Ethereum (ETH) has declined to $3,560, dropping 3.4% in the past 24 hours despite the anticipated launch of spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States. The lack of bullish momentum for ETH is being attributed to regulatory uncertainties and broader macroeconomic concerns, which have dampened investor sentiment.
Despite the potential for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve ETF filings from major firms like BlackRock, Fidelity, and VanEck this week, investors are hesitant. The lack of clarity on the timeline for individual S-1 fund filing approvals by the SEC has added to the uncertainty.
Beyond regulatory issues, the macroeconomic environment is also a concern for investors. The real estate market, both in the U.S. and globally, is showing signs of stress. Moody’s Ratings recently warned that at least six U.S. regional banks are at risk of having their debt ratings downgraded due to significant concentrations in commercial real estate, which is suffering from higher interest rates.
The bearish sentiment is evident in ETH futures metrics, which have reached their most pessimistic point in over three weeks. Data from Laevitas.ch reveals that the ETH futures premium dropped to 13% on June 10, down from 15% on June 6. While this is not outright bearish, it is the lowest level in over three weeks, indicating diminished confidence.
