News - Ethereum ETFs make gains, Bitcoin ETFs lose ground
By
While Ethereum ETFs have raised $134 million since Monday, Bitcoin ETFs lost a whopping $455 million. Is the big ETH price rally coming now?
Among U.S. crypto-spot ETFs, a striking trend is visible: Ethereum ETFs recorded net inflows of $134 million over the past three trading days, while Bitcoin ETFs recorded $455 million to outflow knew.
Among ETH index funds, the Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust was the outlier, with inflows of $54 million. Close behind were the Ethereum ETFs from BlackRock and Fidelity, which added $50 million and $41 million, respectively.
For the first time since ETF trading began on July 23, the price of the second-largest cryptocurrency broke the $3,600 mark. Still, the November 2021 all-time high of $4,891 remains a long way off.

Slowly, institutional investors seem to be showing more interest in Ethereum. For example, Michigan's pension fund recently became the first major sovereign wealth fund to buy $11 million worth of Ethereum ETF shares.
Meanwhile, almost all US Bitcoin ETFs posted hefty losses. Bitwise's BITB in particular experienced exceptionally high outflows of $226 million, completely wiping out the gains of the record week before.
Only BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF continues to perform positively, with net inflows of $268 million. The world's largest asset manager now manages about 495,488 BTC worth about $47.5 billion.
Despite the recent success, the nine Ethereum ETFs have combined, according to data from Dune "only" 3.03 million ETH under management, worth $10.9 billion. This is a quarter of the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF.
Collectively, all U.S. Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs now manage assets of $117.4 billion. This far exceeds their prediction at the beginning of the year.
