Ethereum ETF Dominance: Advisors Buy $1.3B (539K ETH) in Q2, Cementing Shift to Long‑Term Crypto Allocation

Bloomberg data highlighted by analyst James Seyffart shows an investment advisor dominant in the Ethereum ETF space increased holdings by over $1.3 billion in Q2—about 539,000 ETH, a 68% quarter-on-quarter rise—while a similar accumulation in the Bitcoin spot ETF left advisors as the largest holder cohort with roughly 161,000 BTC (≈$17bn). Kronos Research CIO Vincent Liu characterized these flows as a transition from short-term speculation to portfolio-driven, long-term allocations that enhance market liquidity and depth. As more financial advisors incorporate crypto ETFs, these instruments are likely to be positioned within diversified asset allocations alongside equities and bonds. The report notes that regulatory clarity could increase advisor participation, and media outlets such as Fox Business have projected substantial potential inflows under those conditions.
