Concerns have been raised regarding <a href="https://u.today/ethereums-buterin-shuts-down-speculation-about-l2s-potentially-stealing-funds" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> exchange-traded funds (ETFs) viability in the <a href="https://x.com/glxyresearch/status/1828490424954298574/photo/1" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">market</a> since their launch because of the volume at which they have been trading compared to Bitcoin ETFs.
Data from Galaxy Research indicates that when taking into account Ethereum's market capitalization and its trading volumes on centralized exchanges, the volume of <a href="https://u.today/key-reason-why-ethereum-remains-in-bullish-trend-explained-by-analyst" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> ETFs has not only fallen well short of the expected ratios, but has also lagged behind Bitcoin ETFs. This difference is shown very well in Galaxy's chart. <img alt="Image" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GWAWqouW0AAW0EL?format=png&amp;name=large">Source: <a href="https://x.com/glxyresearch/status/1828490424954298574/photo/1" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Galaxy Research</a>
Ethereum ETFs have struggled to attract the same interest with their volumes, frequently falling short of expectations, while Bitcoin ETFs regularly see high trading volumes. The dynamic also highlights the sharp differences in trading volumes between ETFs and more general market factors like Ethereum's percentage of Bitcoin's market capitalization and CEX volumes.
The truth is that Ethereum ETFs are actually underperforming as seen by the fact that their volumes barely make up a small portion of those of Bitcoin ETFs. This poor performance is caused by multiple factors. One of the main causes is that <a href="https://u.today/key-reason-why-ethereum-remains-in-bullish-trend-explained-by-analyst" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> ETFs are not available for margin trading, which severely reduces institutional traders and investors appeal.
These products are less appealing for large-scale trades because prime trading desks, which are vital to the liquidity and trading activity of ETFs, do not currently offer margin on them. To make matters worse, the volume disparity has been aggravated by the lack of leverage options, which has probably discouraged many potential traders from dealing with Ethereum ETFs.
The price chart adds more context. The daily chart shows a bearish trend with Ethereum's price showing signs of resistance after a sharp drop. Due to their association with a faltering asset, investors may be reluctant to participate in Ethereum ETFs as a result of this price action.
