Updated: Jan 04 2026- Demand Rebound: On January 2, 2026, Ethereum ETFs recorded $174.5 million in net inflows, indicating a significant recovery in institutional interest at the start of the year, reflecting improved market sentiment.
- Inflow Scale: This inflow marks the largest single-day total since mid-December, suggesting that large allocators are stepping back into the market as year-end tax-related selling pressure eases, stabilizing Ethereum demand.
- Institutional Participation: Grayscale-led products accounted for over $100 million of the day's inflows, signaling a recovery in institutional allocation decisions after weeks of redemptions, which could positively impact the market.
- Market Outlook: Should the inflow trend persist beyond the first trading week of January, it may provide structural demand for Ethereum ETFs, potentially boosting spot market activity and indicating renewed institutional engagement.
