Spot Ether ETF Trading Volume Drops as Market Remains Volatile

In the broader ETF market, U.S. spot ether ETFs showed mixed performance. The Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) saw $16.95 million in outflows, the only spot ether ETF to report a loss on Wednesday. However, the Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH), the second-largest spot ether ETF by net assets, reported inflows of $2.26 million after two days of zero activity.

BlackRock’s ETHA led the spot ether ETFs with $16.13 million in inflows. Fidelity’s FETH followed with $6.65 million, and Bitwise’s ETHW logged $2.67 million in net inflows.

Overall, the total trading volume for the nine ether ETFs amounted to $155.91 million on Wednesday, a drop from $190.76 million on Tuesday and $285.96 million on Monday. The mixed performance of spot ether ETFs also reflects the ongoing fluctuations in the crypto market. This highlights the need for investors to monitor closely.
