Bitcoin spot ETFs lead the US market. They manage over $146.48 billion. BlackRock's IBIT has $84 billion. Fidelity's FBTC is second with nearly $23 billion.

Ethereum ETFs, launched six months later, hold about $20.1 billion. BlackRock's ETH ETF leads this group. It has $10.71 billion.

A major bank said companies are buying Ether faster than Bitcoin. Since July, institutions have bought almost 1% of all Ether.

The bank stated this buying, plus flows into Ethereum ETFs, is boosting Ether's price. They predict Ether could reach $4,000. It currently trades at $3,480. That's over 35% higher in 30 days.

A notable forecast is that companies could hold 10% of all Ether by 2030. This is because the network has real uses.
