Matrixport: Ethereum may need ETF issuers to create a more attractive narrative to boost prices in 2025

According to a chart released today by Matrixport, Ethereum's performance is disappointing in 2024, with its weakness evident since the launch of the Ethereum ETF, with funds flowing far below market expectations. Meanwhile, on July 31, 2024, Senator Lummis proposed a Bitcoin bill, suggesting that Bitcoin be designated as a strategic reserve asset.

In contrast, Bitcoin has successfully established its position as "digital gold" and a potential reserve asset, while Ethereum lacks a similarly attractive narrative among traditional finance (TradFi) investors. The lack of clear use cases may be one of the core reasons for Ethereum's underperformance.

Looking ahead, ETF issuers may need to take on the responsibility of creating and promoting a more attractive narrative for Ethereum in 2025. Without additional support and market positioning, it may be difficult for Ethereum to bridge the gap with Bitcoin on its own.

    Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua stated in an article that first, he acknowledges that the market cycle is still valid. With the US stock market holding strong and the new phase of DAT/ETF, the consensus in the crypto circle has not been broken, coupled with the market being easily manipulated. But on the other hand, thinking in reverse, entering a bear market in the crypto space is also the best time to lay out plans, just like in the last cycle when we benefited from positioning during the bear market. The future is bright, still optimistic about the next bull market opportunity in the industry, will continue to work hard building, pessimists are correct, optimists win.
