Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have surged, attracting over $1.8 billion in net inflows this week, while Bitcoin funds drew only $70 million. This trend marks a significant moment, as interest in Ethereum has risen alongside the passing of a stablecoin bill, which is expected to benefit the cryptocurrency, known for being the leading platform for stablecoin transactions. BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust led the charge, becoming the third-fastest ETF to reach $10 billion in assets under management. Analysts suggest the growing inflow into Ethereum funds reflects a notable shift in investor behavior, as many are looking to diversify portfolios with Ethereum being the only other major digital asset available in ETF format. Despite Ethereum's recent price dip, it has seen over a 50% increase in value over the past month. Experts predict that while Ethereum may see continued momentum, Bitcoin funds are likely to regain popularity once major financial institutions begin offering these options later in the year, potentially leveling the playing field again.
