Ethereum News Today: Ethereum ETF Inflows Outpace Bitcoin for 14th Week Pushing Assets to $30 Billion

Ethereum (ETH) continues to attract significant investor interest as inflows into Ethereum-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) outpace those of Bitcoin for the fourth consecutive week. This 14-week accumulation trend has pushed Ethereum ETF assets to $30 billion, with BlackRock’s ETHA leading the charge with $15.9 billion in assets under management. The ETF inflow surge has occurred amid a 217% price rise from April’s lows, with Ethereum currently trading at $4,410 after a brief three-day pullback from its weekly high [1].

The sustained inflows are attributed to Ethereum’s growing utility in decentralized finance (DeFi), where it maintains a 68% market dominance. The total value locked in DeFi has climbed to $203 billion, while stablecoin supply on the Ethereum network increased by 10% in 30 days to $144 billion, with a corresponding 30% rise in wallet addresses [1]. This expansion reflects the platform’s continued relevance and adoption in the broader crypto ecosystem.

From a technical perspective, Ethereum has formed a cup-and-handle pattern, a bullish continuation pattern that suggests further gains. The pattern, which has a depth of 68%, measures to a price target of $6,840, indicating a potential 55% surge from current levels. A key part of this pattern is the “break-and-retest” scenario, in which Ethereum is expected to retest support at $4,110 before resuming its upward trend [1].

Market sentiment is also reinforced by the Ethereum ETF inflow streak, which has lasted eight days, with daily inflows reaching $2.4 billion on some occasions. Polymarket data shows the probability of Ethereum reaching $5,000 before the end of August at 55% [2]. This aligns with Ethereum’s 56% rise from monthly lows and a 26% weekly price increase, pushing it to $4,500 [3].

The ETF inflows have also shifted the ETH/BTC holdings ratio, which has tripled since May 2025 [4]. This shift reflects a broader reallocation of capital toward Ethereum, driven by institutional and retail investors who view the asset as a more scalable and programmable alternative to Bitcoin. The BlackRock ETF alone accounted for a large portion of the $639 million in weekly inflows across all US Ethereum ETFs [5].

Despite the optimistic technical and fundamental indicators, the 55% odds on Polymarket should be interpreted as market sentiment rather than a guaranteed outcome. Investors are advised to remain cautious as Ethereum faces potential short-term volatility and remains subject to evolving regulatory scrutiny [6].

Ethereum’s trajectory is increasingly being viewed through the lens of ETF adoption, with regulated investment vehicles providing a more accessible and compliant way for traditional investors to participate in the crypto market. As Ethereum ETF inflows continue to outpace those of Bitcoin, the asset’s broader appeal in institutional and retail markets appears to be strengthening [7].
