Spot Ether exchange-traded funds are selling like hot cakes in the US, attracting more than 10 times the inflows of their spot Bitcoin counterparts over the past five trading days. 

Since Aug. 21, spot Ether ETFs have seen a whopping $1.83 billion in inflows, while Bitcoin funds took only a 10th of that with $171 million,  according  to CoinGlass. 

The latest trading day on Wednesday continued the trend, with nine Ether 

ETH$4,596funds reaching $310.3 million in inflows, while the 11 spot BitcoinBTC$113,119funds saw just $81.1 million. 

Ether has recovered faster than Bitcoin this week, with ETH prices climbing 5% from their  Tuesday low , whereas Bitcoin only managed to gain 2.8% over the same period. 

The massive shift to Ether was not missed by industry observers such as Ethereum educator and investor Anthony Sassano, who  described  it as “brutal.”

Meanwhile, NovaDius Wealth Management president Nate Geraci  added  that spot Ether ETFs are now close to $10 billion in inflows since the start of July.

Spot Ether ETFs have been trading for 13 months and have seen $13.6 billion in total aggregate inflows, the majority of which has come in the last couple of months.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs have been around longer, trading for 20 months with an aggregate inflow of $54 billion. 

The Wall Street token

The momentum has seemingly been shifting to Ethereum following the passing of the  GENIUS Act  stablecoin legislation in July, as the network has the largest market share of stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets. 

“It’s very much what I call the Wall Street token,” said VanEck CEO Jan van Eck, speaking on Fox Business this week. 

Meanwhile, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart  reported  that  investment advisers  were the top holders of Ether ETFs with $1.3 billion in exposure. According to SEC filings, Goldman Sachs is the top holder with $712 million in exposure.
