Ethereum News Today: Ethereum ETFs Attract $5.43 Billion Inflows in July 2025

Ethereum-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced a historic inflow surge in July 2025, drawing $5.43 billion in net inflows over the month. This performance marked the strongest month for Ethereum ETFs on U.S. exchanges, with the asset class witnessing net inflows on 30 out of 31 days. The only exception was July 31, when Ethereum ETFs recorded a $153 million outflow amid broader market corrections [4]. Daily inflows peaked at $17 million on July 13, reflecting strong and sustained demand [2].

The inflow trend was driven by both institutional and retail investors, with Ethereum ETFs matching Bitcoin ETFs in institutional capital accumulation. In July, Ethereum ETFs pulled in $5.4 billion, while Bitcoin ETFs saw $6.02 billion in inflows, highlighting Ethereum’s growing appeal as a regulated investment vehicle [3]. This trend signals an increasing shift in investor behavior—from direct crypto purchases to investment through regulated, transparent products.

The strong inflows contributed to a significant price rally for Ethereum, with the price rising over 50% during the month to settle at $3,700 by the end of July [1]. However, early August saw Ethereum dip to around $3,500 amid profit-taking and broader market volatility.

Regulatory developments further supported the ETF environment. The SEC approved in-kind redemptions for spot Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs, reducing costs and improving price tracking. Additionally, Cboe filed for generic listing standards for crypto ETFs, and NYSE Arca and Nasdaq were expected to follow. SEC Chair Paul Atkins launched Project Crypto, a deregulation initiative aimed at modernizing rules for tokenized and on-chain assets [5].

Despite the brief outflow at month-end, the overall inflow figures underscore the institutional confidence in Ethereum as a mainstream asset. The sustained inflows indicate a maturing crypto market and growing acceptance of blockchain-based assets within traditional finance. With more jurisdictions expected to approve spot Ethereum ETFs and Ethereum’s upcoming upgrades, the ecosystem appears positioned for continued growth [3].
