Why Ethereum ETFs Are Good for Bitcoin
Michael Saylor, the co-founder of MicroStrategy, believes that the approval of Ethereum Spot ETFs is a positive development for Bitcoin. He explains that these ETFs:
- Enhance Bitcoin’s political power by providing a “line of defense” with Ethereum’s large user base.
- Increase institutional adoption by diversifying investors’ interest in crypto ETFs.
- Legitimize the entire crypto asset class, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other aspects like DeFi and NFTs.
