Since November 22, Ethereum spot ETFs have demonstrated unwavering investor interest, marking 10 consecutive trading days of positive net flows. This streak represents the strongest run for ETH spot ETFs since their launch in July, underscoring heightened demand among institutional and retail investors alike.
Record-Breaking Daily and Weekly Inflows
Between November 22 and December 6, December 5 emerged as the most prolific day, with spot ETFs recording $428 million in net inflows—the highest single-day inflow volume over the past seven months. During the 10 days, Ethereum spot ETFs accumulated $1.39 billion in net positive flows, bringing their total trading volume since launch to $13.36 billion as of December 6, well above the $10 billion milestone.
In addition to these daily milestones, the ETFs posted their highest weekly inflow, with $836.7 million recorded between December 2 and December 6. Leading the charge were BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), which saw $520 million in net inflows, and Fidelity’s Ethereum Fund, which contributed $276 million during the same period. These two funds have recently been the primary drivers of Ethereum spot ETF activity.
ETH Price Surge Boosts ETF Performance
The robust performance of Ethereum spot ETFs coincides with a remarkable rally in the price of Ether (ETH) over the past several weeks. The announcement of Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential elections catalyzed an overall bullish sentiment in the cryptocurrency market, benefiting ETH.
Since November 6, the price of Ether has risen by 50%, significantly outperforming Bitcoin (BTC), which saw a 33% increase during the same period. This surge briefly pushed ETH above the $4,000 threshold over the weekend, reinforcing its position as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
In November, Ether recorded its best monthly on-chain volume since December 2021, with $184 billion transacted. While this is an impressive achievement, it remains far from the May 2021 record of $405 billion. Furthermore, the rise in ETH prices has positively impacted the valuation of most blue-chip NFT collections on the Ethereum blockchain, reflecting the broader ecosystem’s growth.
Current Market Trends
Despite its recent gains, Ether’s price has experienced a slight pullback in the last 24 hours, dropping around 4%. ETH is trading near $3,850 at the time of writing, suggesting some short-term consolidation following its recent rally.
