Time to ‘pull the brakes’ on Ethereum and rotate back to Bitcoin: K33 report
“The gravitational pull in crypto for the time being stays in BTC,” said K33 senior analyst Vetle Lunde. The relatively lackluster performance of nine new Ethereum futures exchange traded funds (ETFs) has prompted analysts at K33 Research to urge a “ rotate back” into Bitcoin (BTC). In an Oct. 3 market report , analysts Anders Helseth and Vetle Lunde said that it’s “time to pull the brakes on ETH and rotate back into BTC,” with the initial trading volume of Ether futures ETFs only accounting for 0.2% of what the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) amassed on its first day of trading in Oct. 2021. While the analysts noted that no one expected to see initial trading volume on the Ether futures ETFs “come anywhere close” to that of the Bitcoin futures ETFs — launched amid a raging bull market — the underwhelming first-day numbers “strongly” missed expectations. Day one trading of ETH futures ETFs accounted for just 0.2% of what BTC futures ETFs amassed in 2021. Source: K33 Research...
