The post ETH Price Could Crash Despite Spot Ethereum ETFs Euphoria, Analyst Explains Why appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
With the Spot Ethereum ETFs expected to begin trading on Tuesday, July 23, expectations for the ETH price have shot up drastically. Numerous analysts and market experts have come forward to predict that it would be a great development for the ETH price, pushing it to new all-time highs.

However, recently, with activity falling to new lows on the Ethereum network, the supply has turned inflationary as there isn’t enough transaction fees being burned to outpace new supply. More specifically, the crypto expert revealed that the supply had gone up by 60,000 ETH in just one month.
