Ethereum’s recent surge is propelled by it and Bitcoin serving as “alternative stores of value and potential hedges" by institutional investors, experts told Decrypt.

That’s led to Ethereum retail investors being “sidelined” as funds flow into ETFs and corporate treasuries like Bitminer, which now holds the world’s largest holdings of ETH. Other firms are following suit, with Sharplink announcing a $265 million ETH buy for its holdings Tuesday.

It’s not just ETH that’s being propelled by institutional enthusiasm; Litecoin surged to a five-month high Tuesday on renewed optimism around a LTC ETF and pharmaceutical firm MEI Pharma’s recent $100 million pivot into a Litecoin corporate treasury.
