The world’s first EthereumEthereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) began trading this week—and got off to an explosive start. All in all, the trio of Canadian ETFs have racked up $138 million in trading volume so far.
The Ethereum ETFs, run by Purpose Investments, Evolve ETFs, and CI Global Asset Management, started trading on Toronto’s stock exchange (TSX) Tuesday. The ETFs are products that allow investors to buy shares that represent the second biggest cryptocurrency by market cap, Ethereum. Investors can trade them continually throughout the day but don’t have to worry about the tricky stuff that comes with holding crypto, like storage.
Day One of the Canadian Ether ETF Derby ($volume):
1. $ETHX (Galaxy): $21M
2. $ETHH (Purpose): $19M
3. $ETHR (Evolve): $3M
(notes: this is about 1/5th what bitcoin ETF did on Day One. also, day one volume is largely buying so most will convert to assets.)— Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) April 21, 2021
And they got off to an impressive start for an ETF launch in Canada. CI Global Asset Management (which is partnered with Galaxy Digital) traded over $22 million, according to figures shared with Decrypt. Since then, that number has risen to $79 million.
While Purpose traded $20 million on its first day and Evolve, $3 million. They both currently stand at $54 million and $5 million respectively.
But while that may sound like a lot, it’s still a fraction of what the Bitcoin ETFs traded when they kicked off earlier this year in Canada: Purpose’s Bitcoin ETF traded $80 million in its first hour and Evolve raised $421 million in just two days.
What this does show, however, is that there is indeed a market demand for crypto ETFs—despite the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) taking the position that US markets aren’t yet prepared for one. The SEC has repeatedly rejected applications from companies that want to set up a Bitcoin ETF in the US, partly because it claims that the Bitcoin market can still be easily manipulated.
Though, since Canada led the North American charge, with six crypto ETFs approved this year alone, analysts think it won’t be long before the SEC finally does approve one. Bloomberg ETF research analyst James Seyffart last week told Decrypt that it’s likely the US will have a Bitcoin ETF this year.
And right now, the SEC is currently considering eight high-profile applications for Bitcoin ETFs.
If the US market’s hunger for crypto is anything like Canada’s, more records may soon be broken.

Livestreaming with an attached meme coin was popularized this year after a mom promised sexual acts if her apparent son’s meme coin, called LiveMom, hit specific market caps. Despite promising to pour milk over her “36DDs,” the same ones her son allegedly “actually suckled on,” the pair ghosted with nothing really crazy going down. But clearly, some degens saw the viral sensation this became and tried to capitalize on it. Quickly, a flurry of copycat tokens launched, including LiveSis, countles...
Top college football prospect Matai Tagoa’i is set to join football stars like Russell Okung, Odell Beckham Jr., and Trevor Lawrence by receiving his compensation in Bitcoin.

The world’s largest asset manager BlackRock just debuted a new advertisement proselytizing the virtues of Bitcoin, but rather than cheer on the Bitcoin ETF issuer for its efforts, Bitcoiners aren’t happy. The video, which is housed on the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF page on BlackRock’s website, spends three minutes walking viewers through the evolution of money and key fundamentals of Bitcoin. One of those fundamentals is Bitcoin’s 21 million fixed token supply. While the video explains t...
