Ethereum Futures ETF Trading Volume Picks Momentum After Slow Start
The crypto market has witnessed a significant shift with Ethereum Futures Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) already gaining substantial traction in terms of trading volume and investor interest after a hesitant start. The gradual increase in assets for Ethereum Futures ETFs is a positive sign for the crypto market as a whole.
VanEck Takes Early Lead
Bloomberg ETF analyst, Erich Balchunas highlighted in a recent post that the total fund of the assets is now over $15.6 million. Among the ETF offerings, VanEck’s Ethereum Strategy ETF (EFUT) has emerged as an early leader in terms of both trading volume and assets under management.
As of the latest data available, EFUT has managed to accumulate $8.27 million in assets. This achievement demonstrates the growing interest among investors in gaining exposure to Ethereum through an ETF
While VanEck has taken the lead, ProShares Ether Strategy ETF (EETH) is not far behind. With $5.96 million in assets, ProShares has attracted a significant amount of investor capital. This competitive performance indicates that Ethereum Futures ETFs are starting to resonate with a diverse range of investors, from retail crypto enthusiasts to institutional players.
Furthermore, Bitwise Ethereum Strategy ETF (AETH) secured the third position with $0.62 million in assets. While it trails behind VanEck and ProShares, its presence in the market showcases the growing demand for investment products that provide exposure to ETH futures contracts.
Slow Beginning for Ethereum Futures ETFs
When the ETH Futures ETFs were launched earlier this week, many investors and experts were eager to see if they could replicate the success of their Bitcoin counterparts. However, the initial reception was notably lukewarm. Unlike Bitcoin ETFs, which had seen rapid adoption and trading volume, ETH ETFs struggled to gain traction on their first day of trade.
Of the nine ETFs launched, five exclusively hold Ethereum futures contracts, while the remaining four combine Bitcoin and Ether futures contracts. This broad offering was supposed to appeal to a wide spectrum of investors, from those seeking pure Ethereum exposure to those seeking a diversified crypto investment.
