In recent months, Ethereum (ETH) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tokens have shown remarkable performance. According to Grayscale Research, the recent approval of Ether exchange-traded products (ETPs) in the United States promises to significantly impact the market in the next quarter.
Grayscale’s market analysis expects these ETPs to begin trading in the third quarter of 2024, potentially providing significant support for Ethereum prices and tokens associated with its ecosystem.
Grayscale Research suggests that while the impact of Ether ETPs may be less than that of Bitcoin ETPs launched in January, it will still attract substantial net flows. The launch of these ETPs is also expected to highlight the unique features of the Ethereum network, such as its modular design approach and its vast decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
In addition, the approval of Ether ETPs is expected to boost adoption and activity around Layer 2 tokens such as Mantle, and major DeFi protocols such as Uniswap, Maker, and Aave. Other fundamental assets of the network, such as the Lido staking protocol, may also benefit.
While Ether ETPs are a significant development, Grayscale Research also highlights that other market trends will continue to be relevant. A focus will be on the potential intersection between blockchain technology and the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Tokens of AI, including RNDR, FET, and TAO, have shown promise, dominating discussions on social media and outperforming general market indices in terms of year-to-date price performance. If interest in AI tokens persists, they may bring positive results for their holders.
