As BlackRock's ETHA continues to gain ground, its success reflects broader trends in the cryptocurrency investment space. Ethereum-focused investment products saw record-breaking inflows this week, reaching a total of $1.2 billion and exceeding previous highs set in July.
Will BlackRock launch Solana (SOL) ETF, though?
This has led to a drop inSolana, which has seen $14 million in outflows for two weeks running, according to CoinShares analyst James Butterfill.
BlackRock's overall performance has also been pretty impressive. ItsBitcoin ETF, IBIT, is now equal to the combined size of 50 European-based ETFs, which shows that its influence extends beyond just Ethereum investments.
Meanwhile, ETHA is in the top four for ETF launches, just behind leaders like IBIT and FBTC. It has strong momentum and could close the gap before the end of the year and come in third among all ETFs.
