Since early August, Ethereum ETFs have shown significant growth in investment inflows, outperforming Bitcoin in this metric.
Institutional Investor Interest
As of August 21, Ethereum ETFs have brought in $1.83 billion, while Bitcoin ETFs have attracted only $171 million. Just on Wednesday, nine Ether funds registered $310.3 million, whereas Bitcoin's 11 funds combined raised only $81.1 million.
Ethereum Market
Ethereum's price rose by 5% this week, compared to a 2.8% increase for Bitcoin. Ethereum supporter Anthony Sassano described the trend as 'brutal.' The rising demand has brought Ethereum ETFs close to $10 billion in flows in the last two months.
Investment Firms' Positions
According to SEC filings, investment advisers now hold the bulk of Ethereum ETF positions, with a total exposure of $1.3 billion, of which $712 million is attributed to Goldman Sachs.
Ethereum continues to strengthen its position as the asset of choice for institutional investors, even as Bitcoin maintains a larger market capitalization.
