ETHE has been a prominent player in the market offering investors exposure to Ethereum without the need to directly purchase and store the cryptocurrency since 2017.
While ETHE experienced substantial outflows, other spot Ether ETFs are showing different trends. The Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF (ETH) reported no outflows, maintaining its current net inflows of $201 million.
The Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) recorded the most significant net inflows yesterday, with over $6 million added. This influx of capital brings FETH’s total net inflows to $297 million.
