iShares Ethereum Trust ETF Price & Performance (ETHA)

Ethereum ETFs have experienced significant outflows, with $358 million withdrawn over 11 consecutive days. BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust ETF led the losses, followed by Fidelity and Grayscale funds. Analysts suggest the lack of staking yields and declining Ether prices, down 40% this year, are key factors driving investor hesitation.123

The absence of staking options in Ethereum ETFs is seen as a major drawback, limiting their appeal. BlackRock’s digital asset head emphasized staking's potential to boost returns and attract investors. Proposals to enable staking are under review by the SEC, with the outcome expected to reshape the struggling Ethereum ETF landscape.453

Bitcoin ETFs have seen three consecutive days of inflows, contrasting with Ethereum ETFs' persistent outflows. BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF recorded $218 million in recent inflows, while Ethereum ETFs lost $53 million last week. Market sentiment remains bearish for Ethereum, with analysts pointing to regulatory and structural hurdles.163
