In a remarkable shift, spot Ethereum ETFs brought in over $1.8 billion this week, significantly outpacing Bitcoin funds that only saw $70 million in inflows. This trend highlights a growing investor interest in Ethereum, spurred by developments such as the recent passage of the GENIUS Act stablecoin bill and the rise of Ethereum treasury companies. For over 16 consecutive days, Ethereum has attracted capital while Bitcoin faced net outflows on several occasions. Ric Edelman, founder of the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals, noted that investors are keen to diversify their portfolios and Ethereum stands out as the only other digital asset available in ETF format. BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust led the charge with a notable $1.29 billion in inflows, propelling it to become the third-fastest ETF to reach $10 billion in assets under management. While ETH funds are seeing substantial interest, experts suggest that Bitcoin ETFs may regain momentum later in the year once traditional financial institutions begin to offer them.
