Ethereum ETFs are enjoying a sustained bull run, clocking 11 straight weeks of net inflows totaling more than $6.4 billion.
Key Takeaways:
Ethereum ETFs have pulled in $6.4 billion over 11 straight weeks, outpacing Bitcoin funds. Fidelity’s ETHA hit $10B in assets in just 10 days, the third-fastest ETF to do so. Institutional ETH demand is rising amid stablecoin growth and renewed price momentum.The surge represents nearly 72% of the $8.9 billion raised by these products since their debut in the US last year, according to data from SoSoValue.
Momentum has picked up sharply in recent days, with Ethereum ETFs consistently outdrawing Bitcoin rivals.
Ether ETFs Outpace Bitcoin With $2.4B Inflows in Just Six Days
Nate Geraci, president of ETFStore, noted that Ether-based funds attracted $2.4 billion in new investments over the past six trading days, compared to just $830 million for Bitcoin ETFs.
Fidelity’s ETHA fund has been the standout, ballooning from $5 billion to $10 billion in just 10 days.
Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas described the growth as “the ETF asset equivalent of a God candle,” noting that ETHA is now the third-fastest ETF to reach the $10 billion milestone, behind only BlackRock and Fidelity’s Bitcoin offerings.
While Bitcoin ETFs still dominate in overall assets, Ethereum’s rise is narrowing the gap and hinting at changing investor sentiment.
For many, Ether funds are becoming a preferred vehicle to tap into Ethereum’s rally without the complications of direct token custody.
The turnaround in ETH’s price, from April lows near $1,400 to around $3,600, has added fuel to the fire.
Analysts say renewed investor interest is being driven partly by the U.S. push toward stablecoin regulation.
With over half of the $265 billion stablecoin market operating on Ethereum, the network’s role in digital finance appears more critical than ever.
Matthew Dibb, CIO of Astronaut Capital, highlighted stablecoin growth and Circle’s IPO momentum as key reasons for institutional Ethereum accumulation.
Meanwhile, long-time Ethereum bull Arthur Hayes has called for a $10,000 ETH price this year, with others eyeing $7,000 as a more conservative but increasingly feasible target.
Institutional interest in Ethereum has surged in recent weeks.
BitMine Immersion Technologies recently acquired $2 billion worth of ETH over a 16-day span, making it the largest corporate holder of Ethereum.
In total, corporate treasuries now hold 2.31 million ETH, representing 1.91% of the asset’s circulating supply, according to Strategic Ether Reserves.
95% Approval Chance for Spot Solana, XRP ETFS
As reported, Bloomberg’s senior ETF analysts have assigned a 95% chance that the SEC will approve spot ETFs for Solana, XRP, and Litecoin this year, raising their previous odds from 90% amid growing optimism for institutional crypto products.
They also expect a crypto index ETF tracking multiple assets could gain approval as early as this week, signaling broader access to altcoins for traditional investors.
Beyond ETFs, institutional Bitcoin demand is spreading into corporate treasuries.
As reported, Singapore-headquartered edtech firm Genius Group has doubled its Bitcoin holdings to 200 BTC after acquiring 20 BTC last week, part of a wider strategy to build a 10,000-BTC treasury.
