Spot Ethereum ETFs Record Best Weekly Performance, 10-Day Inflow Streak Continues

Cointime Official

From bitcoinist by Opeyemi Sule

The spot Ethereum ETFs (exchange-traded funds) in the United States have continued their impressive form, posting their tenth consecutive day of positive inflows to close the week. This strong performance reflects the growing positive sentiment amongst investors following the recent US presidential elections.

The streak of capital influx would also mark a great start to the month of December for the US-based Ethereum ETFs, which are yet to enjoy an extended period of strong inflows. Unsurprisingly, this latest positivity has also translated to the ETH price action, which recently crossed $4,000 for the first time since March 2024.

Spot Ethereum ETFs Register Fourth-Largest Trading Volume

The latest data from SoSoValue shows that the United States Ethereum ETF market registered a net inflow of $83.3 million on Friday, December 6. This brings the exchange-traded funds’ record to ten straight days of capital inflows, the longest such streak since the ETFs launched in July 2024.

Surprisingly, the most significant portion of the value added to the Ethereum ETFs came from Fidelity’s Ethereum Fund (with the ticker FETH). According to market data, the Fidelity ETF led the group with approximately $47.9 million in inflows on Friday.

BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (with the ticker ETHA) followed with an inflow of over $34.56 million. Meanwhile, Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH) and Bitwise Ethereum ETF (ETHW)contributed $22.9 million and $13.45 million, respectively.

It is worth mentioning that the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (with the ticker ETHE) and 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF (with the ticker CETH) logged outflows of $29.59 million and $6.9 million, respectively.

This $83.3 million single-day performance brings the total net inflow to over $836.69 million over the past week, the highest weekly performance for the Ethereum ETFs since launch. This is a massive increase from the previous record from mid-November, which stood at $515 million.

Friday also marked the fourth-highest volume trading day for the Ethereum exchange-traded funds since hitting the market. According to data from SoSoValue, a total value of $992.52 million was traded on the day to close the week.

Ethereum Price At A Glance

As of this writing, ETH is valued at around $4,000, reflecting a 0.4% price decline in the past 24 hours. The altcoin’s record on a broader timeframe is much more remarkable, with the Ethereum price up by more than 10% in the past seven days.

  • Analyst Andrew Sacher: Waller's Remarks Undermine Market Dovish Expectations

    On August 28, analyst Andrew Sacher stated: "Previously, some believed that Federal Reserve Chairman Waller advocated for using alternative inflation measures to select the one most favorable to him. However, in this speech, his approach was quite the opposite. He dissected PCE inflation and found that 49% of its components had an annualized price increase exceeding 3%, categorizing this level as 'quite high.' His discussion on the labor market was also hawkish, focusing on low unemployment rates and initial jobless claims. The usually closely watched non-farm payroll numbers were only briefly mentioned."

  • Walsh Emphasizes Anti-Inflation Efforts as U.S. Short-Term Treasury Yields Rise

    On August 28, U.S. short-term Treasury yields increased. Federal Reserve Chairman Walsh, in a highly anticipated speech, emphasized the need for the Fed to curb rising consumer prices, alleviating some market concerns about its ability to combat inflation. During Walsh's speech, short-term U.S. Treasuries were sold off while long-term Treasuries rose. The yield on the two-year Treasury increased by 5 basis points to 4.28%, while the 30-year yield fell by 1 basis point to 5.19%. These changes indicate that the market expects the Fed may need to raise short-term rates. Since Walsh's first press conference in June, bond traders have had doubts about his policy stance. At that time, Walsh stressed the need to lower inflation and displayed a hawkish stance. Since the global economy reopened from the pandemic in 2021, U.S. inflation has remained above the Fed's 2% target. However, in July, the Fed kept rates unchanged, and Walsh did not indicate whether a rate hike might occur this year. Subsequently, long-term Treasury yields rose significantly as traders demanded higher returns to compensate for the risks posed by escalating inflation. On Friday, Walsh warned that inflation had not shown meaningful signs of slowing and stated that policymakers must be confident that inflation is improving; otherwise, the central bank 'has work to do.' He also reiterated that policymakers will bring the inflation rate back to the 2% target, emphasizing that this goal is clear and fixed.

  • Waller Signals Hawkish Stance, Sees No Restrictive Financial Conditions

    On August 28, in a speech that was more hawkish than many market participants expected, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Waller cited a series of indicators showing a strong economic condition, including high corporate profits, stable consumer spending, and narrowing credit spreads. Waller stated, "In my view, the credit and loan markets show almost no signs that monetary policy is becoming restrictive. Overall, I find it difficult to describe the current overall financial conditions as restrictive." This statement boosted Wall Street's bets on interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.

  • Waller Signals Rate Hike as Fed Focuses on Inflation

    On August 28, Federal Reserve Chairman Waller stated on Friday that if policymakers cannot be confident that inflation is returning to 2% "in a clear and sufficiently rapid manner," the Fed "has work to do." This suggests that if price pressures do not improve, the Fed may consider raising rates in its next move. Waller made it clear that he still supports the Fed's long-standing policy path of managing inflation through interest rate adjustments. This significantly increases the likelihood of a rate hike in the near future, which may put him at odds with President Trump, who has long sought rate cuts. This statement effectively eliminates the ambiguity left previously. At a press conference at the end of July, Waller had refrained from responding extensively to whether a rate hike was necessary to address the inflation issue, which has significantly risen this year and has been above the Fed's target for over five consecutive years.
