Recent market trends indicate that Ethereum is one of the least profitable cryptocurrencies. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas argues that shorting Ethereum through ETFs offers a high-return strategy for investors seeking to capitalize on its decline, with two leading funds (ETHD and ETQ) achieving impressive returns this year according to Bloomberg Intelligence. 2x leveraged ETFs allow for increased earnings potential. While this approach has benefited many investors, those betting on Ethereum’s price increase are facing losses. The asset has declined by 52% since the start of 2025 and 35% in the past six months. This makes buying ETH a less profitable investment strategy compared to the past year.
