Bracing for denial? ETH’s relative value to BTC has been walloped throughout the month of May. Why can’t Ether catch a bid, and what impact could the looming spot ETH ETF final decision next week have on your bags?

The likelihood of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approving a spot ETH ETF by the end of May has doubled from last week, rising from 7% to 14%, but this probability has steadily declined throughout 2024 and remains at dismal levels compared to the peak of 76% seen at the beginning of the year.
