U.S. spot Ether ETFs took in $162.31 million on Tuesday, a third straight session of net creations, while ether held near $2,760 after closing Monday at $2,776. Flow data put BlackRock's ETHA at $88.13 million, taking its cumulative net inflow to about $13.16 billion. Fidelity's FETH added $33.64 million, with a cumulative inflow near $2.35 billion. Grayscale's Mini ETH added $27.31 million and ETHE added $10.39 million. BlackRock's staking product ETHB added $2.84 million. The rest of the complex was flat. Monday had already been the largest Ether ETF inflow day of 2026, about $270 million, with ETHA near $110 million. That pair of sessions follows the 15 September redemption, when the category lost about $141 million and ETHA led the selling. See that outflow day.
$2,760 still has to live with bitcoin's ETF tape
Ether rose from a $2,399 close on 15 September to $2,776 on 21 September, roughly 14% in a week, alongside bitcoin's move back toward $87,000. Tuesday's $162 million is smaller than Monday's $270 million, which is what a third day of a streak usually looks like, not a reversal. Combined with Tuesday's $714.7 million into spot bitcoin funds, regulated wrappers added close to $877 million in one session. ETHA doing the heavy lifting again means the bid is still concentrated. If bitcoin funds keep creating into Thursday's Trump-Xi meetings and ETHA follows, $2,800 is the shelf Monday already tested. If the bitcoin wrappers stall, ether's smaller inflow is not a separate floor. The SEC's five-year tokenized-stock exemption, published Monday, is about National Market System shares, not about ether's status. Do not read it as an ETH catalyst.
