Ethereum ETFs have significantly surpassed Bitcoin funds this week, with over $1.8 billion in net inflows compared to just $70 million for Bitcoin funds. This surge in Ethereum interest can be attributed to recent legislative developments, such as the signing of the GENIUS Act stablecoin bill, which is expected to benefit Ethereum as a major platform for stablecoin transactions. The increase in demand has been reflected in the performance of Ethereum ETFs like BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust, which recently reached $10 billion in assets under management in just 251 days, making it the third-fastest ETF to hit that milestone. The prolonged interest in Ethereum comes after a period of underperformance relative to Bitcoin and is reinforced by investors’ tendencies to buy assets post-price increases. Experts believe that while Ethereum is currently attracting more investment, Bitcoin ETFs may regain traction later in the year as major financial platforms begin offering them. In the meantime, Ethereum’s price remains robust, experiencing significant gains over the past month.
