The State of Michigan Retirement System disclosed over $11 million in exposure to spot Ethereum (ETH<\/a>) exchange-traded funds (ETF) in its latest 13-F filing.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, Michigan became the first state to invest in Ethereum and currently holds a larger position in Ethereum ETFs, compared to the $7 million invested in spot Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

As of Sept. 30, the Michigan state pension fund held 460,000 Grayscale<\/a> Ethereum Fund (ETHE<\/a>) shares, equivalent to $10 million. It also held 460,000 shares of the asset manager\u2019s Ethereum Mini Trust<\/a>, which amounted to $1.1 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

VanEck<\/a> head of digital assets research Matthew Sigel\u00a0<\/span>highlighted<\/a><\/strong> that this makes the state pension the fourth and second largest holder of these funds' shares, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

A ‘big win' for Ethereum<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The 13-F Form revealed that the Michigan pension fund <\/span>still holds<\/a><\/strong> its shares of ARK 21Shares<\/a> Bitcoin ETF (ARKB<\/a>) reported in their latest 13-F form filing. As the Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) price increased, the holdings represented nearly $7 million as of Sept. 30.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Notably, with the addition of the Ethereum ETFs, the state treasury had more exposure to ETH than BTC at the end of the third quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas<\/a> said the state pension fund's investment was<\/span> a \u201cpretty big win\u201d for Ethereum. He noted that the fund decided to add more exposure to ETH despite its lackluster yearly price performance compared to BTC.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, in addition to the Michigan pension fund, the State of Wisconsin Investment Board <\/span>reported a $164 million exposure<\/a><\/strong> to Bitcoin via ETFs. <\/span>Jersey City<\/a><\/strong> and <\/span>Florida<\/a><\/strong> politicians also publicly mentioned adding BTC to their pension funds this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is likely why Balchunas considered Ethereum ETFs getting attention from a state pension fund as a big win.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tables about to turn<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The disparity in performance between Ethereum and Bitcoin is also witnessed when comparing their ETF inflows. US-traded Bitcoin ETFs <\/span>registered<\/a> $24.2 billion in yearly inflows, while their Ethereum counterparts <\/span>showed<\/a><\/strong> nearly $480 million in negative net flows.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nate Geraci, CEO of the ETF Store, <\/span>predicted<\/a> in March that Ethereum ETFs would be “a bigger deal\u201d than the market expected. He explained that Bitcoin ETF demand was also severely underestimated, thus Ethereum ETFs could suffer the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

Geraci reiterated his beliefs on Nov. 3, <\/span>adding<\/a><\/strong> that it is only “a matter of time” before US-traded Ethereum ETF inflows start picking up.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
