A former BlackRock executive has described Bitcoin as an "exit asset" and Ethereum as "the new rails" of the financial system, framing Ethereum's infrastructure as the more important long-term bet. Bitwise, the crypto asset manager, publicly disagrees, arguing the opposite case about the two largest cryptocurrencies. The dispute highlights a widening split among institutional voices over whether Bitcoin's monetary role or Ethereum's utility matters more as crypto adoption grows.
