Spot Ethereum ETFs have recorded ten consecutive days of inflows, showing growing institutional demand for the asset, while Bitcoin ETFs have seen a surge in outflows over the past two trading sessions.

Ethereum ETF Inflows On the Rise
Over the past ten trading sessions, inflows into spot Ether ETFs have gathered pace, with BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) dominating the flows. As per data from Farside Investors, ETHA inflows stood at $70.2 million on Friday, as per data from Farside Investors.
As a result, its total inflows since inception have crossed more than $4.6 billion, while taking the net flows across all US ETF issuers to more than $3 billion, since inception. Similar to Ethereum price gains, the ETHA share price has also surged by 44% over the past month, now trading at $19.49.
Earlier this month, BlackRock amended the S-1 filing for its Ethereum ETF ETHA to allow in-kind redemption. Soon after that, the inflows into ETHA have gathered momentum again. Furthermore, asset managers are pushing for the SEC to introduce staking to Ether ETFs soon. On Friday, asset manager RexShares filed a prospectus to bring staking to Ether ETF products in the United States. Asset manager BlackRock is also pushing for the same.
Although inflows into spot Ethereum ETF have been on the rise, it won’t have much impact on spot ETH price, according to the latest study from Glassnode. This is because the contribution of ETFs to the daily trading volumes of spot Ether is negligible at 1.5% or below.

However, these recent outflows came after a month of massive inflows, crossing $44 billion. This is also completed with the Bitcoin price rally to $111K, however, the recent pullback shows a shift in investor sentiment.
