BlackRock’s spot Ether ETF amasses nearly 0M since launch

BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust has almost hit $900 million in total inflows after just 11 trading days.

BlackRock’s spot Ether exchange-traded fund (ETF) saw $109.9 million in inflows on Aug. 6, bringing its total inflows to $869.8 million since its launch on July 23.

According to Farside Investors, it marked the iShares Ethereum Trust’s (ETHA) third biggest flow day as investors looked to capitalize on Ether’s (ETH) 18% price fall on Aug. 5.

The $870 million in inflows puts BlackRock’s spot Ether ETF in the top six best-performers of all ETFs launched in 2024, according to Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store.

The $310 million in inflows were led by the BlackRock and Fidelity Bitcoin ETFs, while Grayscale recorded a rare inflow day at $23 million.

Mechanism Capital’s Andrew Kang believes an Ether ETF would provide limited upside for the asset unless Ethereum “develops a compelling pathway to improve its economics.”

Ether (ETH) could tumble to as low as $2,400 after the launch of spot Ether exchange-traded funds, says Andrew Kang, a founder and partner at crypto-focused venture capital firm Mechanism Capital.

Ether is currently trading for $3,410, according to CoinGecko. A tumble to $2,400 would be a nearly 30% fall from its current price.

In a June 23 X post, Kang said, unlike Bitcoin, Ether attracts less institutional interest, there are few incentives to convert spot Ether into ETF form, and the network cash flows haven’t been very impressive.

However, the impressive flows from BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC haven’t been enough to gain on the leading ETF asset manager by total flows, Vanguard.

BlackRock and Fidelity’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have accounted for a significant share of the issuers’ total ETF inflows this year.

The Bitcoin ETFs amount to 26% and 56% in year-to-date inflows for BlackRock and Fidelity respectively, according to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, citing data from Bloomberg Intelligence.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) have seen $16.6 billion and $8.9 billion in inflows since they launched nearly five months ago, according to Farside Investor data.
