Despite the Ether ETFs seeing net outflows throughout this week, ETH Store President Nate Geraci calls it a success. He said that excluding the <a href="https://coingape.com/ethereum-etf-show-promise-despite-grayscale-outflows-bloomberg-analyst/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Grayscale Ethereum ETF</a> (ETHE), $1 billion has flown into other ETF products this week. Although some investments have been recycled, Geraci believes that this was not the primary driver.
With investors gaining $1 billion of exposure through the traditional investment ETF channel, Geraci terms it a major success.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
 Ex-ETHE, well over $1bil came into spot eth ETFs this week…
 A portion was clearly recycled from ETHE, but nowhere close to primary driver IMO.
 Think highly successful debut.
 Another way to think of this is investors wanted $1+bil eth exposure via tradfi rails.
 In *4* days.

The <a href="https://coingape.com/price/ethereum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum price</a> has seen strong volatility this week amid the launch of the Ether ETFs. Earlier this week, the ETH price tanked all the way to $3,150 levels. However, it has partially recovered from the weekly bottom and is currently trading at $3,265.

The launch of Ethereum ETF has been a sell-the-news event with analysts expecting a few more weeks of consolidation before resuming the bull journey ahead. Popular crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe predicts believe that the ETH price could double from here by the end of the year.

 It’s interesting, isn’t it? In the past years, we’ve seen the second half of the year where <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Altcoins?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Altcoins</a> accelerated massively.
 In the first half of the year: downwards only.
