The bumper inflow day came despite BlackRock’s leading fund, ETHA, showing a net zero flow.

Spot Ether exchange-traded funds in the United States have seen their highest inflows in six weeks as crypto markets gained in the wake of the US presidential election.
The nine recently launched spot Ether (ETH) ETFs in the US have seen a net aggregate inflow of $52.3 million on Nov. 6.
While this is still a fraction of the inflows for spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs, it is still the highest inflow for the Ether funds since Sept. 27, according to Farside Investors.
The bumper inflow day came despite the leading fund, BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), showing a net zero flow.
The majority of the inflows were for the Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH), which had $26.9 million. The rest of the inflows were for the Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH), which had $25.4 million. The remaining 7 spot Ether ETFs had zero flows.
This brings the total net aggregate for all the products to a negative $490 million due to the continued exodus from Grayscale’s high-fee ETHE fund, which has lost $3.1 billion in assets under management since it converted to a spot ETF in July.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs inflow $622M
Meanwhile, the eleven US spot Bitcoin ETFs appeared to have fared better, recording a net inflow of $621.9 million on Nov. 6, reversing a trend of three consecutive trading days of outflows.
It came despite BlackRocks iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) seeing its second day of outflows in a row, losing $69.1 million, according to preliminary data from Farside Investors. It was BlackRock’s biggest volume day ever, with $4.1 billion traded.
The inflow day was led by the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), which had a whopping $308.8 million in inflows, its largest since June 4.
Bitwise, Ark 21Shares, and Grayscale all saw more than $100 million in inflows for their respective products.

Ether had finally awoken from its slumber, surging 10% on the day to hit an intraday high of $2,872 in early trading on Nov. 7, its highest price since early August, according to CoinGecko.
