Spot Ether ETF Inflows Outperform Bitcoin ETFs

Ethereum spot ETFs have recorded net inflows for 16 consecutive trading days, marking a major milestone for the newly launched products. At $453 million, Friday ranked as the fourth-highest daily inflow since their inception.

During this streak, spot Ethereum ETFs have attracted nearly $5 billion in net new capital. Notably, they have outperformed spot Bitcoin ETFs in net inflows for seven straight sessions. On Friday alone, ETH ETFs saw net inflows of approximately 123,867 ETH, worth $452.9 million, nearly 48 times of the net ETH issued. The BlackRock Ethereum ETF dominates most of the inflows.

Total weekly net inflows into ETH ETFs now stand at $1.8 billion, compared to just $71 million for Bitcoin ETFs over the same period. This clearly highlights the institutional shift from BTC to ETH.
