Ethereum Outpaces Bitcoin in Relative ETF Inflow Intensity

A recent analysis by crypto market analyst Jamie Coutts reveals that Ethereum's spot ETF inflows have outpaced those of Bitcoin when measured relative to market capitalization.

This observation challenges the common perception that Bitcoin remains the dominant draw for institutional capital in the digital asset space.

Coutts calculated daily net ETF inflows as a percentage of each asset's market capitalization, providing a more direct measure of inflow intensity. Over the past month, Ethereum's inflow intensity stood at 0.55%, roughly 2.4 times Bitcoin's 0.23%.

The trend extends over longer periods: three-month figures show ETH at 0.41% while BTC was -0.12%, and six-month data reveals ETH at 0.38% versus BTC at -0.015%.
