Ethereum News Today: Ethereum ETFs Surpass $1 Billion in Net Assets as Investors Shift from Bitcoin

Ethereum-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced unprecedented inflows this week, surpassing $1 billion in net assets as investors shifted capital away from
. The surge marked a historic week for the asset class, with ETFs outpacing their Bitcoin counterparts in terms of weekly inflows. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) emerged as a dominant player, accumulating over $10 billion in assets within 251 days—the third-fastest growth in ETF history [3].The momentum began with a $534 million single-day inflow on July 22, followed by another $533.87 million the next day, both representing significant portions of Ethereum ETFs’ record-breaking performance. Over a 13-day period ending July 23, cumulative inflows reached $8.32 billion, elevating total net assets in Ethereum ETFs to $19.85 billion [2]. This shift reflects a strategic rebalancing by institutional investors, who have increasingly favored Ethereum’s smart contract capabilities and potential for long-term adoption.
The trend contrasted sharply with Bitcoin’s performance, which saw $67.93 million in outflows on July 23 [2]. Ethereum ETFs accounted for $726.74 million in inflows on July 16 alone—the largest single-day haul since their launch [4]. Analysts attribute the capital rotation to declining Bitcoin dominance and improved liquidity in Ethereum markets. Vincent Liu of Kronos Research noted that institutional demand for ETH exposure is likely to persist as macroeconomic conditions remain favorable [2].
Fidelity’s FETH and BlackRock’s
led the inflow surge, with ETHA now representing 4.44% of Ethereum’s total market capitalization [2]. Matt Hougan of Bitwise highlighted a growing imbalance in exchange-traded product (ETP) allocations, pointing out that Ethereum ETPs hold less than 12% of Bitcoin ETP assets despite Ethereum’s 19% smaller market cap. He projected that combined demand from ETPs and institutional balance sheet holdings could reach $20 billion in ETH over the next year, far exceeding the asset’s expected supply of 0.8 million ETH during the same period [2].On-chain activity also reflected the market shift. Kraken reported the withdrawal of 76,987 ETH ($285 million) by five new wallets on July 23, indicating increased accumulation and reduced exchange liquidity [2]. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s price surged over 40% in July 2025, aligning with the ETF inflows [6]. Analysts remain cautious about short-term volatility but emphasize that demand-supply dynamics currently favor ETH. Hougan observed, “In the short term, the price of everything is set by supply and demand. And for the time being, there is significantly more demand for ETH than there is new supply. I suspect we go higher” [2].
The record inflows underscore Ethereum’s growing institutional adoption and its role in a diversified crypto portfolio. With Ethereum ETFs now outpacing Bitcoin in net inflows for the week, the asset class appears poised for further momentum.
