New data reveals that December was an exceptional month for Ethereum (ETH) spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as investor inflows reached an unprecedented $2.1 billion.
SoSo Value’s insights show that December accounted for 81.56% of the cumulative $2.58 billion net inflow since the launch of Ethereum spot ETFs in April 2015. December inflows nearly doubled November’s $1.08 billion, showing strong investor faith in its product.
Top Ethereum Spot ETFs
Of all the funds, Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) led with total inflow of $1.58 billion, followed by:
- Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH): $601.04 Million
- Bitwise ETF World ETF ETHW: $345.02 Million
- VanEck Ethereum Trust (ETHV): $127.79 Million
- Franklin Ethereum Trust (EZET): $37.65 Million
Ethereum ETFs made their debut in July and generated over half a billion in volume during their first trading day – evidence of market demand and excitement surrounding this financial product.
Regulative Hurdles
Despite strong demand, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has yet to approve Ethereum spot market ETFs. In November, they announced a postponement in their decision in order to comply with current securities laws.
“The Commission will initiate proceedings to enable further analysis of whether proposed rule changes comply with law,” according to an SEC statement.
Ethereum spot ETFs continue to gain ground and reflect growing institutional interest in the cryptocurrency market. But SEC approval remains an important milestone that may impact their future in the United States market.
