Even if the United States Securities and Exchange Commission<\/a> (SEC) has given spot Ether<\/strong> exchange-traded funds<\/a> (ETF) negative odds, some analysts believe there is still potential for surprise.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf by some chance the SEC decides to approve, then so many will be caught severely offside,\u201d<\/em> bitcoin trader Matthew Hyland wrote in a May 17 post to his 142,000 X followers.<\/p>\n

“Who will actually be selling if 90% of people think the Ether ETF<\/strong> will be denied and most of those people think it will cause a crypto crash?”<\/em> “Priced in,” he said, is the expectation of denial. CoinMarketCap statistics show that Ether<\/strong> is trading at $3,136 at the time of publication.<\/p>\n

Crypto prediction site Polymarket reports that while the larger crypto community has set their forecasts closer to the 7% mark, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas has set his probability for approval at 35%.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is room for surprise to the upside on this decision,\u201d<\/em> says David Han, an institutional research analyst at the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase.<\/p>\n

Han said in Coinbase’s May 15 monthly outlook report, “We believe the odds of approval are closer to 30\u201340%.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Han said that the SEC will be less likely to stick to its denial judgment as cryptocurrency becomes a bigger concern for voters in the run-up to the November US presidential election.<\/p>\n

“It’s also less certain in our view that the SEC would be willing to front the political capital necessary to support a denial as cryptocurrency begins to take shape as an election issue,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

Han further contended that there is a good chance that litigation might reverse the judgment even if the VanEck and ARK Invest ETF applications are rejected before the original deadline of May 23.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
