Ethereum ETFs Launch Amid Regulatory Hurdles and High Investor Interest

The debut of Ethereum exchange-traded funds marks a significant shift, though staking remains a contentious issue.

Nine Ethereum ETFs have launched with strong initial inflows despite regulatory restrictions on staking.
The SEC's stance on staking has led to the exclusion of this feature, impacting the ETFs' attractiveness.
Asset managers like BlackRock and Fidelity remain optimistic about future regulatory changes allowing staking.
The ETFs are expected to drive substantial institutional investment in Ethereum, potentially boosting its market value.
Analysts project Ethereum ETFs could attract up to $15 billion in net inflows by the end of 2025.
