Ether’s Growth Fuels Institutional Investments
Following Donald Trump’s recent victory, interest in Ether ETFs has surged. The growing value of Ether and rising institutional interest has led to notable investments. For example, the State of Michigan Retirement System recently made headlines by adding Grayscale’s Ethereum ETF to its portfolio, becoming the first state pension fund to invest in the product since its launch.
According to a CoinTab report, Michigan’s pension fund acquired 460,000 shares in the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE), valued at roughly $10 million as of the end of Q3. Additionally, it holds 460,000 shares in Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust ETF, worth about $1.1 million. This brings its total Ether ETF allocation to over $11 million, surpassing its $7 million investment in Bitcoin ETFs.
