Ethereum News Today: Ethereum ETFs Outperform Bitcoin with $5.43B Inflows in July 2025

Crypto ETFs recorded unprecedented inflows in July 2025, with U.S.-listed products collectively drawing $12.8 billion in net inflows, setting a new monthly record [2]. This surge was driven by robust institutional demand for Ethereum and Bitcoin assets. Specifically, spot Ethereum ETFs accounted for $5.43 billion in net inflows during the month, reflecting a 369% increase compared to June [2]. The figure highlights the growing appeal of Ethereum-based products amid broader market activity.

Bitcoin ETFs also attracted $6 billion in net inflows, marking their third-best month on record [6]. Despite Bitcoin's price pullback to a three-week low in early August, the strong inflows underscore continued institutional confidence in the asset [7]. Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs continued to outperform Bitcoin in terms of net inflows and price performance, with Ethereum surging 54% in July [1].

BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF, in particular, crossed the $10 billion threshold, reinforcing the broader trend of institutional adoption [3]. This growth appears to have occurred despite a cooling market environment, as the broader crypto market, as measured by the CoinDesk 20 Index, showed mixed performance [5].

In contrast, Bitcoin ETFs faced a significant outflow of $812.25 million in a single day, marking the second-largest exodus in the history of such products [4]. However, the overall inflow for the month still reached $6.02 billion, reflecting a 30% increase from June [9].

The record inflows into crypto ETFs indicate a shift in investor behavior, with institutions increasingly viewing digital assets as a core part of their portfolios. Ethereum's superior performance and the rapid growth of its ETF volumes—reaching $123.5 billion as of July 2025—underscore its role as a key driver in the ETF space [1]. These developments suggest that the momentum seen in July could continue into the coming months, provided macroeconomic and regulatory conditions remain favorable.
