Ethereum seems to be the second most trending Cryptocurrency after
Bitcoin. We have decided some time ago that while many new
cryptocurrencies keep popping up we shall wait and see how this
landscape evolves.

In any case, in order to get such a client included in Tails, it should
first be available as official Debian package, not simply in a PPA.
Please read more about this here:
https://tails.boum.org/support/faq/#new_software

A request for package has already been issued it seems:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=860434

We do not have the manpower to work on this ourselves, as it is outside
of Tails mission to get this software packaged.

Cheers!
