United States Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) posted net inflows of $106.6 million on their first day of trading despite massive outflows from Grayscale’s freshly-converted Ethereum Trust.
BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) led the pack with $266.5 million of inflows, followed closely by the Bitwise Ethereum ETF (ETHW) with $204 million in net inflows. 
The Fidelity Ethereum Fund ETF (FETH) came in third with $71.3 million.

The inflows to the “newborn” spot Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price">ETH</a>) ETFs were enough to overcome bleeding from the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE), which saw outflows of $484.9 million on the day, amounting to 5% of the once $9 billion fund. 
ETHE was launched by Grayscale in 2017, allowing institutional investors to buy ETH. However, it imposed a six-month lock-up period on all investments. 
Its conversion to a spot ETF means that investors can more easily sell their shares, which could explain the high day-one outflows. 
In January, spot Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) ETFs were marred by a similar dynamic with the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/grayscale-gbtc-inflows-record-bitcoin-exchange-traded-fund-etf">which saw over $17.5 billion</a> in outflows following the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/sec-spot-bitcoin-etf-approvals"></a><a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/sec-spot-bitcoin-etf-approvals">launch of the 11 spot BTC ETFs</a>.

Meanwhile, Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust — a <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/grayscale-announces-bitcoin-etf-spinoff">spinoff product launched</a> by the asset manager with lower fees — generated $15.2 million in new inflows. 
Franklin Templeton’s Franklin Ethereum ETF (EZET) netted $13.2 million, while 21Shares’ Core Ethereum ETF (CETH) saw $7.4 million in inflows. 
Overall, spot ETH ETFs&nbsp;<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/spot-ethereum-etfs-surpass-1-billion-trading-volume-on-day-1">generated $1.08 billion in cumulative</a> trading volume on their first day of trading, 23% of the volume that Bitcoin ETFs saw on their debut.
