Ethereum ETFs see $1.42B inflows over 9 days, led by BlackRock, but spot volume remains weak.
U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $1.42 billion in net inflows over nine consecutive sessions ending August 28, 2026, with BlackRock's ETHA fund accounting for 72% of the total. This surge narrowed the inflow gap with Bitcoin ETFs to just $16.5 million on the last day. Despite strong inflows, Ethereum's price rose only about 5%, lagging behind Bitcoin's 15% gain on larger inflows, partly due to weak spot trading volume at the 16th percentile year-on-year. The dominance of BlackRock and lack of broader market volume raise concerns about the sustainability of this buying momentum. Investors will watch spot volume, Ethereum's 200 week moving average, and Grayscale's ETHE outflows to gauge future price direction and flow efficiency.
