These transfers have sparked speculation about the potential impact of upcoming decisions by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding Ethereum-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

The five transfers from Coinbase Institutional, ranging from 5,925 to 6,229 ETH each and valued between $22 million and $23.2 million, were sent to previously unknown wallets. This suggests that institutional investors may be positioning themselves to capitalize on the potential approval of Ethereum ETFs, which would provide mainstream investors with a new way to gain exposure to the second-largest crypto.

The SEC is set to approve or deny the VanEck Ethereum ETF (VETH) by 10 pm EST today and the ARK Invest Ethereum ETF (AETH) by May 24th.
