The Week
ETH.US fell 1.01% this week to close at $25.46, versus a 0.27% decline for the S&P 500, underperforming the benchmark by about 0.74 percentage points. The fund traded in a range of $25.31 to $26.47. Monday (28 Sep) opened lower and stabilised, Tuesday (29 Sep) briefly touched $26.14, and the rest of the week drifted lower. Friday (2 Oct) spiked to $26.47 intraday before settling near the lows. Average daily volume was about 2.32m shares, 8.05% above the median, suggesting moderately active trading.
Sector News
Ethereum-related headlines dominated this week. On Monday (28 Sep), BitMine Immersion disclosed buying roughly $47m worth of ether, lifting its holdings to about 4.9% of total supply, with 84% of tokens staked. BMNR shares also formed a golden cross for the first time since the company’s Ethereum pivot. Separately, the Glamsterdam testnet upgrade went live on Sepolia, signalling a 200m gas limit, and ether was reported to be on track for its best September since 2016. On 1 Oct, ether’s spot price jumped 1.06% intraday. These events sat alongside ETH.US’s narrow range as sector attention increased, without clear direction in the fund itself.
The Week Ahead
The macro calendar is busy. On Monday (5 Oct), the US S&P Global services PMI final and ISM non-manufacturing PMI are due; the latter’s prior reading was 55.4, with the market expecting 55. On Tuesday (6 Oct), international trade balance and goods trade figures arrive, followed by EIA weekly crude and Cushing inventories on Wednesday (7 Oct). For this Ethereum-theme ETF, the macro data will matter mainly as a gauge of broader risk appetite heading into the next stretch.
In Short
ETH.US edged lower this week, but the sector story stayed active: BitMine’s growing ether treasury and staking push, the Sepolia testnet upgrade, and a sudden 1.06% rise in ether spot prices. Meanwhile, the latest session’s flow data shows large-lot money leaning net seller, while small and medium orders leaned net buyer, leaving a mixed picture. The next test is whether macro data and Ethereum network developments can translate into more sustained buying.
