December Institutional Buying of Ethereum: ETF Capital Flows Hit Record High, Market Landscape Changes

【Crypto World】In December, Ethereum became the hottest topic in the crypto market. Fidelity’s Ethereum fund attracted $59.25 million, and Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust also didn’t want to be left behind, pulling in $39.21 million. The popularity of these two products reflects the true attitude of institutional investors towards blockchain infrastructure themes—continued increased investment.

An interesting comparison is coming. These spot ETFs directly invest in blockchain projects, and institutions are steadily increasing their holdings. During the same period, leveraged products and volatility products were also traded, but their popularity was noticeably lower. As for Bitcoin ETFs, they didn’t stand out much on the December gain list, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t important—cryptocurrency ETPs have long secured their position in the US ETF market and have become one of the asset classes that institutions must hold.
