According to Charmaine Tam of Hex Trust, Ethereum's recent outperformance against Bitcoin, with ETH up nearly 40% over three months per CoinMarketCap, signals rising capital flows into altcoins like Pendle and Bittensor, driven by institutional demand for ETH ETFs attracting over $1.25 billion. Concurrently, Israeli airstrikes on Iran caused BTC and ETH prices to drop sharply, as reported by CoinDesk, with BTC falling to $103.3K and ETH to $2,694. Singapore's Monetary Authority (MAS) has mandated licensing for offshore crypto firms by June 30, a regulatory shift potentially linked to failures of Three Arrows Capital and Terraform Labs, according to CoinDesk, impacting exchanges like Bitget and Bybit.

According to Crypto Rover, this is the worst moment to flip bearish on Ethereum (ETH), highlighting that current market dynamics do not support a downturn for ETH at this stage (source: Crypto Rover on Twitter, June 22, 2025). Traders should take note of strong on-chain activity, increased ETH staking, and positive momentum following recent ETF news, all of which suggest sustained bullish pressure. Technical indicators continue to show support above key levels, making short positions riskier in the near term. This trading insight implies that hasty bearish moves could result in missed upside potential or losses as the broader crypto market remains robust.

According to Lookonchain, Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs reported a net inflow of 2,761 BTC (approximately $288.98 million) on June 19, with iShares (BlackRock) accounting for 2,681 BTC ($280.56 million) of that total. iShares now holds 683,018 BTC valued at $71.48 billion. Ethereum (ETH) ETFs also saw positive net flows, gaining 2,413 ETH ($6.08 million), while iShares (BlackRock) led with 6,053 ETH ($15.25 million) in inflows. These robust ETF inflows indicate heightened institutional demand, suggesting a bullish short-term outlook for both BTC and ETH prices and increased market liquidity.

According to Farside Investors (@FarsideUK), Ethereum ETF net inflows reached $25.3 million on June 6, 2025, with ETHA contributing $15.9 million and ETH adding $9.4 million, while other ETFs such as FETH, ETHW, CETH, ETHV, QETH, EZET, and ETHE reported zero inflows. This significant influx signals growing institutional interest in Ethereum exposure. Traders should monitor these ETF inflows as they often precede increased market liquidity and volatility in ETH spot and derivatives markets. Source: Farside Investors Twitter, June 7, 2025.

According to Crypto Rover, the U.S. SEC is questioning the legality of proposed Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) ETFs, highlighting concerns over staking mechanisms and their classification under U.S. investment law (source: Crypto Rover on Twitter, June 2, 2025). This development introduces significant regulatory uncertainty for ETH and SOL ETF approval timelines, which could increase volatility and pressure on both tokens’ spot prices. Traders should closely monitor SEC communications as further scrutiny may delay institutional inflows and affect broader crypto market sentiment.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), Canary Capital has submitted an application for a TRX spot ETF on April 19, marking TRX as the 13th cryptocurrency to file for a spot ETF following the approval of BTC and ETH ETFs. This indicates an ongoing trend of altcoin ETF applications sparked by the approval of Ethereum's ETF last May. Currently, several cryptocurrencies like SOL, XRP, LTC, and ADA are also in the race for spot ETF approvals.

According to Crypto Rover, the SEC has acknowledged filings that would permit staking for both Fidelity and Franklin spot ETH ETFs. This development is seen as a significant win for ETH holders, potentially leading to increased demand and price appreciation for ETH.

According to CryptoMichNL, there has been a positive inflow in the ETH ETF for the first time in two weeks. Although it was a regular trading day with some inflow, ETH gained 4% against Bitcoin on that day. This kind of performance is desirable for future trading days.

According to @CCData_io, today's key stories in the cryptocurrency market include the SEC suing Consensys over MetaMask's unregistered offers and sales of securities, the IRS easing concerns with updated crypto broker reporting guidelines, and the delay of the Spot ETH ETF launch due to SEC scrutiny.
