Ethereum (ETH) is gaining favor among institutional investors. Tom Lee of FundStrat describes it as “the future of finance.” Morgan Stanley has also filed to launch a spot Ethereum ETF, which may include staking rewards, indicating that institutional acceptance of Ethereum is deepening. The company’s analysts predict that with the growth of real-world assets, stablecoins, and on-chain settlements, Ethereum’s performance will surpass Bitcoin by 2026. Nevertheless, the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) is approaching a death cross, currently at $23.70, down 3.26%, reflecting weak short-term trading demand. While institutional investors support the long-term investment case for Ethereum, due to uneven capital inflows and Bitcoin’s continued dominance, the market is digesting this delayed expectation.
