The Rise of Ethereum ETFs: A Year in Review
US-based Spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) marked their first anniversary with a consistent inflow streak, showcasing growing interest from both institutional and retail investors in Ethereum as a solid asset class. Approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on July 23, 2024, these ETFs have swiftly become a key component of the cryptocurrency investment landscape.
- These funds have attracted nearly $8.7 billion in net inflows over the past year.
- Assets under management have now surpassed $16.5 billion.
This significant growth reflects the wider acceptance and integration of Ethereum into traditional financial markets.
Key Players and Their Impact on the Market
Out of the nine available Ether ETFs, BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) leads the pack, securing $8.9 billion in net flows. This performance has effectively offset the $4.3 billion in net outflows from the Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHE).
