Ethereum ETFs

This Crypto Star is Ready for its Closeup.

Crypto-related ETFs are all the rage lately as the ideal entry point for traditional investors to grab a little exposure to the risk-on world of crypto trading.

As Bitcoin starts to build support above the $100K level, it’s easy to think that piling into a popular Bitcoin ETF like IBIT or GBTC is the way to go, but remember; it’s always more fun (and potentially more rewarding) to turn right when everyone else is dashing off to the left.

For the Cliff Notes version of Bitcoin vs Ethereum, Bitcoin is often referred to as “digital gold,” and many view it primarily as a store of value. On the other hand, Ethereum is a “platform” for decentralized applications and smart contracts. We are not going to get much deeper into the weeds here, but the simple takeaway is that Bitcoin focuses on value preservation while Ethereum looks to enable innovative digital solutions.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs have been the darlings of 2024, with an average YTD surge surpassing 100% gains. Many traditional investors might have missed the fact that the same providers of Bitcoin ETFs, like Grayscale and VanEck, have also more recently launched Spot Ethereum ETFs. The Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) is up 75% YTD, easily doubling the returns of the S&P 500, but it does not seem to be getting the proper media attention – which is good for you.

Ethereum just broke through the $4K level this week, and most crypto experts will tell you that Ethereum tends to run as soon as Bitcoin starts to cool down. If you want to chew on more granular details, it’s easy to find hundreds of crypto influencers across your favorite social platforms to give you real-time insights into this space.

Here at Risk Reward Stocks, we strive to take a top-down look at emerging investing opportunities. Over the next few months, we are excited about the possible gains that could be around the corner for anyone willing to take a chance on ETHE.
