“Just as Amazon evolved beyond books to redefine entire industries, Ethereum may surprise us with revolutionary use cases that we can't fully envision today,” a 21Shares executive said.

Wall Street investors are still largely unaware of Ethereum’s potential, similar to Amazon in the early 1990s before it became a $2 trillion tech giant, according to a research analyst at crypto asset manager 21Shares.

Spot Ether (ETH) exchange-traded funds launched in July but have seen relatively small inflows compared with spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs.
