The first spot Ethereum ETFs in the U.S. began trading on July 23. These ETFs, approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, include products from well-known financial institutions like BlackRock, Fidelity and Grayscale, among others. They provide investors exposure to Ethereum’s price without needing to directly hold the cryptocurrency.
Here’s a look at how those ETFs are performing today:
- BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF, trading on NASDAQ, emerged as the top performer. It boasts $250.39 million in daily net inflow. The fund’s cumulative net inflow stands at $2.1 billion, with net assets of $2.5 billion.
- Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust, listed on NYSE, recorded $3.39 million in daily inflows, contributing to its substantial cumulative net inflow of $420.15 million. The fund currently maintains a 0.35% ETH share with a market price of $33.84.
- Fidelity Ethereum Fund, on the Cboe Exchange, secured $79.44 million in daily inflows, pushing its cumulative total to $824.23 million. The fund trades at $35.88 with a 0.22% ETH share.
Bitcoin ETFs maintain strong presence
Despite being overtaken in daily flows, Bitcoin spot ETFs demonstrate strong performance. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF recorded $137.49 million in daily net inflow. IBIT’s cumulative net inflow has reached $31.74 billion, commanding a 2.51% BTC share.
Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, or FBTC, followed with $106.46 million in daily inflow, while Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, or BITB, secured $26.54 million.
Notably, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust showed no daily inflow, maintaining its cumulative position at -$20.52 billion.
The total value traded for Ethereum ETFs reached $313.61 million, while Bitcoin ETFs recorded a higher volume of $2.51 billion. The cumulative total net inflow stands at $573.32 million for Ethereum ETFs and $30.70 billion for Bitcoin ETFs.
The first spot Bitcoin ETF was approved and launched in Canada by Purpose Investments. It began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the ticker BTCC on Feb. 18, 2021. This was a significant milestone, as it marked the world’s first-ever ETF directly holding Bitcoin.
In the U.S., however, the SEC has not yet approved a spot Bitcoin ETF as of November 2024. The U.S. market currently only has futures-based Bitcoin ETFs, which started with the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) in October 2021.
