“I don’t suppose anybody anticipated [the] Ethereum ETF to be as profitable because the Bitcoin ETF was, however in actuality, Bitcoin actually has only one competitor – that’s gold. Ethereum is about utility and creating use instances.
They really have many, many rivals, from Avalanche to Solana to an entire bunch of others. And so you will have a scenario the place the availability – as a result of it’s an earned proof-of-stake mannequin – is rising and but transactions are simply form of regular.
So there’s somewhat little bit of imbalance, however I’m very constructive that over time it’s nonetheless in a pull place and has an opportunity to permit others to get into the area.”

The truth that there’s an ETF for Ethereum and Bitcoin will create extra entry. In order that’s in the end constructive. Morgan Stanley goes to let their RIAs (registered funding advisors) now promote the Bitcoin ETF. In order that’s positively a constructive.
And I feel what folks don’t notice is the adoption on community and on this area is definitely rising lots. When you take a look at wallets, take a look at addresses, it’s there. So I’m very constructive going ahead.”
