Accumulated net inflows into Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) exceeded $2.6 billion in December. This represents a significant increase in popularity compared to Bitcoin ETFs, which have been widely sought after.
CoinShares data shows that Ether ETFs experienced eight consecutive weeks of net inflows during the months of November and December, including a record-breaking $2.2 billion in the week of November 26.
While Ether ETFs are still behind BTC ETFs in terms of net inflows, which amounted to more than $35 billion in 2024 according to Farside, analysts believe this trend could shift in 2025.
This may be due to ETH’s price performance potentially increasing the returns of ETFs, as well as regulators potentially allowing the funds to generate profits from staking.
Among ETF peers, BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) was the most successful, attracting over $3.5 billion in net inflows in 2024, as reported by Farside. Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) came in second place with $1.5 billion in net inflows.
