Ethereum ETFs Experience Continued Growth Despite Market Challenges
In the dynamic world of cryptocurrency investments, Ethereum spot ETFs have maintained a positive trend, as evidenced by recent data from SoSoValue. During the third week of September, these financial instruments exhibited a robust trading performance, netting inflows of $556.92 million. Although this marks a slight decrease from the previous week’s $637.79 million, it highlights the ongoing interest investors have in acquiring Ethereum through regulated institutional channels.

The beginning of September was characterized by significant withdrawals, with $787.74 million in net outflows. However, since then, Ethereum ETFs have rebounded, achieving a cumulative net inflow of $406.97 million for the month. This trend underscores the resilience and growing appeal of Ethereum investments among institutional players.
BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust Leads the Market
BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) has emerged as a dominant force in the Ethereum ETF landscape. Recent data reveals that it attracted $513.01 million in net inflows, capturing over 92% of the total Ethereum ETF market share. With cumulative inflows amounting to $13.40 billion and net assets under management (AUM) reaching $17.09 billion, BlackRock has solidified its position as a market leader.
In stark contrast, other funds have struggled to compete. Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH) recorded $17.99 million in net inflows, while Fidelity’s FETH garnered $15.18 million. Grayscale’s legacy ETHE trust added $13.60 million, and Bitwise’s ETHW managed to attract $7.52 million. Notably, VanEck’s ETHV experienced a loss of $8.16 million, and Invesco’s QETH saw minor outflows of $1.73 million, highlighting the varied performance across the sector.
Despite these disparities, Ethereum ETFs collectively report $29.64 billion in total net assets, supported by $13.29 billion in cumulative inflows. These figures underscore the enduring institutional interest in Ethereum, with BlackRock’s ETHA acting as a bellwether for the sector’s future performance. If this momentum continues, Ethereum ETFs will likely play a significant role in driving Ethereum’s institutional adoption as we approach 2026.
Bitcoin ETFs Gain Significant Traction
The Bitcoin ETF market has also experienced a surge in activity, mirroring the Ethereum trend. In the third week of September, Bitcoin ETFs recorded an impressive $886.65 million in net inflows, contributing to a monthly total of $3.48 billion. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) once again took the lead, amassing $866.84 million in aggregate inflows.
As of the latest data, total net assets across all Bitcoin ETFs amount to $152.31 billion, representing 6.63% of Bitcoin’s entire market capitalization. Cumulative inflows have reached $57.72 billion, illustrating the strong institutional demand for Bitcoin exposure.
