- Basis of Estimate:
- Relative global ETH AUM market share compared to BTC: 28%.
- Comparison between CME’s ETH Open Interest (OI) and BTC: ETH currently at 23%.
- Benchmarking against cumulative spot BTC ETF inflows of $13.8 billion.

Projected Inflows:
- Estimated Net ETH Inflows: $3.1 billion to $4.8 billion.
- Equivalent to: 750,000 to 1,000,000 ETH.
- Represents: 0.65-0.85% of ETH’s circulating supply.

Market Dynamics and Outlook

Estimated inflows of $4 billion to ETH and approximately $3 billion of sell-side pressure in BTC (due to Mt. Gox releases) favor ETH/BTC strength over the summer. While ETH/BTC has been on a linear downtrend for the past two years, the imminent positive catalyst for ETH and corresponding negative catalyst for BTC suggest a potential breakout.

Periods of ETH outperformance tend to be short-lived but very strong. In 2021, ETH's significant outperformance against BTC occurred in a seven-week period from late March to mid-May. Given the current setup, ETH is positioned for summer strength. With the ETH/BTC ratio at 0.054, taking a long position on ETH versus BTC is considered advantageous.
