Highlights
- QCP analysts pointed to a longer period before peak ETH ETF inflows.
- This is due to no staking and the absence of a tagline like Bitcoin.
- This week, Ethereum ETFs saw net outflows totaling $341 million.
QCP analysts have pointed to a longer wait period before spot Ethereum ETFs take off in traditional markets. This is due to a distinction from Bitcoin (BTC) which had the digital gold tagline as well as a wider mainstream adoption. The first week of spot Ethereum ETFs trading saw a net $341 million outflow.
Investors Less Incentivized Without Staking: QCP
QCP noted that the first week of ETH ETF in the United States seems almost like a repeat of Bitcoin’s product with the ETH price recording $3,565 highs and $3,086 lows. This is because of the hefty fee of Grayscale’s products driving out huge outflows within days.
“Despite Grayscale introducing a Mini ETF (ETH) with the most competitive fee of 0.15%, net outflows continue to dominate with only 10% of the initial ETHE being converted to ETH. Crypto market pulling the classic ‘buy the hype sell the news’. Over positioning into an event and rushing out when there’s a lack of positive reaction.”
With net $341 million outflows, although largely due to Grayscale, ETH ETF needs time to record an upswing because, unlike Bitcoin, most traditional finance investors view it as an abstract concept. Bitcoin was hailed in several quarters as the digital gold, alongside mass adoption and a store of value. A main selling point for the second largest crypto was staking. However, without, the staking feature for spot Ethereum ETFs, investors become less incentivized.

Days of Outflows for Spot Ethereum ETFs
Spot Ethereum ETFs came with widespread anticipation and although most funds have recorded inflows, Grayscale remains riddled with exits. A look at flows in the first week of trading shows Graysclale’s ETHE at $1.51 billion outflow taking the net figure to $341 million.
However, BlackRock’s ETHA attracted $442 million while Bitwise’s ETHW posted $265.5 million. The fees of Grayscale continue to drive outflows but its Mini ETF has gained $164 million so far. Analysts point to the U.S. elections as a possible bullish driver for the wider market alongside interest rate cuts.
