In contrast, Ethereum ETFs experienced net outflows. BlackRock’s ETHA gained $70.9 million, Fidelity’s FETH added $34.3 million, Bitwise’s ETHW increased by $16.3 million, and VanEck’s ETHV grew by $8.0 million. However, Grayscale’s ETHE saw significant outflows of $346.2 million, leading to an overall decrease of $152.4 million in net change for Ethereum ETFs.
