The core value of the ETH ETF lies in connecting traditional capital, which was previously isolated, directly to the Ethereum ecosystem, allowing ETH to transition from a "chain asset" to a true global financial asset.
It lowers the investment threshold, allowing traditional investors (especially institutions and compliant funds) to directly allocate ETH ETFs through their securities accounts, while the underlying funds will buy and sell based on subscriptions and redemptions, without traditional users needing to open crypto wallets, exchange accounts, or learn about custody and other complex processes.
This is beneficial for attracting long-term capital such as pensions, family offices, and sovereign wealth funds. This not only positively impacts long-term value but will also play a long-term role in the compliance of the entire industry and the prosperity of the ecosystem.
However, with the popularization of planning and the gradual integration of large players, the opportunities for retail investors to benefit from value investing are becoming increasingly rare.
