BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) has reached $10 billion in assets under management (AUM), establishing itself as one of the fastest-growing exchange-traded funds in history by achieving this milestone in just 251 days.
The rapid accumulation of assets underscores significantly increasing investor interest in Ethereum ETFs. This growth is driven by favorable market trends and evolving regulatory clarity, including progress associated with the GENIUS Act.
While demonstrating strong appeal, Ethereum ETFs have collectively attracted over $1.1 billion in inflows since their launch. However, they still lag significantly behind the established dominance of Bitcoin ETFs, which collectively hold over $140 billion in AUM.
The unprecedented growth trajectory of ETHA signals a notable market shift. Investor sentiment shows a rising inclination towards Ethereum-based investment vehicles, paralleling increasing institutional interest and broader adoption within the market ecosystem.
This milestone represents a major indication of the accelerating institutional embrace of Ethereum as an asset class through regulated financial instruments like ETFs.
