U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded their strongest day in nearly a year on Thursday, drawing in $225.8 million in net inflows. This marks the ninth consecutive session of positive net asset accumulation for these funds, bringing the total to $1.42 billion since August 17. The performance has significantly closed the gap with their Bitcoin counterparts, with Bitcoin ETFs attracting $242.3 million on the same day. BlackRock's ETHA fund has been a dominant force, accounting for $1.02 billion, or 72% of the total inflows over the nine-day period. Fidelity's FETH saw its best day of the streak with $56.2 million in inflows on Thursday, followed by BlackRock's ETHB with $20.7 million. Analysts suggest that increased cross-asset risk appetite in traditional markets is a key driver for this trend, though Ethereum has lagged some higher-beta altcoins in recent weeks.
