Ethereum News Today: Ethereum ETFs Attract $5.43 Billion Inflows as ETH Rallies 54% in July 2025

Record inflows into Ethereum-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) marked a turning point in the cryptocurrency market in July 2025, with institutional demand and rising Ethereum (ETH) prices fueling the momentum. According to multiple reports, Ethereum ETFs attracted a historic $5.43 billion in net inflows during the month, driven largely by a 60% surge in ETH’s price to $3,900 [2]. BlackRock’s ETHA fund emerged as a key player, capturing over $4 billion of these inflows [1], reflecting strong confidence among large investors in Ethereum’s growth potential.

The inflow streak for Ethereum ETFs lasted an impressive 19 consecutive days, a performance that matched historical records [4]. This momentum contributed to the broader U.S. crypto ETF market, which saw a record $12.8 billion in July inflows, driven primarily by Bitcoin and Ethereum [5]. While Bitcoin ETFs experienced outflows in early August, particularly on August 1—$812 million in outflows led by Fidelity and ARK—Ethereum ETFs ended a 20-day inflow streak with $152 million in losses [7]. Nevertheless, Ethereum ETFs remained a stronger draw than Bitcoin in the month, underscoring a shift in investor preferences.

Ethereum’s price outperformance has also been notable. The asset surged 54% this month, outpacing Bitcoin’s gains. Analysts attribute this to growing interest in stablecoins, corporate treasury strategies, and the availability of Ethereum ETFs [8]. Some industry observers suggest that Ethereum could surpass its previous record high of $4,800 if current trends persist [9]. This speculation is further supported by the contrast with Bitcoin ETFs, which saw a sharp $109.845 million outflow according to a 26-indicator ETH analysis [10]. The rotation of capital from Bitcoin to Ethereum highlights a growing conviction in Ethereum’s long-term value proposition, especially among institutional investors [1].

The broader context of this shift is rooted in favorable U.S. crypto policy changes and regulatory developments. Bitcoin ETFs, for instance, have surpassed $129 billion in assets, outpacing gold ETFs [5]. These developments were part of the “Crypto Christmas in July” narrative, highlighting the industry’s significant milestones in 2024–2025, including ETF approvals and strategic announcements by major players [1]. Institutional investments, coupled with policy shifts under former U.S. President Donald Trump, have further accelerated the momentum [5].

The sustained inflows into Ethereum ETFs indicate a broader repositioning in the crypto market. As institutional demand grows and regulatory clarity improves, Ethereum appears to be capturing a larger share of investor capital compared to Bitcoin. This trend suggests that Ethereum is not only outperforming in price but also gaining traction as a preferred asset class for institutional investors seeking exposure to the crypto market.
