Ethereum ETF Inflows Return
Data from SoSoValue shows that the nine U.S.-based Ethereum ETFs collectively recorded $288 million in inflows on August 21, ending a four-day losing streak that had drained nearly $926 million from the sector.
BlackRock’s ETHA was the clear standout, bringing in $233 million — more than 80% of the day’s total. Fidelity’s FETH followed with $29 million, while the other issuers managed between $6–7 million each.
Despite ETH’s recent decline, the renewed institutional activity signals that investor confidence in Ethereum remains intact.
At press time, ETH trades just above $4,238, slipping 0.72% over the last 24 hours. While still down about 8% this week, Ethereum has climbed 15% this month after its push above $4,700 lost steam.
Ethereum vs. Bitcoin ETFs
While Ethereum funds have started to stabilize, Bitcoin ETFs remain under pressure. The group registered $194 million in net outflows on the same day, marking their fifth consecutive session of withdrawals and totaling nearly $1.2 billion in losses.
The latest redemptions were concentrated among five major issuers — BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, Ark 21Shares, and Franklin Templeton — while the other seven funds saw no activity.
At the time of writing, BTC trades at $113,216, down 5% for the week and about 8.8% below its monthly peak of $124,128.
