Investment Advisers Buying Ether ETFs
Apart from retail investors, Investment advisers are the biggest buyers of Spot Ethereum ETFs, as per the latest data from Bloomberg Intelligence.
Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart reported on August 27 that investment advisers are now the main holders of Ether ETFs. They invested more than $1.3 billion, equal to 539,000 ETH, in Q2, which is a 68% increase from the previous quarter.
Vincent Liu, Chief Investment Officer at Kronos Research, stated that as more advisers embrace Bitcoin and Ether ETFs, cryptocurrencies are increasingly being positioned as a long-term diversification tool in traditional portfolios, alongside equities, bonds, and other mainstream assets.
As a result, Ether price has outpaced Bitcoin this week, climbing 5% from Tuesday’s low. On the other hand, Bitcoin gained just 2.8% over the same period.
The latest reports show that institutional ETH purchases have been on the rise, amid renewed confidence in the asset.
