In this case, BlackRock recorded a net Ethereum ETF inflow of $148.8 million, becoming a far higher rival to the only major buyer, according to data obtained by Finbold. Coinglass.
In contrast, some competitors faced intense redemptions. In particular, Fidelity led the sale with a $226.7 million spill followed by Bitiwise at $45.7 million.
Grayscale's Ethe flowed $26.4 million, while its independent Ethereum Trust saw an additional $6.4 million redemption.

On September 2nd, this trend was equally negative, with a total redemption of $135.3 million driven by a large sales at loyal and Bitwise.
BlackRock's Ethereum Investments has played a central role in raising the price of assets in recent weeks, and it is worth noting that ETH has risen to a new all-time high of nearly $5,000.
