Ethereum’s price exhibited volatility on Tuesday, coinciding with the launch of U.S. spot ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on Wall Street. At around 5 a.m. EDT, ETH surged to an intraday high of $3,540 per coin but later dropped to approximately $3,406 by 12:55 p.m. in the afternoon.

Ether’s Bearish Sentiment Dominates Trading Day Amid ETF Rollout
Ethereum trading remained tepid, aside from a brief spike above the $3,500 range and increased buying volume during the early morning sessions. ETH’s 24-hour spot trading volume is around $22 billion, ranking third after USDT and BTC on Tuesday. The intraday high of $3,540 per coin, recorded on Bitstamp, occurred at about 5 a.m, hours before the ether ETFs launched.
With a price of $3,406 per unit at 12:55 p.m., ether was down 3.78% from its earlier peak. The second-largest crypto asset by market capitalization decreased by 1.2% today and 0.9% over the past week. However, ETH has experienced a 12% increase against the U.S. dollar in the last two weeks. On Tuesday, ETH’s top seven trading pairs included USDT, FDUSD, USD, USDC, BTC, KRW, and EUR. Currently, in South Korea, ETH commands a $48.84 premium compared to the local average, indicating a 1.41% higher cost on South Korean exchanges.
Ethereum’s trading performance on Tuesday underscored a lack of market enthusiasm despite the ETF launch. The brief early morning spike to $3,540 quickly dissipated, and the subsequent drop highlights bearish sentiment. The absence of significant bullish momentum suggests that the ETF listings have, at least so far, failed to generate the anticipated positive market impact, leaving ETH’s price action notably stagnant and uninspiring.
