Ethereum ETFs Gain Momentum

  • Earlier in September, ETHA experienced $787 million in outflows, impacting the broader crypto market.
  • Recent data indicates a reversal with Ethereum spot funds seeing $638 million in net inflows, led by Fidelity's FETH at $381 million.

  • By September 12, Ethereum ETFs managed $30.35 billion in assets, with BlackRock holding over half at $17.25 billion.

Comparative Positioning and Market Analysis

  • Ethereum DATs hold more than 3.1% of total ETH supply, with firms like BitMine Immersion accumulating aggressively.
  • Crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe anticipates increased volatility in Ethereum, with potential corrective dips below $4,100 or upward movements toward $5,000–$5,200.
