Around 60% of investors believe that Ethereum (ETH) has a more compelling growth outlook, according to a survey by CoinShares.
As opposed to the 60% siding with ETH, only 30% of the respondents said Bitcoin (BTC) had the most compelling growth outlook, according to the CoinShares survey.
The survey included 43 investors who managed a total of $390 billion worth of assets. Among the participants, those who identified as Wealth Managers (25%) and Family Office (25%) accounted for half of the group. Another 22% and 17% identified as Hedge Fund and Institutional, respectively.
