The overall trading volume of exchange-traded funds (ETF) based on Ethereum (ETH) spot quotes exceeded $1 billion on the first day, with net inflows into the funds totaling $106 million overnight. For the convenience of market participants, Nansen launched a new tool to track data on spot Ethereum ETFs.
The trading volume of spot Ethereum ETFs showed very high values on the first day. According to Eric Balchunas, ETF Analyst for Bloomberg, the combined trading volume of eight spot Ethereum ETFs was ~$1.08 billion on July 23.
The Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) and BlackRock iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) funds saw the highest trading volume at $458 million and $248.7 million, respectively. Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) was in the top three with a turnover of $137.2 million, followed by Bitwise Ethereum ETF (ETHW) with $94.3 million. The worst result on the first day was shown by 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF (CETH), whose trading volume amounted to only $8.6 million.
The trading volume of spot Ethereum ETFs on the first day amounted to about 23% of the similar indicator of spot Bitcoin ETFs. The trading volume of spot Bitcoin ETFs on the first day exceeded $4.5 billion.
The net inflow of funds into spot Ethereum ETFs at the end of the first trading day amounted to $106.6 million, according to FarSide. Leading the way were investment products from BlackRock and Bitwise, with net inflows of $266.5 million and $204 million, respectively. The Fidelity fund was third, with $71.3 million in net inflows for the day. Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) lost about 5% of its capitalization over the day — investors took $484.9 million from the fund. Analysts explain this trend by the high fees of the fund, as well as the six-month investment blocking period established by Grayscale. Notably, the Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH) fund showed a net inflow of $15.2 million over the day, as the fund has no fees until it reaches $2 billion of assets under management.
Amidst the success of Ethereum investment products, analytics firm Nansen unveiled the ETH ETF Dashboard, a first-of-its-kind tool that tracks various metrics of spot Ethereum ETFs in real-time. The solution will allow market participants to more accurately track capital flows and trends in the ETF market.
The ETH ETF Dashboard provides detailed information on different metrics, including trading volumes, capital inflows, and other key indicators that help investors make more informed decisions and better understand market dynamics. The Smart Alert feature will allow traders to use templates with pre-populated criteria to receive notifications about asset movements on Telegram, Discord, or Slack.
Spot Ethereum ETFs started trading in the United States on June 23 after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved their issuance.
