Historic Speed for Etherum: ETHA Achieves Rapid Pace Among Fastest ETFs Ever
In a groundbreaking development for the cryptocurrency market, the iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), managed by global asset management giant BlackRock, has reached a significant milestone. The ETF, launched in January 2024, has amassed $10 billion in assets under management (AUM) in a remarkable 251 days.
Since the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the listing of nine Ethereum spot ETFs in July 2024, these products have registered over $8.3 billion in net inflows. On July 16, a record $726 million in daily inflows was recorded for Ethereum ETFs, with ETHA leading the flow with over $426 million in a single day.
The rapid growth of ETHA places it behind only two Bitcoin spot funds in terms of speed to reach $10 billion in AUM. This milestone is a testament to the increasing institutional interest in Ethereum and its growing relevance in sectors like asset tokenization, decentralized finance (DeFi), and corporate infrastructure.
Institutional investors, including BlackRock itself, Fidelity, and other large financial institutions like Franklin Templeton, are driving the inflows into ETHA. These entities are also involved in staking-related regulatory developments, further boosting the ETF's appeal.
The combination of robust infrastructure, favourable regulation, and institutional demand is redefining Ethereum's role in traditional portfolios. Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth Management, observed that Ethereum-based funds are showing sustained growth dynamics compared to Bitcoin ETFs, which have over $154 billion in cumulative inflows.
Ethereum is solidifying its position as the institutional standard for asset tokenization and financial innovation. In July 2024, Ethereum ETFs managed a historic high of $20 billion in total assets. This growth has also driven the price of Ethereum, with the cryptocurrency surpassing $3,700 for the first time in 2025, driven by the boom in ETFs and renewed institutional interest.
BlackRock, which also leads institutional investment in Bitcoin with its flagship iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), currently managing over $87 billion in assets, is at the forefront of this Ethereum revolution. The success of ETHA underscores the potential of Ethereum as an asset and the growing demand for regulated vehicles to access the crypto ecosystem.
As other firms develop solutions on the Ethereum network, it is clear that the future of this blockchain infrastructure is bright. With its robust ecosystem, favourable regulatory environment, and increasing institutional interest, Ethereum is poised to play a significant role in the traditional financial landscape.
