BlackRock Ethereum ETF (ETHA) Shares Drop 3%
BlackRock iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) saw its first outflows after 30 consecutive days of inflows on June 20. As a result, the ETHA share price tanked another 3.3%, slipping all the way to $18.27%.
As per the official BlackRock website, the iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) now has assets under management of over $4.04 billion, with its total ETH holdings standing at 1.677 million. With continuous inflows over the past few weeks, ETHA also surpassed more than $5 billion in net inflows since inception, hitting a new milestone.
While BlackRock’s ETHA saw $19 million of outflows, Grayscale ETH saw over $6.6 million in inflows. Thus, the net outflows across all US ETF issuers dropped to $11.6 million. Despite yesterday’s outflows, Ethereum ETF inflows have shown consistent growth, increasing for six consecutive weeks and marking gains in eight of the past nine weeks.
On the other hand, market experts continue to be hopeful of staking on Ethereum ETF. Nate Geraci, a prominent ETF analyst, outlined the advantages of liquidity tokens like stETH in addressing key challenges for spot Ethereum ETFs. Geraci wrote:
“Liquidity tokens such as stETH solve two major issues for spot ETFs. First, they ensure liquidity, which is crucial when ETFs face significant redemptions, as unstaking ETH takes time. Second, they offer higher yield potential by enabling a greater percentage of fund assets to be staked.”

On the other hand, the Ethereum exchange supply has been dropping as the total number of staked Ethereum has been on the rise. Staked Ethereum (ETH) has surged to a new all-time high, surpassing 35 million ETH locked, which now represents over 28.3% of the total supply.
