The BlackRock Ethereum (ETH) ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) launch was somewhat of a sell-the-news event. Unlike Bitcoin’s ETF launch in January, which propelled the asset to a new all-time high, ETH’s ETF did not see the same momentum.
Despite the lackluster launch, ETH ETFs seem to be slowly picking up as BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) hits nearly $900 million in inflows in just 11 days of trading.
