U.S. spot ether exchange-traded funds did not record a single-day net inflow above $150 million before the market's August 14, 2026 deadline. The largest daily haul in the run-up came on August 6, when ether funds pulled in roughly $92.15 million as part of a combined $220 million day alongside bitcoin ETFs. That contributed to the group's strongest week since April, with about $244.9 million in net inflows for the week ending August 7, according to crypto-market trackers. Inflows cooled in the days that followed, including a modest $7.4 million on August 12, well short of the $150 million threshold. The early-August rebound followed a weak July U.S. jobs report that raised expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, improving risk appetite for crypto assets broadly. Despite that pickup in institutional demand, no single trading day approached the market's $150 million bar before the deadline, so the question resolved no. The community had put the odds at an even 50%, a split prediction that did not clearly anticipate either outcome.
