Market analysts are divided on the potential success of ETH ETFs, with some predicting a lackluster response from investors. Despite expectations of an ETF launch by early July, doubts linger about whether ETH ETFs can attract the same demand as BTC ETFs. Data from Farside Investors shows that BTC-related products have seen significant net flows and assets under management since January, surpassing $14 billion and $50 billion respectively. However, analysts believe that ETH ETFs may only capture a fraction of this demand.
JPMorgan and Bloomberg analysts are pessimistic, projecting lower net inflows for ETH ETFs compared to BTC ETFs. On the other hand, some experts like Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan and K33 Research’s Vetle Lunde are bullish on ETH’s potential, estimating significant demand for ETH ETF products. Recent Options data and reports from Deribit Insights and QCP Capital suggest a positive outlook for ETH, with expectations of crossing $4K and even retesting its previous peak of $4.8K. Despite uncertainties surrounding ETH ETF reception, capturing a portion of Bitcoin ETF flows could drive ETH’s price higher.
