Ethereum ETFs Outshine Bitcoin Funds Over Thanksgiving Week

As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen eye for market trends and a knack for spotting opportunities, I find myself intrigued by the recent shift in the U.S. market favoring Ethereum ETFs over Bitcoin ETFs. My journey in this digital frontier has taught me that such trends often signal significant changes in the landscape.


During Thanksgiving week, there was a surprising change in the U.S. market as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based on Ethereum surpassed those based on Bitcoin in terms of growth. Data from SoSoValue showed that between November 22 and November 27, nine Ether ETFs attracted investments worth $224.8 million, which was much more than the $32.2 million invested in 12 Bitcoin ETFs during the same period.

During this period, the market saw a simultaneous occurrence of differing price movements in the cryptocurrency sector. In contrast to Bitcoin’s 2.7% decrease over the last week, Ethereum experienced an increase of 5.3%. This upward trend seems to be connected with Ethereum’s partial court victory regarding Tornado Cash and positive speculation about regulatory changes that might occur under a hypothetical Trump administration.

Reports indicate that crypto supporter Paul Atkins, who served as an SEC commissioner previously, could potentially take over the current position of Chair Gary Gensler. This possibility stirs optimism among supporters for a more favorable regulatory landscape for Decentralized Finance (DeFi).

In contrast to this week’s dip, Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) have shone brilliantly in November, attracting a record-breaking $6.2 billion in investments—a monthly high. Interestingly, the largest influx of funds occurred between November 18 and 22, with a staggering $3.38 billion added as Bitcoin neared $99,645.

The growing popularity and success of Ethereum’s ETF demonstrates increasing investor trust, as the accumulated investments approach a significant figure of around $240.41 million. By November, the combined total value of assets held in Spot Ethereum ETFs amounted to an impressive $10.80 billion.

Over the last three days, the cumulative amount of money flowing into our system has reached approximately $133 million. On November 27th alone, we experienced a significant surge of around $90.10 million, indicating a rising faith among investors in Ethereum (ETH).
