Top 15 Ethereum ETFs for Investment in 2025

Ethereum ETFs have become a popular investment option in 2025, offering easy and secure access to ETH exposure without the need for a crypto wallet. Top performers include BlackRock's iShares ETHA, Fidelity's FETH, Bitwise ETHW, and ultra-low-cost Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust. Fees have tumbled, with most top ETFs charging under 0.25% per year. Staking ETPs in Europe add yield, while U.S. products are pure spot ETH trackers. Liquidity and AUM have risen fast, attracting institutional investors and increasing stability and transparency for retail buyers.

Ethereum ETFs have become a prominent investment option in 2025, providing investors with a secure and accessible way to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency without the need for a crypto wallet. The top performers in July included BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), Fidelity's Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH), Bitwise Ethereum ETF (ETHW), and the ultra-low-cost Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust. Fees for these top ETFs have fallen, with most charging under 0.25% per year.

The month of July saw a significant surge in institutional demand for digital assets, with U.S.-listed crypto ETFs collectively recording $12.8 billion in net inflows, the highest on record [2]. Spot Ethereum ETFs captured $5.43 billion of this inflow, representing a nearly 369% increase from June [2]. This performance outpaced Bitcoin ETFs, which attracted $6 billion in net inflows, marking their third-best month on record [2].

BlackRock's Ethereum ETF, iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), led the exodus with $375 million in outflows on Aug. 4 alone [1]. The fund, which attracted $4.2 billion in inflows during July's rally, saw its five-day outflow total reach $112.8 million [1]. The Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) posted $78 million in outflows over the five-day period, while the Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH) experienced $75.7 million in outflows [1]. The broader crypto retreat, including a 5% decline in Ether over the past week, also pressured other ETFs such as the Bitwise Ethereum ETF (ETHW) and the VanEck Ethereum ETF (ETHV) [1].

Despite the recent outflows, spot Ethereum ETFs have attracted $6.4 billion in net inflows year to date, reflecting the broader crypto momentum as Ethereum outpaced Bitcoin's gains during the month [1]. The funds' July performance surge was driven by growing speculative activity and DeFi-related interest, drawing 13% more capital than Bitcoin ETFs over the past two months [2].

The Federal Reserve’s decision to hold interest rates steady between 4.25% and 4.5% also influenced market behavior, as investors weighed the implications for risk assets like cryptocurrencies [2]. Despite this, the inflows into Ethereum ETFs remained robust, signaling continued confidence in the asset’s long-term potential.

The market's resilience was tested by a sharp outflow from Bitcoin ETFs, with a single-day exodus of $812.25 million marking the second-largest outflow in the history of such products [4]. In contrast, Ethereum ETFs continued to attract capital, reinforcing their role as a leading asset in the ETF-driven crypto market [9].

The broader crypto market showed mixed signals, with the CoinDesk 20 Index reflecting a cooling trend in August [5]. Nonetheless, the institutional demand demonstrated in July underscored the sector’s potential for sustained growth. If macroeconomic and regulatory conditions remain favorable, the momentum seen in the second half of 2025 could extend into the next quarter.
