There is one extremely important thing about Ethereum that if approved by the SEC, the price of ETH will definitely enter a completely different story — that is the allowance for ETF funds to have the right to stake ETH.
You all know, the essence of an ETF is to gather real ETH to hold, but currently, ETF funds are still not allowed to stake this ETH. Meanwhile, out there, the biggest benefit of holding ETH is the ability to stake it on platforms like Lido (LDO), Eigenlayer (EIGEN), Rocket Pool (RPL)... to receive steady returns.
So, this is the biggest reason why ETH ETFs are currently not truly attracting the cash flow of American investors — who are extremely pragmatic and want the money they hold to yield maximum profits.
But if one day, the regulations are relaxed — ETH ETFs are allowed to stake and generate passive income? Then the situation will be very different!
Personally, I believe that this is just a matter of time. The SEC may not approve today, but that doesn’t mean they will never approve. The important thing is when? And when will the "big players" really want to push ETH to become the center of attention — even creating waves, creating FOMO like SOL has done.
Ethereum has many ways to do this. They just haven't done it yet because the time isn't right.
As for my belief in ETH? It has never changed. And I am still here, patiently waiting for the real big story to begin...
