According to Alex Kuptsikevich, a senior analyst at FxPro, the long-term reason for the ETH pump is the activity of ETH developers, but by the end of 2023, this trend will shift towards BTC as the prospects for ETF become more prominent. The launch of the ETH ETF has not attracted buying interest similar to BTC ETF, but has instead led to net outflows and failed to reverse the downward trend in the ETH/BTC exchange rate, which may further fall into the range of 0.02-0.03.
BlockBeats news, on September 16, FxPro senior analyst Alex Kuptsikevich said, "Long-term, the activity of Ethereum developers, whether in the blockchain itself or its expanding ecosystem, is the reason for the pump of ETH. However, by the end of 2023, this trend shifted to BTC, with the increasing prominence of ETF in the exchange. It is important to note that the launch of ETH ETF did not attract buying interest similar to BTC ETF, but led to net outflows, and also did not reverse the declining trend of ETH/BTC Exchange Rate. The ETH/BTC Exchange Rate may further fall into the 0.02-0.03 range. Considering the overall positive sentiment of investors towards alts in the months after the BTCHalving, and the higher beta coefficient of alts with the US stock market, this situation is surprising, given the strong performance of the US stock market in recent months."
