According to @camillionaire_m, Ethereum DATs operate like growth companies that compound ETH via staking, restaking, and DeFi to increase ether-generation-per-share, whereas ETH ETFs are passive wrappers designed to track spot or futures price without compounding.

For institutional allocators and traders, @camillionaire_m emphasizes that the choice between DATs and ETFs determines exposure type: compounding ETH yield versus regulated price beta, with materially different performance and risk profiles for ETH strategies.
