Here's what to head on this week's investing in sight. The stock market is racking up records.

I'll talk with Morningstar Inc. Markets reporter Sarah Hanson about the four reasons why that's happening.

Plus, another cryptocurrency will venture into the mainstream. What you need to know

about spot ether ETFs before investing and all eyes on the Fed. Morningstar, senior U.S.

economist weighs in on the latest message from Fed Chair Jerome Powell. This is Investing Insights.

Welcome to Investing Insights. I'm your host, Ivana Hampton.

Let's get started a look at the Morning Star headlines. The market debut of Spot Ether ETFs remains unknown, despite clearing their biggest hurdle to trade. The Securities and Exchange

Commission made a surprise move. It approved proposals for the first spot ether ETFs in the U.S. last

month. It's the first cryptocurrency ETF to receive such approval since spot Bitcoin

ETFs burst onto the scene in January. Brian Armour is the director of

Passive Strategy's Research for North America for Morning Star Research Services. Armour says

Spot Ether ETFs will directly hold Ether. It's the cryptocurrency that supports the Ethereum

blockchain and the second largest crypto behind Bitcoin.

Spot Ether ETFs will be set up as grants or trusts like Spot Bitcoin ETFs.

That means investors will own a share of the Ether held by the trust.

Many of the asset managers of Spot Bitcoin ETFs are approved to offer Spot Ether ETFs. The list includes

Fidelity, I shares, and Arc21 shares. Unlike Bitcoin, holding Ether, directly could hold

a meaningful performance edge over Spot Ether ETFs for investors willing to engage in staking.

However, Ether is also highly volatile.
