BlackRock has filed for Ethereum (ETH) in-kind redemptions amid ongoing discussions with the SEC regarding Ethereum staking on spot ETFs. Over the past week, Ethereum has surged approximately 42%, breaking a 22-week downtrend, while Bitcoin (BTC) remains steady around $105,000. ETF flows reveal contrasting investor behavior: Bitcoin ETFs saw $867 million inflows compared to $1.5 million for Ethereum, yet Ethereum's price performance outpaced Bitcoin's. BlackRock has been a consistent net buyer of Bitcoin ETFs for 20 consecutive trading days, while Ethereum ETFs have experienced net outflows, except for some institutional interest from Hong Kong. Notably, 76,800 ETH were transferred to Binance Beacon, and 324,000 ETH were withdrawn from exchanges with over 180,000 ETH moved into staking, indicating a shift toward long-term holding. In the last 24 hours, Ethereum ETFs recorded inflows of $13.37 million, contrasted by Bitcoin ETF outflows of $96.14 million. Additionally, Abraxis borrowed $240 million USDT to stake 211,000 ETH, and a whale transaction exchanged 200 wrapped BTC for 7,900 ETH. The recent Ethereum price rally has been supported by real spot demand and developments such as the Pectra upgrade, contributing to increased ETH trading volume surpassing Bitcoin's.This is an AI-generated article powered by DeepNewz, curated by The Defiant.
