In 2024, net inflows into spot Ether ETFs were positive in 22 of the last 24 trading days, totaling over $2.5 billion. Analysts suggest that Ethereum could lead a Q1 rally in 2025, echoing strong performances from Q1 2017 and Q1 2021, where Ether surged by 518% and 161%, respectively. However, some experts caution that a hawkish macro climate might dampen this potential. Crypto hedge fund ZX Squared Capital anticipates inflows will dramatically increase in 2025, particularly with expected crypto-friendly regulations from a new Trump administration. Conversely, 10x Research founder Markus Thielen forecasts that Ether may underperform, lacking fuel to reach new all-time highs. Current market conditions have seen the crypto market cap decrease by 12.1% to $3.41 trillion after the Federal Reserve's recent policy adjustments. Bitcoin is currently trading at $93,492, while Ether stands at $3,997, down 30.3% from its peak in November 2021.
