Ethereum News Today: BlackRock's ETHA Surpasses $10 Billion Inflows as Ethereum Hits $4,429 High

BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) has reached a historic milestone, with net inflows exceeding $10 billion as of August 12, 2025. This marks the fastest institutional accumulation of Ethereum (ETH) through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. market. The fund recorded a record single-day inflow of $1.02 billion on August 12, the highest since the launch of U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs, with BlackRock reportedly acquiring over 150,000 ETH during the period [1]. The fund’s share price climbed to an all-time high of $33.02, reflecting strong demand from institutional and retail investors alike [9].

The surge in inflows has had a direct impact on Ethereum’s price, which rose above $4,429 on August 12, a 21% increase from a week earlier [6]. This outperformance relative to Bitcoin—driven by ETF inflows, corporate accumulation, and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut—has reinforced Ethereum’s position as a favored digital asset in institutional portfolios [7]. Ethereum’s dominance ratio against Bitcoin also improved by 18% month-to-date, indicating a shift in capital allocation [8].

The broader Ethereum ETF market is showing sustained strength, with cumulative inflows reaching $10.83 billion by July 24, 2025 [4]. ETHA, managed by BlackRock’s CEO Larry Fink, has attracted over $10.5 billion since the launch of Ethereum ETFs earlier in the year [9]. This rapid adoption is being supported by improved regulatory clarity, enhanced infrastructure, and a growing recognition of Ethereum’s role in decentralized finance (DeFi) and smart contract ecosystems [9].

The structural demand created by ETFs now accounts for 4.7% of Ethereum’s circulating supply, effectively absorbing 3.2 times the daily issuance of new ETH. This has contributed to a positive price environment and increased on-chain activity, with whale accumulations adding over $220 million in ETH in recent weeks [1]. Meanwhile, the ETF’s trading volume has reached $1.8 billion, surpassing Bitcoin ETFs in the same period and highlighting Ethereum’s growing institutional appeal [1].

While no public statements have been issued by BlackRock executives regarding the fund’s performance, the continued inflows and rising price suggest strong institutional confidence in Ethereum’s long-term fundamentals. The momentum appears likely to continue if favorable regulatory developments, such as approval for ETH staking or new crypto products, emerge [2]. With the market increasingly viewing Ethereum as a regulated and institutional-grade asset, the ETF-driven growth is expected to support further price appreciation and broader adoption.
