FTX Exploiter Transfers Ethereum
According to on chain data from Spotonchain, the FTX exploiter had activated his address for the first time after several months. The wallet currently holds as many as $16.75 million ETH tokens. In two spells of token transfers, the exploitered transferred 2,500 ETH worth $4 million each, the data showed. Such token transfers are usually associated with selloff activity, a move that could negatively impact the price for the small investors. Will the ETH price take a bullish trend soon with the launch of the various Ethereum ETFs in the United States?
Ethereum ETF Launch
Another catalyst to the ETH price could be the launch of Ethereum based ETF from various firms on October 2, 2023. If things go as expected with the SEC following a US government shutdown, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may give an accelerated approval to the launch of as many as nine ETF products on October 2.
Meanwhile, the risk of a US government shutdown may likely trigger a Bitcoin BTC price owing to the adverse impact on the banking industry.
