Spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have <a href="https://sosovalue.com/assets/etf/us-eth-spot" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">captured</a> major investor attention, outperforming their Bitcoin counterparts over the last four trading days from November 22 to 27. According to data from Farside Investors, Ether ETFs recorded $224.9 million in net inflows during this period, eclipsing the $35.2 million inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs.
The disparity comes as Ethereum’s decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem gains momentum, spurred by a <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/court-ruling-challenges-ofac-sanctions-on-tornado-cash-whats-next/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">landmark court victory for Tornado Cash</a> and speculation that crypto advocate Paul Atkins could replace Gary Gensler as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair.
Ether’s market performance also reflected this optimism, with its price rallying nearly 8% over the past week to $3,590, while Bitcoin saw a 2% decline, falling to $96,780.

Industry experts, including Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, attributed Ethereum’s recent rally to the Tornado Cash court ruling, which provided partial legal recognition to the controversial privacy mixer. Thielen also highlighted reports suggesting a more crypto-friendly regulatory landscape under a potential SEC leadership change.
“This underperformance [of Ether compared to Bitcoin] was justified before the U.S. presidential election, but with expectations of a favorable regulatory shift, it now presents a potential opportunity,” Thielen remarked.
The ETH-to-BTC price ratio has also seen an uptick, climbing to 0.037 BTC as Ether continues to gain ground. Analysts suggest this resurgence could signal a DeFi renaissance, especially with President-elect Donald Trump’s reported connections to DeFi protocol World Liberty Financial.

Despite Ethereum’s recent gains, <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/u-s-spot-bitcoin-etfs-reach-record-high-with-66-1b-in-assets/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">spot Bitcoin ETFs have maintained a commanding lead</a> in overall November inflows, drawing a record-breaking $6.2 billion for the month, including $3.1 billion last week alone.
Leveraged Ether ETFs, however, are gaining traction. Research from K33 noted a 160% increase in demand for these funds following Trump’s election victory, as investors position themselves for a potential DeFi boom under a more supportive regulatory regime.
While <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/solana-outperforms-ethereum-in-daily-transaction-fees-for-the-first-time-erc20-token-raises-nearly-5-million/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum has lagged behind Bitcoin and Solana</a> in the current bull market, many view it as a “catch-up trade” with significant growth potential. The week’s developments underscore Ethereum’s growing appeal as both a technological and investment powerhouse in the evolving crypto landscape.
