On its first day of trading, the U.S. spot Ethereum exchange traded funds (ETF) saw $1.08 billion in trading volume.
Net inflows to them equaled $106.6 million, despite significant withdrawals from Grayscale’s recently converted Ethereum Trust.
Leading the way was BlackRock’s iShares ETF (ETHA), which received $266.5 million in net inflows, while Bitwise’s ETHW attracted $204 million.
Fidelity’s FETH secured the third spot with a result of $71.3 million in inflows.
These inflows were substantial enough to offset the outflows recorded by Grayscale’s ETHE, which reached $484.9 million.
Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust, a separate lower-fee product, attracted inflows of $15.2 million. Franklin Templeton’s ETF (EZET) reported $13.2 million and 21Shares’ Core Ethereum ETF (CETH) attracted $7.4 million.
Overall, on their first day of trading, the spot ETH funds achieved a cumulative trading volume of $1.08 billion, according to data provided by Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyfarth, which is 23% of the volume that the spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded on their debut.
First day of the ETHness stakes done. The group’s volume was just shy of $1.1 billion. My *prediction* on flows for the day is anywhere from $125 million to $325 million but will depend on how many investors these firms had lined up. We’ll know some official flows in a few hours https://t.co/p6Wjty8VyY pic.twitter.com/1gYYrU1CW1
