This trading volume represented more than 23% of what BTC ETFs achieved on their first day, highlighting the market’s strong reception to Ethereum-based financial products. 
Ishares ETH Trust (ETHA) notably outperformed its counterparts, recording $694.5 million on its inaugural trading day, surpassing ETHE, which posted $248 million. This robust performance underscores the growing market preference for <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/ethereum-etf-custody-risks-experts-express-concerns-over-single-custodian-strategy/">Ethereum ETFs</a>, attributed to Ethereum’s relative affordability and potential for growth.

His analysis pointed out that ETHA and other Ethereum ETFs ranked exceptionally high in first-day trading volumes compared to hundreds of other new launches, emphasizing the unusual and significant impact of these ETFs.

The launch also movements among large-scale investors, or “whales.” Data from Santiment indicated a substantial increase in ETH transactions exceeding $100,000 in value, suggesting that major investors are adjusting their positions in anticipation of future price movements.

Despite the high trading volumes, Ethereum’s price has seen a slight decline, trading at $3,449, down by 0.06% over the past 24 hours and 1.10% over the week. The price decrease suggests that while the ETF approval spurred trading activity, it did not immediately translate into higher prices for ETH.
