Ethereum News Today: Ether ETFs Hit Record $1.01 Billion Inflow as ETH Rallies 45% in 30 Days

Spot Ether ETFs experienced a historic $1.01 billion net inflow on Monday, setting a new record for single-day flows into the asset class [1]. This figure far exceeded the $178 million in net inflows seen by Bitcoin ETFs on the same day, highlighting a growing institutional and retail preference for Ether [1]. Over the past 30 days, Ether (ETH) has risen 45%, signaling a strong turnaround in market sentiment [1]. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) led the inflow with $640 million, while Fidelity’s Ethereum Fund (FETH) captured $277 million, both marking their highest single-day inflows [1].

The surge in inflows reflects a broader institutional shift in perception toward Ethereum. Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius, noted on X that Ether ETFs had previously been underestimated by traditional financial investors due to a lack of understanding of the platform [1]. He added that Ethereum is now gaining traction as the “backbone of future financial markets,” indicating a clearer recognition of its role in decentralized infrastructure [1].

Ethereum’s recent bull run is supported by key on-chain metrics. Exchange-held ETH has fallen to 15.28 million tokens, the lowest level since November 2016, according to Glassnode [1]. This decline suggests investors are moving their holdings into long-term storage, a trend often associated with bullish price action. Token Terminal also reported that Ethereum continues to dominate the tokenized asset landscape, representing 58% of all tokenized assets across blockchains [1]. In addition, assets staked on the Ethereum network have surpassed $150 billion, a milestone that underscores the blockchain’s growing utility and security [1].

The ETF inflows have also outpaced Ethereum’s issuance rate since the network transitioned to proof-of-stake in late 2022. According to data from influencer Anthony Sassano, Ethereum has issued 451,000 ETH since the Merge, while ETFs absorbed 238,000 ETH in a single day [1]. This represents over 50% of the net issued supply, signaling strong demand from institutional and corporate investors [1]. Corporate ETH holdings have now reached $13 billion in value, driven by the recent price increase [1].

Despite the positive momentum, caution remains among some market observers. Increased profit-taking by short-term traders indicates a potential near-term pullback [1]. Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, warned that the trend of corporate treasury purchases could turn into an “overleveraged game,” suggesting that continued inflows may not be sustainable without proper risk management [1].
