Sentiment in the crypto community suggests traders are positioning themselves for an eventual ether-focused product ā€“ which could be the first time professional investors in the U.S. gain spot exposure to the blockchainā€™s token without having to own it.

Lidoā€™s LDO and RocketPoolā€™s RPL gained as much as 17% before retreating. Both protocols allow users to stake ether on their platforms and earn around 4.5% in annualized staking rewards.

Elsewhere, tokens of layer 2 networks such as Mantleā€™s MNT and Optimismā€™s OP gained as much as 9%. These networks are built atop Ethereum but operate as independent blockchains, allowing users to transact cheaply and much faster than the main blockchain.

But some stated that select tokens could gain in the coming days. "Tokens in the ETH ecosystem like LIDO, ENS, and MKR experienced sharp up moves which should continue to take the attention away from BTC as traders now must position for the possibility of an ETH ETF," said Jack Tan co-founder of crypto exchange WOO X, in a Telegram message.

"The main idea is that ETH, being the second largest cryptocurrency, would have the highest probability of being the next ETF after BTC,ā€ Martin Lee, analyst at on-chain data firm Nansen, told CoinDesk in a Telegram message.
