In a new post on X, the institutional DeFi solutions provider Sentora (formerly known as IntoTheBlock) spoke about the latest trend: Ethereum spot ETFs. 🌐💰
Spot ETFs are investment tools that allow investors to gain exposure to an underlying asset, like ETH, without directly owning it. Imagine buying a ticket to a concert without actually having the band’s album. 🎵🔥
These ETFs are traded on traditional platforms, so investors unfamiliar with wallets or crypto exchanges can simply choose to invest in cryptocurrencies through these vehicles. It’s like buying a lottery ticket without knowing how to play the lottery. 🎟️😂
This path into digital assets is relatively new: BTC received SEC approval for spot ETFs at the beginning of 2024, and ETH followed suit halfway through the year. 🏃♂️💨
Typically, Bitcoin spot ETFs tend to outperform those on Ethereum in terms of capital flows, given Bitcoin’s larger market size and greater interest. However, things have taken a surprising turn. As Sentora explains:
The ETFs on ETH have surpassed those on BTC for seven consecutive days, a trend that might indicate a growing rotation among investors and a strengthening sentiment towards ETH. It’s like suddenly everyone wants to switch from coffee to tea. ☕🍵
It’s worth noting that, even though ETH has outperformed BTC in this period, it doesn’t mean the coin has only seen inflows. According to data from SoSoValue, ETH ETFs experienced outflows just before this surge. 📉📈
Net Flows of Ethereum ETFs
Even during outflows, Ethereum spot ETFs performed better than Bitcoin’s, with smaller losses. In recent days, net flows have turned positive again, with $455 million in net inflows recorded on Tuesday. It’s like the tide turning after a brief ebb. 🌊🌊
Before the recent negative flows, ETH spot ETFs had recorded weekly net inflows since May, as highlighted by the chart shared by on-chain analytics firm Glassnode. 📊📊
Last week, institutional investors broke the multi-week run of inflows into US spot #Ethereum ETFs with -105K $ETH in net outflows. However, this week opened on a positive note, with +16.9K #ETH added to positions yesterday.

The week that broke the positive streak saw a net outflow of about 105,000 ETH ($486 million). Whether this week will end on a green note remains to be seen. 🤞🌟
Active Addresses on Ethereum
Another indicator showing a recent decline for ETH is the number of Active Addresses, as reported by Sentora in another post on X. 📈📉
- Approximately 3.8 million addresses participated in transactions on the Ethereum blockchain last week.
- This figure is down from the peak in early August but remains high compared to previous bull markets. It’s like the party is still going strong, even if some guests have left early. 🎉🚶♂️
