As prices move and investors seek an edge, critical data reveals a clear preference for Bitcoin over Ethereum in the past months. While the market may appear calm, history shows things can turn on a dime. Therefore, examining on-chain data and fundamentals is vital to anticipate potential shifts.
ETF Flows Showing Bitcoin Dominance
Traditional investors are showing an increasing preference for Bitcoin over Ethereum, as evidenced by crucial data from Farside Investors, a London-based investment management firm. According to their reports, Spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced five consecutive inflows, while Ethereum ETFs have seen five straight days of outflows.
While some market participants believe that the outflows from Ethereum ETFs are due to selling pressure from Grayscale, analyst and investor Lark Davis has countered this argument. He points out that “about 30% of ETH is already out of Grayscale’s $ETHE ETF,” implying that the outflows are driven by broader market sentiment rather than Grayscale’s influence.
