Ethereum Rises 20%, Futures Open Interest Hits Record $15B As ETF Approval Odds Jump To 75%
The open interest in Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) futures has reached an all-time high of $15.1 billion, reflecting a surge in investor interest. This spike is attributed to the growing optimism surrounding the potential approval of spot exchange-traded funds in the U.S.
以太坊（加密貨幣：ETH）期貨的未平倉合約已達到151億美元的歷史新高，反映了投資者興趣的激增。這種飆升歸因於人們對美國現貨交易所交易基金可能獲得批准的樂觀情緒日益增強。
What Happened: The notional open interest, which represents the dollar value locked in active ether futures contracts, has risen by 29.79% in the last 24 hours, as per data from Coinglass. The previous all-time high of $13.2 billion was reached on Mar. 15.
發生了什麼：根據Coinglass的數據，代表活躍以太幣期貨合約中鎖定的美元價值的名義未平倉合約在過去24小時內上漲了29.79％。此前的歷史新高132億美元是在3月15日達到的。
This surge comes amid a significant price increase in the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, which has seen an 18.06% rise to $3,659, according to the data from CoinMarketCap.
根據CoinMarketCap的數據，這種飆升是在按市值計算的第二大加密貨幣價格大幅上漲之際發生的，該價格已上漲18.06％，至3,659美元。
The recent bullish trend has been further reinforced by Bloomberg's ETF analysts, who have increased the likelihood of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approving spot ETH ETFs from 25% to 75%.
彭博社的ETF分析師進一步強化了最近的看漲趨勢，他們將美國證券交易委員會批准現貨ETHETF的可能性從25％增加到75％。
The SEC has also requested exchanges seeking to list and trade potential spot ether ETFs to expedite their 19b-4 filings, indicating a potential acceleration of the approval process.
美國證券交易委員會還要求尋求上市和交易潛在的現貨以太ETF的交易所加快其19b-4的申報，這表明批准程序可能會加速。
Why It Matters: The surge in Ethereum futures interest follows a series of events that have significantly impacted the crypto market. On Monday, the SEC's Trading and Markets Division instructed asset managers to revise their 19b-4 filings for the first U.S. ETFs holding Ethereum, leading to a surge in crypto prices.
爲何重要：以太坊期貨興趣的激增是在一系列對加密市場產生重大影響的事件之後發生的。週一，美國證券交易委員會交易和市場部指示資產管理公司修改首批持有以太坊的美國ETF的19b-4申報，導致加密貨幣價格飆升。
This shift in sentiment has led to speculation within the crypto community that the SEC may indeed approve a spot ETH ETF, signaling a broader positive regulatory stance towards crypto. The SEC is expected to make a decision on the VanEck spot ether ETF on May 23.
這種情緒的轉變導致加密社區內部猜測，美國證券交易委員會確實可能批准現貨ETH ETF，這表明對加密貨幣的更廣泛積極監管立場。預計美國證券交易委員會將於5月23日就VanEck現貨以太幣ETF做出決定。
These developments have had a significant impact on the market, with the Bitcoin Fear And Greed Index turning bullish and the SEC Chair Gary Gensler facing criticism for his stance on Ethereum as a security.
這些事態發展對市場產生了重大影響，比特幣恐懼與貪婪指數轉爲看漲，美國證券交易委員會主席加里·根斯勒因其將以太坊視爲證券的立場而受到批評。
Price Action: Ethereum is trading at $3,719.68, up 19.85% in the last 24 hours and 28.7% in the last 7 days.
價格走勢：以太坊的交易價格爲3,719.68美元，在過去24小時內上漲19.85％，在過去7天中上漲28.7％。
