Yesterday marked another significant milestone for the cryptocurrency world. We witnessed the trading of Spot Ethereum ETFs in the market. Cryptocurrencies have now become a reality that traditional finance must accept, solidifying their position as an important financial instrument. Let’s take a look at yesterday’s figures together.
First Trading Day of Spot Ethereum ETFs
Yesterday was the first trading day of Spot Ethereum ETFs. The entry of $106.78 million showed investors’ desire to invest in Ethereum. The only exit yesterday, similar to Bitcoin ETFs, occurred on the Grayscale side. Grayscale’s two Spot Ethereum ETFs saw an exit of $484 million from ETHE, while the other saw an entry of $15 million.

As of writing, Bitcoin, the flagship of cryptocurrencies, is at $65,823, while Ethereum, the leader of altcoins, is at $3,440.
