Ethereum News Today: Ethereum ETFs Near $10B Inflows as BlackRock’s ETHA Drives 91% of July Surge, Up 120% from Month Start

Spot Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are on track to surpass $10 billion in inflows this month, driven by BlackRock’s ETHA, which now ranks as the fourth-largest ETF by 30-day inflows. As of July 25, cumulative inflows for spot Ethereum ETFs reached $9.3 billion, a 120% increase from $4.2 billion on July 1, according to Farside Investors. This surge reflects 16 consecutive days of inflows, with an average daily intake of $233 million. At this rate, the $1.35 billion daily trading volume in ETHA—ranking it 17th by trading volume among all ETFs as of July 28—suggests the asset class could breach $10 billion in inflows by month-end [1].

BlackRock’s ETHA dominates the inflow narrative, accounting for 91% of total Ethereum ETF inflows in July. The fund’s $3.9 billion in 30-day inflows places it fourth among all ETFs, capturing 4% of the $97.6 billion total inflow surge during the same period, as noted by Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas [1]. ETHA’s performance far outpaces Fidelity’s FETH, which has attracted $2.35 billion in inflows during the same timeframe, making ETHA’s total flows nearly four times that of its closest competitor [1].

The rapid accumulation of assets in ETHA underscores growing institutional confidence in Ethereum. Shawn Young, chief analyst at MEXC Research, attributes the inflows to institutional whales and corporate treasury firms seeking exposure to Ethereum’s tokenization capabilities, stablecoin infrastructure, and on-chain settlement utility. “The rise of Ether ETF assets under management (AUM) to over $20 billion—nearly 5% of Ethereum’s total market cap—highlights its strategic role in institutional portfolios,” he stated [1].

While ETHA’s 30-day inflows focus on short-term momentum, broader metrics reinforce Ethereum’s expanding footprint. The fund’s record-breaking pace—third-fastest to reach $10 billion AUM—has drawn comparisons to Bitcoin ETFs, according to a Medium analysis [2]. However, the distinction between AUM growth and inflow metrics remains critical; the $10 billion AUM milestone reflects total assets, while the $10 billion in inflows represents net cash flows into the fund over a month [3].

Market participants remain cautiously optimistic. Balchunas noted that ETHA’s trading volume of $1.35 billion as of July 28 signaled strong liquidity, with much of the activity likely converting to inflows [1]. Meanwhile, SoSoValue reported ETHA’s $440 million net inflow on July 25, highlighting its dominance in the category [4].

The Ethereum ETF surge aligns with broader institutional adoption trends. As tokenization and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications mature, Ethereum’s role as a settlement layer and utility asset continues to attract capital. However, sustained inflows will depend on macroeconomic clarity and regulatory developments, particularly as Ethereum’s spot ETF landscape evolves [1].
