Despite earlier delays and doubts over its performance, the US Spot Ethereum ETF has officially turned one this July 23. These exchange-traded funds have been developed in such a way that they provide regulated exposure to Ethereum with lower risk than direct crypto trading.
Notably, the 1-year anniversary comes with a massive milestone as it hit $8.64 billion net inflow. Interestingly, due to direct competition with Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, the performance of ETH ones faces multiple ups and downs, but still comes out satisfactory.

Even the net flow tracked remained more consistently positive for Ethereum in July, signaling strong market demand and growth. Recently, CoinGape experts have noted that BlackRock is buying 5x more ETH than BTC, hinting that the demand for the former is significantly higher in many events.
This is happening due to building hype around inflow, a bullish Ethereum price rally, potential staking approval, and more. Additionally, the Altcoin Season hype and capital rotation are fueling more inflows towards the US Spot ETH ETF this month.
However, on the broader level, Bitcoin is still winning.
