BlackRock Ethereum ETF Adds 1.23 Million ETH In July

Just as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved in-kind redemptions for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) hit a new milestone. With $223 million in inflows and adding 59,309 ETH to its holdings, the net holdings of the ETHA fund have crossed a massive 3 million. Note that 40% of these purchases over 1.23 million have happened in July, so far this month.

Experts predict that the approval can happen by the year-end. This would be a major breakthrough as it will allow US ETF issuers to generate additional yields by staking their ETH, and ultimately pass on extra returns to investors. SEC’s approval would further attract a flood of institutional capital into Ether ETFs.

On Tuesday, the ETHA shares clocked over $1.1 billion in trading volume amid strong traders’ interest. After rallying by more than 50% over the past month, the ETHA share price is now flirting with $30 level.

Bloomberg Senior ETF Strategist Eric Balchunas noted that Ether ETFs are rapidly gaining ground, cutting into Bitcoin’s dominance in the crypto ETF market.

Note that BlackRock Ethereum ETF is single-handedly driving most of the inflows for the entire sector. Of the $218 million in net inflows on Tuesday, BlackRock alone contributed $223 million.

Ethereum ETFs saw net inflows of approximately 58,000 ETH yesterday compared to just 2,399 ETH (~$9.1 million) in net new issuance by the Ethereum network.
