S. equity market sell-off to end July, reignited hard landing concerns in the U.S., the Chinese economic overhang, and rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East all played a role, though the start of the Federal Reserve’s easing cycle in September 2024 was a positive catalyst. Another influencing factor was market expectations for a potential second term as president by former President Trump, especially prior to Vice President Harris joining the presidential race in August. In this respect, former President Trump was generally viewed as more “pro-crypto” and could potentially seek relaxed regulations and more innovation-focused projects.
