Ethereum News Today: Ethereum ETFs See $2.87 Billion Weekly Inflow, Driving 77% of Crypto Investment Surge

Ethereum has emerged as the primary beneficiary of the latest surge in cryptocurrency investment inflows, with Ethereum-based products attracting a record $2.87 billion in the most recent week, representing 77% of the total $3.75 billion inflow into crypto investment products [1]. This figure marks the fourth-highest weekly inflow on record and brings Ethereum’s year-to-date inflow total to $11 billion, with these flows accounting for 29% of the assets under management (AuM) in crypto investment products as of August 13 [1].

The surge in Ethereum ETF inflows reflects a growing institutional appetite for Ether as a tradable and strategic asset. BlackRock’s ETHA ETF led the charge, receiving $11.83 billion in new capital, the highest among Ethereum spot ETFs [3]. Analysts have attributed the inflow increase to both the maturation of Ethereum-based ETF products and the broader regulatory clarity emerging in the digital asset space [4].

Ethereum spot ETFs have recorded a cumulative inflow of $12.73 billion since their launch, demonstrating the sustained appeal of the asset among both institutional and retail investors. The recent performance coincided with a record $40 billion in combined trading volume for U.S.-listed Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs, highlighting the deepening integration of cryptocurrencies into traditional financial markets [5]. This milestone also reflects the broader shift in asset allocation strategies, with Ethereum increasingly viewed as a core component of diversified investment portfolios.

Bitcoin, by comparison, saw a more modest inflow of $552 million, accounting for 11.6% of the AuM for the year. Other altcoins such as Solana (SOL), XRP, and Chainlink (LINK) also attracted inflows, but the bulk of investment activity remained concentrated in high-volume, well-established assets [1].

Ethereum’s price has remained resilient, currently trading above $4,094, with analysts suggesting that continued inflows and favorable macroeconomic conditions could push the price toward $4,788 and even $5,662, assuming the bullish trend persists [6]. The U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) report, which exceeded expectations, has contributed to the positive market sentiment, reinforcing perceptions of economic stability and encouraging capital allocation into Ethereum as a potential hedge against inflation [7].

On August 15, 2025, Tether further supported Ethereum’s ecosystem by minting $1 billion in USDT on the Ethereum network, a move expected to enhance liquidity and facilitate smoother transactions within DeFi and trading platforms. This development aligns with the broader trend of Ethereum serving as a foundational layer for stablecoin operations and cross-chain interactions [9].

The sustained inflows into Ethereum ETFs, combined with favorable macroeconomic data and regulatory clarity, have created a favorable environment for the asset. As institutional demand continues to grow, Ethereum is increasingly being positioned as a key component in the diversification of traditional portfolios and as a bridge between digital and conventional financial systems.
