The UK crypto market is set for a potential shake-up as U.S. regulators approach the likely approval of Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Standard Chartered Bank predicts a near 70% rise in ETH prices to $4,000 by May, and expects the UK market to be impacted by this significant development.
