Investment broker Bernstein’s latest report identifies Ethereum’s core competitive advantage as its functionality as a decentralized global computer. Analysts note growing inflows into Ether (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as institutional investors increasingly recognize the network’s value proposition.
The report describes Ethereum as the blockchain that "deserves love" for its utility, while acknowledging Bitcoin’s dominant position as a store of value and "digital gold."
Lead analyst Gautam Chhugani emphasizes Ethereum’s dual blockchain use cases—stablecoins and asset tokenization. The network maintains leadership in those areas. The study reveals that institutional recognition of Ethereum’s value has already triggered accelerated ETF inflows.
