He told The Block that Ethereum has seen weaker institutional demand for a physical ETF compared to Bitcoin.
"The Bitcoin Spot ETF has seen net inflows for seven consecutive days (probably from the 15th to the 23rd)," Fournier said.
"However, an Ethereum spot ETF has lagged even as outflows from Grayscale's ETHE have tapered off."
"One of the reasons for the lack of demand from institutional investors is the loss of restakage opportunities," he said.
As such, they expect Ethereum to continue lagging behind in the future, and BRN recommends increasing allocations to Bitcoin.
