Ethereum ETFs benefit while Bitcoin struggles in December
Ethereum (ETH) ETFs benefit from a series of positive developments in the past few weeks. While traders await the approval of passing staking benefits to Ether ETFs, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the first Bitcoin-Ethereum ETF and paved the way for further institutional capital inflow to the altcoin.
Research from IntoTheBlock shows that ETF inflows climbed in December. ETF providers have recorded $1.66 billion in new investments, as of December 23. This represents 74% of the $2.24 billion inflows since the inception of Ethereum ETFs.
The biggest gainer is BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust with inflows reaching a single-day high of $292 million on December 5. The second popular choice is Fidelity's FETH and other providers have a modest spread of inflows.
