Ethereum ETF inflows have accelerated significantly in December, with providers recording $1.66 billion in new investments, representing 74% of the $2.24 billion total inflows since inception.

BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust (ticker ETHA) leads the pack, with inflows reaching a single-day high of $292 million on Dec. 5. This highlights the asset manager's continued influence in the crypto ETF space.

Fidelity's FETH stands as the second most popular choice, though it often has lower inflows compared to BlackRock's offering. Other ETH ETF providers have seen relatively modest investor interest, contrasting with the broader distribution of inflows observed across Bitcoin ETF products.

The current ETH ETF landscape shows a concentrated market structure.  Total assets under management  across all Ethereum ETF products currently stand at approximately $11 billion.

Grayscale's ETHE maintains a substantial presence, accounting for over $5 billion of the total AUM. However, this dynamic is evolving, as ETHE has seen continued outflows in recent weeks.

The recent inflow patterns suggest a growing institutional preference for exploring different crypto assets outside of Bitcoin. These substantial inflows come as Ethereum's market capitalization hovers around $474 billion, indicating increasing institutional comfort with crypto assets beyond Bitcoin.

The ratio of ETF inflows to market cap suggests growing institutional confidence in Ethereum as a financial asset. The concentration of flows in major providers like BlackRock points to a preference for traditional financial infrastructure when accessing crypto markets.
