According to Morningstar, the iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) has pulled in $992 million in net inflows, putting the fund on track to surpass the $1-billion mark imminently. 


“It’s very likely, but not a certainty” that ETHA will crest $1 billion in net inflows by close of market on Aug. 21, Bryan Armour, director of passive strategies research at Morningstar, told Cointelegraph. “I believe a single creation unit would put it over the top.”


The Ether (ETH) ETF’s net assets are slightly below $1 billion — $837,898,429 as of mid-day Aug. 21 — because of ETH’s underperformance since ETH ETFs started trading in July.


“Two things impact net assets: net flows and performance. Poor performance has kept net assets much lower than total net flows into the fund,” Armour said. Ether (ETH) has underperformed since ETHA’s launch. Source: iShares

Fund issuers say ETH ETFs are gaining surprising traction among registered investment advisors (RIAs), who direct up to half of fund flows in the $9-trillion ETF market.


“A pleasant surprise to me has been the significant interest from the adviser community” in ETH ETFs, Kyle DaCruz, director of digital assets product for asset VanEck — an asset manager that sponsors crypto ETFs — told Cointelegraph.


DaCruz said advisers find Ether “easier to value and explain to their clients” than Bitcoin (BTC) because the blockchain network “is cash flow producing” and resembles a technology stock. Ethereum validators earn fees in ETH for processing network transactions. 


According to Morningstar data, net assets in ETH ETFs stood at approximately $7.3 billion as of the close of the market on Aug. 20. 


Grayscale Investments, the largest crypto fund issuer with approximately $25 billion in assets under management, anticipates that more crypto ETFs will soon hit the market. 


“We’re going to see a number of more single asset products, and then also certainly some index-based and diversified products,” Dave LaValle, Grayscale’s global head of ETFs, said on Aug. 12
