Record-Breaking Day for Ethereum ETFs
Data from SoSoValue indicates that U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs achieved their highest single-day net inflows on Monday, reaching $295.5 million – more than doubling their previous record of $106 million set on launch day. Fidelity’s ether ETF led the surge with $115.5 million in inflows, followed by BlackRock’s ETHA with $101.1 million. Grayscale’s Mini Ethereum Trust and Bitwise’s ETHW also saw significant inflows of $63.3 million and $15.6 million respectively.
The funds’ trading volume also hit a new record of $912.9 million, substantially exceeding the typical daily range of $100-200 million and Friday’s volume of $469.1 million. In the four trading days following Donald Trump’s presidential victory, these ETFs have accumulated approximately $513 million in net inflows.
Market Analysis and DeFi Implications
Crypto analyst Rachael Lucas from BTCMarkets attributes this surge to shifting regulatory expectations: “The prospect of a more lenient regulatory approach has eased concerns, leading investors to bet on a more favorable environment for Ethereum and DeFi assets.” She also noted that the rally in DeFi tokens like Aave, Uniswap, and Lido indicates growing confidence in the broader Ethereum ecosystem.
Bitcoin ETFs Maintain Momentum
While Ethereum ETFs broke records, Bitcoin ETFs also showed impressive performance with $1.1 billion in daily net inflows on Monday. This marks the second time these funds collectively exceeded $1 billion in daily inflows, following the previous record of $1.38 billion on November 7. BlackRock’s IBIT dominated with $756.5 million in net inflows, while Fidelity’s FBTC and Ark/21Shares’ ARKB added $135 million and $108.6 million respectively.
Trading volume for Bitcoin ETFs reached $7.3 billion, hitting its highest level since March 14. The combined net inflows for these funds now stand at $26.9 billion, demonstrating sustained institutional interest in cryptocurrency investment vehicles.
