The SEC approved spot Ethereum ETFs yesterday, following spot Bitcoin ETFs in January.
Although there are some concerns about the lack of staking feature in ETH ETFs, analysts predict that ETH and ETH-based altcoins will experience a major rise in the coming months.
In response to this rally expectation, whales and fresh wallets accelerated purchases in Ethereum-based altcoins.
According to Lookonchain's post, fresh whale wallets made large purchases in Lido DAO (LDO), Uniswap (UNI), AAVE, Chainlink (LINK) and ENS altcoins after the ETF approval.
Accordingly, 11 whales purchased approximately over 19 million dollars of altcoins from Binance during the day after the ETH ETF approval.
