QCP: Spot Ether ETFs May Be a Market Catalyst

In a column for The Scoop co-authored by Frank Chaparro, Director of Special Projects at The Block, and Laura Vidiella of MNNC Group, QCP says we need a catalyst to get things moving again. The strong launch of the Spot Ether ETF could be such a catalyst, with a strong backlash that would increase liquidity and potentially surprise the market with a move to the upside.

Additionally, some believe that if Trump wins the U.S. election in November, markets could rally and enter a massive bull cycle. Currently, the derivatives market is reflecting this temporary pessimism, with the inverted term structure showing higher implied volatility in short-term options than longer-term options, suggesting excessive bearish sentiment.
