It is a move whose most concrete explanation concerns the specificity of the functioning of institutional investments in the US as well as elsewhere.
Volumes on Ethereum are, at least for similar products in Europe, quite slow compared to those on Bitcoin. Just like the assets of ETNs/ETCs that focus on Ethereum in Europe are much smaller compared to those that focus on Bitcoin instead.
