Ethereum News Today: US Investors Inject $2.4 Billion into Ethereum ETFs, Outpacing Bitcoin by 200% in Six Days

US investors injected $2.4 billion into spot Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) over six consecutive trading days, outpacing Bitcoin ETFs by nearly 200% during the same period, according to Farside Investors. This marks the first sustained period of Ether ETF inflows surpassing Bitcoin ETFs since the launch of crypto-based ETFs in the United States. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum ETF (ETHA) captured 75% of the total inflows, amounting to $1.79 billion, while Fidelity’s Ethereum Fund (FETH) set a single-day record with $210 million in Thursday inflows. ETHA became the third-fastest ETF to reach $10 billion in assets under management in 251 trading days, highlighting institutional confidence in Ethereum’s ecosystem [1].

The surge coincided with heightened corporate adoption of Ethereum. BitMine Immersion Technologies purchased $2 billion worth of ETH over 16 days, becoming the largest corporate holder. Companies now hold 2.31 million ETH in their treasuries, representing 1.91% of Ethereum’s circulating supply, according to Strategic Ether Reserves data. Galaxy Digital CEO Michael Novogratz forecasted ETH could reach $4,000 within six months, citing supply shocks from large institutional purchases [1]. He noted that corporate acquisitions by firms like BitMine and SharpLink Gaming could reduce available supply, potentially driving prices higher.

Ethereum ETFs recorded strong monthly inflows totaling $4.7 billion in July, with ETHA leading in both volume and growth rate. On July 17, Ethereum ETFs collectively attracted $602 million in net inflows, surpassing Bitcoin ETFs’ $523 million. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs saw a $131 million net outflow on July 28, ending a 12-day streak of inflows. Analysts at Swissblock noted this as part of a broader trend where Ethereum is “rotating into leadership” as the crypto cycle matures [1].

The divergence in ETF performance reflects broader market dynamics. While Bitcoin’s price rose 11% in five days to $95,000, Ethereum’s price action—trading near $3,000—gained momentum amid ETF inflows totaling $594 million in a single day [4]. Over the six-day period, Ethereum ETFs averaged $398 million in daily inflows, compared to Bitcoin ETFs’ $827 million total, underscoring a shift in investor priorities. Mitrade analysts projected Ethereum’s price could reach $4,000 by 2026 and $7,000 by 2040, driven by EIP-4844 upgrades and decentralized finance (DeFi) adoption [3].

However, experts caution against over-interpreting the trend. Blockscholes research highlighted that Bitcoin ETFs still experienced $342.2 million in outflows during a recent week, ending a 15-day inflow streak. Analysts stress that Ethereum’s six-day lead could reflect temporary capital rotation rather than a structural reallocation of assets [5]. Bitcoin’s role as a digital reserve asset remains strong unless Ethereum sustains innovation and utility gains.

The surge in Ether ETF adoption underscores Ethereum’s evolving position in the crypto landscape. As ETFs continue to reshape trading volumes and investor behavior, the interplay between Bitcoin’s foundational appeal and Ethereum’s technological advancements will likely remain a focal point for market participants [1].
