This increase in net outflows occurs while the cryptocurrency market is doing rather well GOOD thanks to the interest rate cut initiated by the Federal Reserve (Fed). This last one had a positive impact on the price of Ether (ETH), up about 11% over the last 7 days.

The mismatch between ETH price dynamics and Ethereum spot ETF flows suggests investors remain uncertain about the cryptocurrency's long-term growth prospects.

Ethereum spot ETFs eclipsed in favor of Bitcoin spot ETFs?

Several analysts have offered their explanations for this discrepancy. One of them, Peter Chung, research director at Presto Labs, claims that investors from traditional finance have difficulty understanding the interest of investing in Ethereum while for them, Bitcoin (BTC) seems to do the trick :

Investors from traditional finance

may not react as enthusiastically to ETH's investment opportunities as they do to BTC's.. The paradigm of investing in gold as a hedge against inflation is well known. Therefore, it is not difficult for traditional finance investors to get used to the idea that digital gold is associated with Bitcoin. […] Even if they manage to reconcile, their level of conviction will need to be high enough to justify adding a second exposure to a digital asset after a BTC ETF.
