BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum ETF (ETHA) has reached $10 billion in assets under management (AUM) just 251 days after its launch in the United States. The rapid growth makes ETHA one of the fastest-growing exchange-traded funds (ETFs) worldwide.
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas reported that ETHA grew from $5 billion to $10 billion in only 10 days. He described this growth as the “equivalent of a God candle.” ETHA now ranks as the third-fastest ETF globally to reach the $10 billion level, outpacing the JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPQ), which took 444 days to reach the same amount.
Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth Management, noted, “The three fastest ETFs to hit the $10 billion mark are now all spot crypto ETFs,” highlighting the rare speed at which these products are gaining assets. The ETF sector includes almost 4,400 products and has existed for over 30 years, according to Geraci’s comment on X.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) remains the fastest-growing ETF ever, hitting $10 billion in managed assets just 34 days after its January 2024 launch. Fidelity Investments’ Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) followed, reaching the milestone in 54 days.
In July, U.S. Ether ETFs saw a 14-day streak of inflows, totaling $4.4 billion since July 3, according to SoSoValue data. This includes a daily record inflow of $726.7 million, the highest since the ETF’s debut. During the same period, spot Bitcoin ETFs faced outflows of $289 million over three days after a prior streak of 12 consecutive days of inflows, as reported by SoSoValue.
These developments underscore the growing appeal of cryptocurrency ETFs among investors, as traditional finance ETFs see comparatively slower asset growth. Industry sources report that crypto ETFs now hold the top three spots for fastest growth to $10 billion in ETF history.
