United States-listed spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) generated around $1.08 billion in cumulative trading volume on their first day of trading — roughly 23% of what spot Bitcoin ETFs saw on their opening day.
The converted Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) and BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) saw the most volume on July 23, with $458 million and $248.7 million, respectively, <a href="https://x.com/EricBalchunas/status/1815848912185377005" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">according</a> to preliminary data from Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas. 
The Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) and Bitwise Ethereum ETF (ETHW) rounded out the top four with $137.2 million and $94.3 million, respectively, while the 21Shares-issued spot Ether ETF came in last, failing to crack the $10 million mark. 
Balchunas said the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ether-etfs-trading-preliminary-inflow-data-revealed">$625 million in volume</a> seen from the “Newborn Eight” products — excluding Grayscale’s ETHE — was “healthy” and expects a “sizeable chunk” of that sum will convert to inflows.

Fellow Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart expects the inflows to range between $125 million and $325 million, but that will depend on how many investors these firms have lined up.
In January, spot Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) ETFs saw $655.2 million in inflows on its first day of trading, including a $95 million outflow from Grayscale’s converted Bitcoin ETF.

It comes a day after the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/spot-ethereum-etfs-begin-trading-sec-approval">US securities regulator made effective</a> the final S-1 forms necessary for the products to launch on the Nasdaq, NYSE Arca and <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/cboe-official-launch-date-spot-ethereum-etf">Chicago Board Options Exchange</a>.
Fidelity, 21Shares, Bitwise, Franklin and VanEck&nbsp;<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-etfs-coming-what-you-need-know">have waived fees</a> on their ETFs for a set period or until the products reach a certain amount in net assets.
After that, all spot Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price">ETH</a>) ETFs barring ETHE will offer a base fee between 0.15% and 0.25%.&nbsp;ETHE’s fee remains at 2.5%.
BlackRock offers a discounted fee of 0.12% for the first 12 months or until the fund reaches $2.5 billion in net assets, whichever comes first. After that, it will increase to 0.25%.
The Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust will start at a 0.12% fee and move to 0.25% after 12 months or $2 billion in net assets is reached, while the Invesco Galaxy-issued spot Ether ETF is set at 0.25%.
