According to one of the bank's top managers, the demand from organizations for ether is growing much faster than for bitcoin, thanks to favorable regulatory arbitrage. The expert suggested that in the future, legal entities can control up to 10% of all issued ether coins - which is ten times more than the current figure.
Ether is becoming especially attractive to large investors, as it allows you to earn money on staking and provides access to the decentralized finance (DeFi) market. Among the largest buyers are BitMine and SharpLink, which together own more than $3.3 billion in ETH.
The current growth trend of the ether rate is supported by an active inflow of funds into spot ETH-ETFs, which have been showing record levels since the beginning of July. In addition, Ethereum is increasingly being used in countries with restrictions on cryptocurrencies as a means of storing digital assets.
Glassnode platform specialists noted that for the first time since April 2023, the share of Ethereum in open interest in the derivatives market reached 40%, while Bitcoin's dominance has decreased. This indicates growing investor interest in Ethereum and its importance in the crypto market.
Thus, Ethereum is strengthening its position as one of the key cryptocurrencies for institutional investors, opening up new opportunities for long-term growth and expanding its influence in the financial ecosystem.
