At roughly $300 billion, Ether is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, and there have been a number of headlines recently regarding its many uses. This month, the European Investment Bank issued the first-ever digital bond on the Ethereum blockchain network, while non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and smart contracts appear to be growing exponentially.
In fact, virtual worlds such as Decentraland are a fascinating new digital market in which a virtual land sale transaction just occurred for over $500k. Given all of these innovative uses for Ethereum, it’s not surprising to see the Ethereum Trust (ETHE) outperform the Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). Over the past six months, ETHE returned 343% versus 188% for GBTC.

ETF PM has been trading long positions in ETHE and GBTC. See prior notes: 4/21c, 4/21b, 4/21, 3/21c, 3/21b, 3/21, 2/21, 1/21, 12/20, 11/20b, 11/20, 10/20, 12/17).
