Ethereum Staking ETFs Could Surpass Bitcoin ETFs in 2025: Bitcoin Suisse Predicts

Bitcoin Suisse, a prominent crypto finance service provider, is forecasting a continued bullish trend for the cryptocurrency market in 2025, with Ethereum staking exchange-traded funds (ETFs) potentially outpacing Bitcoin ETFs. The Swiss-regulated crypto startup outlined its projections in an outlook for the coming year, emphasizing several key developments.

Bitcoin Suisse anticipates that the U.S. will adopt a Bitcoin strategic reserve, with other nations following suit, pushing Bitcoin’s price to an all-time high of over $180,000. Furthermore, the company predicts that financial giants will increasingly turn to Ethereum to introduce institutional rollups, driving further adoption and innovation on the network.

However, one of the most notable projections from Bitcoin Suisse is that Ethereum-staking ETFs could surpass Bitcoin ETFs. The report highlights the success of Bitcoin ETFs, which saw $32 billion in net flows and nearly $50 billion in assets under management (AUM) within 225 trading days. Despite this, Bitcoin Suisse believes there will be a structural shift towards Ethereum ETFs post-2024 elections.

Key factors supporting this Ethereum ETF forecast include the risk-reward proposition of Ether ETFs, especially as institutional demand continues to rise. A notable example of this shift occurred in November, when Ethereum ETFs outpaced Bitcoin ETFs in daily capital flows—$332.9 million for ETH compared to $320 million for BTC. While Bitcoin has the advantage of being an established asset with a strong narrative, Ethereum’s growth potential, particularly with staking yields, is expected to be a significant catalyst for its ETFs.

Bitcoin Suisse also foresees swift approval for Ethereum staking in ETFs under a potential new Trump administration, unlocking a 3-4% yield that could attract institutional investors. This would be particularly compelling in a declining interest rate environment, further accelerating capital flows into Ethereum ETFs.

In addition to Ethereum, Bitcoin Suisse predicts that new crypto ETFs, particularly for Solana and XRP, will also see approval, as several issuers have already filed applications with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
