The long-awaited record has finally arrived: for 20 consecutive days, Ethereum has seen inflows — meaning a steady stream of capital entering its ETF. This is a result of enormous significance, sealed on a day that proved challenging for the markets, mainly due to macroeconomic factors of considerable importance.

Twenty straight days of inflows are a clear confirmation of the almost obsessive attention being paid to the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

This achievement has been driven primarily by BlackRock and Fidelity, whose ETFs — considered the most appealing to large investors — have continued to attract substantial amounts over the past month, particularly in BlackRock’s case.

Ethereum ETF Hits Record
Twenty consecutive days of capital inflows — which, given the specific mechanics of ETFs, means demand has exceeded the supply of fund shares. This is a highly significant result that confirms, among other things, that investor appetite for Ethereum has finally blossomed, even if it comes a full year after these products were first launched.

All this is happening while the market still awaits the SEC’s green light for staking — a feature that would allow these ETFs to generate yield, making them even more attractive to investors.

The Current Situation
At present, holding an ETF is less advantageous compared to liquid staking tokens such as stETH, or even staking Ethereum directly.

The nearly 3% yield available through staking still leaves ETFs at a competitive disadvantage. This is precisely why the performance achieved by U.S. Ethereum ETFs is all the more remarkable.
