- 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.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
