Ether ETFs Break Into Positive Territory After Sustained Five-Day Inflow Streak

For the first time since their July debut, ether (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have reported cumulative net inflows in the positive, thanks to five straight days of investor interest.

On Tuesday, the nine U.S.-listed spot ether ETFs recorded inflows just shy of $136 million, pushing total inflows since Nov. 6 to approximately $650 million, data from SoSoValue shows. This recent rally brings cumulative net inflows to a positive $94.62 million—a milestone not seen since their launch.

The last and only time cumulative inflows were in the green was on July 23, their first day of trading, when the funds attracted $106.8 million. Following this promising start, ether ETFs struggled to maintain momentum, failing to match the overwhelming investor interest that bitcoin ETFs garnered earlier in the year.

A key hurdle for ether ETFs has been the lack of staking integration—a critical aspect of Ethereum’s appeal—alongside subdued price movement in comparison to the broader crypto market rally. Over the past year, ether has risen by approximately 55%, lagging behind bitcoin’s 141% gains and solana’s staggering 305% surge, according to CoinDesk Indices.

The turnaround may signal a shift in investor sentiment. While early challenges left the funds underperforming, the recent sustained inflows suggest growing interest in ether ETFs as a viable investment vehicle amid the ongoing bull market.
