The hype for Ethereum is starting to outdo the hype for Bitcoin. The crypto market seems to have reached the part of the ongoing bull cycle where the pioneer altcoin ETH has begun to outperform the pioneer cryptocurrency BTC. So much so that financial institutions have focused more on heavily accumulating ETH over BTC. Presently, Arkham Analytics shows BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale heavily loading up on ETH.
Arkham Analytics Shows BlackRock and Others Heavily Buying ETH
As the pioneer altcoin asset, the price of ETH is vigilantly watched after BTC sets a new ATH price in any ongoing bull cycle. This is because the price of ETH is expected to be the first to pump significantly amongst all other altcoins in the crypto market. In fact, several analysts believe that the price of ETH pumping will lead the altseason peak phase of every bull cycle, allowing other altcoin prices to follow its lead.
However, this bull cycle is a little different from previous bull cycles. Unlike the previous bull cycle when very few financial institutions were accumulating BTC and ETH, this bull cycle has seen an influx in institutional interest. Previously, it was just Michael Saylor’s Strategy and El Salvador heavily accumulating BTC alone. This bull cycle, the shift is clear, with more and more institutions joining the crypto asset accumulation bandwagon.
ETH Accumulation in Full Drive
One of the biggest reasons behind the growing institutional interest is due to BTC and ETH spot ETFs being launched. What’s more, both these offerings set records, drawing in a significant amount of interest for institutions to accumulate both ETH and BTC in large troves. At the moment, due to the price BTC having already hit grand new ATH, attention has shifted more toward ETH accumulation over BTC.
To highlight, ever since the price of ETH bottomed in Q1 following BTC’s prolonged correction phase, institutions and whales have been heavily buying ETH, even when the price has now reached the $3,800 price region. As we can see from the post above, BlackRock and Fidelity alone just bought $228.9 million worth of Ethereum. Indeed, whales are continuing to accumulate ETH despite the growing price.
Adding on, the post above from Arkham Analytics shows that BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale are heavily buying ETH. There is no denying that ETH is one of the most promising altcoins to pump bullishly this bull cycle. The fact that some of the largest asset managers in the world are not slowing down in their ETH accumulation adds fuel to high ew ETH ATH price expectations in the coming altseason.
