BlackRock’s spot Ether exchange-traded fund (ETF) saw $109.9 million in inflows on Aug. 6, bringing its total inflows to $869.8 million since its launch on July 23. 
<a href="https://farside.co.uk/?p=1518" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">According</a> to Farside Investors, it marked the iShares Ethereum Trust’s (ETHA) third biggest flow day as investors looked to capitalize on Ether’s (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price">ETH</a>) 18% price fall on Aug. 5.
The $870 million in inflows puts BlackRock’s <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/spot-ethereum-etf">spot Ether ETF</a> in the top six best-performers of all ETFs launched in 2024, <a href="https://x.com/nategeraci/status/1820976768867823734?s=46&amp;t=MuRujqZUAz3TQE1vmr3c6A" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">according</a> to Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store.
Four of the other five best performers are spot Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) ETFs, including BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, he added. 
BlackRock’s ETHA also scooped up $47.1 million on the crypto industry’s “Black Monday,” which saw over $600 million in <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-crashes-below-53k-wiping-out-600-million-leveraged-longs">leveraged long positions</a> wiped out.
Despite the massive market fall, the combined flows for ETHA on Aug. 5 and 6 alone puts it in the top 10% of ETFs launched in 2024, Geraci added.
All this has been achieved without the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-etfs-outflows-blackrock-bitwise">spot Ether ETF issuers</a> offering staking returns and options trading.

Fidelity’s spot Ethereum ETF saw the second largest inflow on Aug. 6 at $22.5 million, while the Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust and Franklin Ethereum ETF saw $4.7 million and $1 million in inflows, respectively.
“TradFi slurping up that ETH,” <a href="https://x.com/sassal0x/status/1821030491665182919" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">said</a> Anthony Sassano, host of Ethereum show The Daily Gwei.
Grayscale’s higher-fee Ethereum product, the Grayscale Ethereum Trust, was the only spot Ether ETF to record an outflow of $39.7 million.
