As the crypto world anticipates the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s decision on spot Ethereum ETFs, Samson Mow, CEO of Bitcoin adoption firm Jan3, has <a href="https://twitter.com/Excellion/status/1793390813705298015?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">voiced</a> skepticism about the potential of Ethereum-based ETFs compared to <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-demand-slowed-down-glassnode-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">Bitcoin</a>. 
He argues that the imminent approval of these funds is not necessarily a bullish signal for Ethereum, predicting that they will “massively underperform” compared to Bitcoin ETFs. 
<h2 id="mow-s-call-why-ethereum-holders-shoud-probably-cash-out-now">Mow’s Call: Why Ethereum Holders Shoud Probably Cash Out Now</h2> 
Diving deeper into the Bitcoin advocate remarks, Mow suggests that this period may be the last opportunity for Ethereum holders to sell their holdings at a favorable price relative to Bitcoin. 
He points to the lack of staking rewards and the lower demand for Ethereum in various markets as reasons for his stance. According to Mow, “This is the last chance to sell ETH above 0.05 BTC.” 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 
 Ethereum spot ETF approvals are not bullish as they will undoubtedly massively underperform <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">#Bitcoin</a> ETFs. Compare demand in other markets where both exist, and factor in that they will not give staking rewards. This is the last chance to sell ETH above 0.05 BTC.

</blockquote> 
The majority echoed his sentiments in the comments of Mow’s posts, which were restricted to only his followers or people he mentioned. A user named ‘VeteranHODL’ <a href="https://x.com/VeteranHODL/status/1793394307329581409" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">suggested</a> that Ethereum ETFs might become the “biggest sell the news event this year,” Mow agreed, stating: “Many.” 
Another commenter, ‘Satu Madu,’ speculated that these ETFs could divert funds from Bitcoin ETFs, a theory Mow dismissed by citing the lack of significant Ethereum accumulation by major institutional investors like MicroStrategy. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 
 Doubt it. Show me a <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24MSTR&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">$MSTR</a> accumulating Ethereum seriously.

Meanwhile, Ethereum’s market performance has been strong so far, with a nearly 30% increase over the past week and a 2.9% rise in the last 24 hours alone, bringing its price to $3,792. This rise comes amidst speculation and investor interest in the outcome of the <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/lawyer-sec-approve-spot-ethereum-etfs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">SEC’s pending decision on Ethereum spot ETFs</a>.
