BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF, ETHA, is significantly underperforming compared to its Bitcoin ETF, IBIT. Robert Mitchnick, BlackRock’s head of digital assets, acknowledged this at the <a href="https://fortune.com/crypto/2024/09/30/blackrock-exec-says-new-ethereum-etf-faces-narrative-challenge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Messari Mainnet conference</a> in New York. He attributed ETHA’s slower asset growth to the more complex investment narrative surrounding Ethereum.
Launched in July, ETHA reached $1 billion in assets under management (AUM) in about a month, a stark contrast to IBIT’s rapid accumulation of $2 billion within 15 days of its January launch. Currently, IBIT boasts $24 billion in assets, while ETHA remains at around $1 billion.
Mitchnick said that while ETHA’s slower growth may seem disappointing compared to IBIT, the overall ETF performance tells a different story.
