VanEck Advisor Sounds Alarm, Is Coinbase A Threat To Spot Ethereum ETFs?

August 5, 2024 By Crypto Reporter PR

Spot Ethereum ETFs have hit the market on July 23, and have drawn massive liquidity to the crypto market. However, VanEck’s advisor highlights significant risks with most Spot Ethereum ETF issuers – making Coinbase the custodian for these assets. This has raised concerns about the potential dangers of using a single custodian for most assets.

Despite this concern, the launch of the Spot Ethereum ETFs has sparked interest in the new platform ETFSwap (ETFS), and investors are picking early presale spots to capitalize on the potential growth of the new project.

VanEck Advisor Sees Problem With Coinbase As A Major ETF Custodian

VanEck advisor Gabor Gubacs highlighted potential risks with the widespread use of Coinbase as a custodian for Spot Ethereum ETFs. In some of the posts on X (formerly Twitter), he mentioned that Coinbase serves as the custodian for eight of the nine Spot Ethereum ETFs, which leads him to question the judgment of fund issuers who think it is an acceptable risk.

While he commends Coinbase’s impressive security team, he believes a single entity counterparty is an unacceptable risk. This is similar to the pattern on the Spot Bitcoin ETFs, with most issuers partnering with Coinbase as custodians. Presently, VanEck is the only Ethereum ETF issuer that chose Gemini as its custodian, setting itself apart from the crowd.

Dave Abners, principal at Dabner Capital Partners, also mentioned earlier in the year that there’s a concentration risk with most issuers using Coinbase as a custodian. He further states that a multi-custodian setup should be a requirement for issuers to protect against unforeseen problems.

Regardless of these concerns, Spot Ethereum ETFs hitting the market on Tuesday, July 23, have been the highlight of this week. However, the market price action of ETH is yet to follow this excitement. Nevertheless, Experts believe Spot Ethereum ETFs are set to drive over $16 billion in inflows in the first six months of trading.

Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $3,465 as of this writing, and the launch of Spot Ethereum ETFs should send the altcoin to a new all-time high, similar to the price pattern on Bitcoin (BTC) following the launch of Spot Bitcoin ETFs.

ETFSwap (ETFS) Set For Success As Spot Ethereum ETFs Prepare To Launch

ETFSwap (ETFS) exhibits early signs of success, with millions already raised on its ongoing presale. As such, early investors continue to seize the opportunity for massive profits at launch. The new DeFi platform aims to deliver the global ETF market on-chain, enabling decentralized access to trading and investing in ETFs.

The new platform will launch in the beta phase in a few weeks, and investors are excited about the prospect of early testing ahead of the main launch. ETFSwap (ETFS) aims to leverage the Ethereum network for enhanced transparency, security, and efficient trading services, inheriting the robust DeFi infrastructure on the blockchain.

With the growing popularity of crypto ETFs, ETFSwap (ETFS) enables investors to catch the next wave of investment with specific benefits over trading directly on centralized platforms. ETFSwap (ETFS) will allow quick settlements on ETFs, 24/7 permissionless trading, passive income from staking yields, access to liquidity, and many more.

ETFSwap (ETFS) is poised as a bridge between centralized and decentralized markets, combining the best of both worlds to improve its ETF offering. Moreover, the new ETF trading platform offers first-mover advantages, which has attracted the attention of investors looking to benefit from that potentially huge market share.

In other news, ETFSwap (ETFS) recently completed team KYC with SolidProof. This involves verification of project ownership and individual team identity and provides extra confidence for investors.

Conclusion

Despite the concerns for Spot Ethereum ETFs, crypto enthusiasts consider the launch a bullish event for the landscape and have picked positions on their favorite altcoins. Leading the charge to market gains is ETFSwap (ETFS), which has already raised over $4 million on presale.

Secure your early spot on the ETFSwap (ETFS) presale while it’s still selling as cheap as $0.01831. Book generational wealth before the presale price increases to $0.03846.
