Skepticism Amidst Launch
In a candid conversation with X Hall of Fame, Patrick Scott expressed his scepticism regarding the immediate impact of Ethereum ETFs on Ether’s price. Unlike Bitcoin, which saw its value nearly doubled following the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January, Ethereum may not enjoy the same rapid growth.
“Bitcoin had the novelty factor; it was not only the first cryptocurrency but also the first to have an ETF, investors who were previously crypto-averse suddenly found themselves with an accessible avenue into the market.”

However, Scott questions whether these investors will show equal enthusiasm for Ethereum. “It’s about whether those who bought into Bitcoin will diversify into Ethereum,” he said.
The DeFi Influence
Scott’s rise to fame on X is a testament to his ability to connect with his audience through relatable content and practical advice. His initial intent to help his father navigate DeFi has now transformed into guiding thousands through the complex world of cryptocurrency.
As the market awaits the impact of Ethereum ETFs, investors are left to ponder if this is indeed a new era for crypto or if the opportunity has already passed with Bitcoin’s first-mover advantage.
Opportunity in Retrospect
In the latest Ethereum news, the test for Ethereum ETFs will be a market reaction. Scott suggests that only a significant price dip prior to the launch could create an opportunity comparable to Bitcoin’s ETF-induced rally. As Ethereum ETFs begin trading, investors are watching closely, ready to capitalize on any potential golden opportunities that may arise.
