Crypto analyst Dan Gamberdello commented on the Ethereum ETF approval and noted that the approval is bullish for altcoins. Gamberdello interprets the Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Ether ETF as Ethereum being considered a “commodity.”
Do you realize how bullish the Ethereum ETF is for altcoins?

SEC has basically just said ETH is a commodity.
This is huge for the SEC vs. Coinbase case.
ADA not a security
AVAX not a security
SOL not a security
Whales are likely approving these altcoins in response to the optimism from Ethereum ETF approval.
Analyst behind the X handle @CryptoYoddha notes that altcoins are getting ready to “show great pumps,” in the coming weeks. Yoddha believes Ethereum looks stronger and Bitcoin is losing its dominance, this setup is likely conducive for altcoin gains.
