Ethereum News Today: Ethereum ETFs See $639.6M Daily Inflows as Price Rises 56% from Monthly Low

Ethereum-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have seen a sustained period of capital inflows, with inflows hitting an eight-day consecutive streak as of August 14. During this period, U.S. Ethereum ETFs recorded $639.6 million in inflows on August 14 alone, with BlackRock receiving the largest portion at approximately $520 million, followed by Grayscale and Fidelity with $61 million and $57 million, respectively. Invesco Galaxy added a modest $2.3 million, while the remaining five ETF issuers recorded no activity [1]. The cumulative inflows over the eight-day period now total $3.7 billion, reflecting strong institutional demand for the asset [2].

This inflow streak marks a continuation of a broader trend, following a previous 20-day run of positive flows. In contrast to their sluggish performance in earlier months, Ethereum ETFs have now established a clear momentum, outperforming their Bitcoin counterparts at times [3]. The trend has been supported by a surge in Ethereum’s price, which reached $4,642 at press time, having risen nearly 20% on the week and more than 56% from its monthly low. Although Ethereum dipped 1.5% in the past 24 hours, the overall upward trajectory has rekindled investor optimism [4].

The growing inflows have fueled market expectations for a potential price breakout above the $5,000 level. On prediction platform Polymarket, the probability of Ethereum hitting $5,000 before the end of August is currently at 55%, despite a 9% decline in those odds on the day, likely influenced by the recent price pullback [5]. More bullish forecasts suggest that Ethereum could break its all-time high of $4,800, with the probability for that event at 90%. These figures reflect the broader sentiment that Ethereum is being positioned for a significant price move, driven by increasing institutional adoption and ETF-related inflows [6].

The market’s shifting focus to Ethereum has also drawn attention to the role of corporate institutions in the asset’s trajectory. Several large firms have committed billions to Ethereum accumulation and treasury strategies, further reinforcing the narrative of a growing institutional footprint in the digital asset space [7]. Analysts have noted that the sustained flow of capital into Ethereum ETFs is a key driver of the recent bullish momentum. Standard Chartered has recently doubled its year-end price forecast for Ethereum to $7,500 from a previous target of $4,000 [8]. Meanwhile, Tom Lee, chairman of the largest corporate ETH holder, has suggested that the $7,500 target may be conservative, expecting the asset to significantly outperform current expectations.

Longer-term projections are even more ambitious, with multi-year forecasts suggesting Ethereum could reach $12,000 by late 2026, $18,000 in 2027, and $25,000 by 2028–2029. However, the realization of these targets will depend on Ethereum maintaining its current momentum and continuing to outperform market expectations [9]. The ongoing inflows into ETFs are seen as a critical factor in sustaining this trend, as they provide a barometer of institutional confidence and mainstream adoption of the asset.
