The converted Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) and BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) saw the most volume on July 23 at $458 million and $248.7 million, respectively, according to preliminary data from Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.


The Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH), Bitwise Ethereum ETF (ETHW) rounded out the top four with $137.2 million and $94.3 million, while the 21Shares-issued spot Ether ETF came in last, failing to crack the $10 million mark.

Fellow Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart expects the inflows to range somewhere between $125 million and $325 million — but that will depend on how many investors these firms had lined up.


In January, spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs saw $655.2 million in inflows on its first day of trading, including a $95 million outflow from Grayscale’s converted Bitcoin product.

It comes a day after the US securities regulator made effective the final S-1 forms necessary for the products to launch on the Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, and Chicago Board Options Exchange.


Fidelity, 21Shares, Bitwise, Franklin and VanEckhave waived fees on their ETFs for a set period or until the products reach a certain amount in net assets.


After that, all spot Ether (ETH) ETFs except ETHE will offer a base fee between 0.15% and 0.25%. ETHE’s fee remains at 2.5%.


BlackRock is offering a discounted fee of 0.12% for the first 12 months or until the fund reaches $2.5 billion in net assets, whichever comes first. After that, it will increase to 0.25%.


The Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust will start at a 0.12% fee and move to 0.25% after 12 months or $2 billion in net assets is reached, while the Invesco Galaxy-issued spot Ether ETF is set at 0.25%.Source:James Seyffart


Ether’s is currently trading at $3,470 — hovering between $3,400 and $3,500 on the first trading day.
