Traders predict short-term volatility after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved nine spot Ethereum ETH/USD ETF applications for trading.
What Happened: Crypto trader Doctor Profit believes the market has already factored in the ETF launch without considering the massive inflows that could come in. If the same level of dollars flowing into Bitcoin BTC/USD ETF flows into ETH ETF, the impact on Ethereum price will be 209% greater compared to Bitcoin, according to the trader.
He also does not expect Ethereum to correct by 20% as Bitcoin did after its ETF launch.
The trader suggests not to be influenced by short-term price manipulation, especially from selling pressure from Grayscale outflows. He concludes, "Possible sideway with correction, first effects of ETH inflows will be seen 2-3 weeks after the launch from today."

Why It Matters: As spot Ethereum ETFs being trading, IntoTheBlock data shows large transaction volume surging by 145%, accompanied by a 45% increase in transactions greater than $100,000. Around 84% of Ethereum holders are currently making a profit and 5% are at breakeven.
Crypto trader Kevin sees around 75% price upside for Ethereum in the short term.
Crypto trader Kaleo predicts a high likelihood of some type of pullback after the spot ETFs launch but thinks "price discovery is inevitable."
Kaleo notes that while the market is early enough into the current bull market, shorting is a "greedy play if you’re giga-bullish on a higher time frame."
What’s Next: The influence of Ethereum as an institutional asset class is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
