Spot ether exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuers have submitted their final documents needed in order to launch the funds next week.
Lifetime net inflows into the U.S.-based spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds topped $16 billion on Monday as investors of late have shown themselves to be buyers in both up and down markets.
Data from Bloomberg Intelligence shows the spot funds saw net inflows of $790 million even as the price of bitcoin tumbled 7%.

BlackRock declined to comment on the filing.
