BlackRock’s spot Ether exchange-traded fund (ETF) has emerged as one of the fastest-growing ETFs ever, joining the ranks alongside two other cryptocurrency funds.
BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum ETF (ETHA) has become the third-fastest ETF to hit $10 billion in total assets under management (AUM), Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas reported on Thursday.
“Amazingly, it [ETHA] went from $5 billion to $10 billion in just 10 days,” Balchunas noted, calling the surge the “equivalent of a God candle.”
With this milestone, ETHA is now one of the top three fastest-growing ETFs globally, with each of them being spot crypto ETFs.
ETHA breaks $10 billion in just 251 days
According to data from Eric Balchunas, BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum ETF reached $10 billion in assets in just 251 days since its launch one year ago.
The milestone puts ETHA well ahead of the JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPQ), which took 444 days to hit the same mark and currently ranks as the fourth fastest-growing ETF on record.

“We’re talking about an ETF industry that’s been around for over 3 decades and has nearly 4,400 products,” Geraci said in a comment on X.
BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF remains the front-runner
While ETHA’s rapid growth has outpaced many traditional finance ETFs, it still lags behind the explosive success of BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF.
Launched in January 2024, the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) broke all records by reaching $10 billion in assets under management (AUM) just 34 days after launch.
