Spot Ethereum ETFs See $107 Million Inflows on First Day, BlackRock Leads
Highlights
- BlackRock's Ethereum ETF ETHA led with $265 million in total inflows on the first day of launch.
- Firms like Invesco, 21Shares, VanEck, and Franklin had inflows between $5-$15 million.
- The Ethereum price has remained stable at $3,450 as investors take a wait-and-watch approach.
On their debut day, the spot Ethereum ETFs saw notable trading volume of over $1 billion and net inflows of $107 million. BlackRock’s ETF led the pack, while the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) had a less favorable impact. This mirrors the pattern observed with GBTC following the Bitcoin ETF launch in January.
Spot Ethereum ETF Flows
On the first day of launch, BlackRock Ethereum ETF ETHA recorded $265 million in total inflows becoming the market leader among all of its peers.
Bitwise Asset Management also managed to steal the limelight with the Bitwise Ether ETF (ETHW) seeing more than $200 million worth of inflows. This has been a pretty good beginning for the asset manager as it gives them an early lead in comparison to other market players like Fidelity.
The Fidelity Ether ETF (FETH), on the other hand, has seen over $70 million in total inflows. Other players like Invesco, 21Shares, VanEck, and Franklin saw inflows to the tune of anywhere between $5-$15 million.
As said, Grayscale ETHE played the major spoilsport recording a staggering $484 million of outflows which is 5% of the fund’s total $10 billion in assets under management. A day before, the asset manager has transferred $1 billion to the Grayscale Ethereum mini-Trust to provide the seed capital ahead of the launch event.
