Can the ETH-ETF Replicate the Success of the Bitcoin-ETF?

Bitcoin-ETFs have already demonstrated record-breaking capital inflows, amassing over $23 billion since the beginning of the year.
Bitcoin-ETFs have already demonstrated record-breaking capital inflows, amassing over $23 billion since the beginning of the year. They outpace all other ETF categories in terms of fund inflows and trading volume. This has led to a significant increase in the price of Bitcoin, reaching an all-time high of around $73,000 since the start of the year.

However, the situation with Ethereum ETFs differs from Bitcoin for several reasons:

The status of Ethereum – whether it is a commodity or a security – has yet to be determined. This creates uncertainty for investors and may limit growth opportunities.

ETF issuing companies have excluded the possibility of earning additional income through staking due to the uncertain regulatory status of Ethereum in the United States. This may make ETFs less attractive to investors compared to direct purchases.

Ethereum staking has its unique mechanisms, which can create the risk of asset concentration and network centralization. This could be an issue for the SEC regulator and investors.

In my opinion, Ethereum is significantly undervalued and has enormous growth potential. This growth may be slower than Bitcoin’s but will inevitably occur. However, we may face a situation where there is a mass profit-taking in the market, and Ethereum prices might drop temporarily. Overall, replicating the success is possible but on a different timeline.
