- Ether ETF volumes pushed past $1 billion on the first day of trading, with $106.78 million in net flow.
- In comparison, the bitcoin ETFs had $4.5 billion in trading volume on their first day, and $600 million in net flow.
Investors traded over $1 billion worth of shares of the freshly launched ether exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuers on the first day of their availability, data from Bloomberg shows.
Of this $1 billion, there was a net inflow of $106.7 million, according to a tracker from SoSoValue. Most of the outflow came from Grayscale's Ethereum Trust (ETHE), which saw $484 million in outflow.

The spot bitcoin ETFs, for example, saw $4.5 billion in trading volume on launch day but only roughly $600 million of that represented inflows.
The BlackRock iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) had the most inflow at $266.5 million, followed by Bitwise's Ethereum ETF (ETHW) at $204 million.
With the overall trading volume maxing out at $1.077 billion, the funds saw roughly 20% of the trading volume that the spot bitcoin ETFs experienced on launch day in January.
Many market observers had speculated that volume and flow for the ETH ETFs would be underwhelming due to a lack of staking mechanism.
Ether is currently trading below $3500, according to CoinDesk Indices data.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
