Ethereum News Today: Ethereum ETFs Sustain 15-Day Inflow Streak with $231M as Bitcoin ETFs Lose $89M

Ethereum spot ETFs attracted a record $231 million in net inflows on July 24, 2025, marking the 15th consecutive day of positive flows and signaling a pivotal shift in institutional sentiment toward the cryptocurrency. The surge, led by BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF (FETH), underscored a growing preference for Ethereum-based assets over Bitcoin, with Bitcoin ETFs experiencing an $89 million outflow on the same day, extending a 12-day losing streak in comparative inflow performance [3].

The cumulative net inflow for Ethereum spot ETFs since late June reached $8.88 billion, driven by sustained institutional demand and expanding trust in Ethereum’s ecosystem [1][2]. This trend highlights Ethereum’s maturing role as an institutional-grade asset, with on-chain activity and transaction volumes reflecting increased confidence in its utility and scalability. Analysts attribute the momentum to Ethereum’s foundational role in decentralized finance (DeFi) and anticipation of upcoming network upgrades, which position it as a more versatile platform compared to Bitcoin’s primarily store-of-value function [3].

BlackRock’s FETH ETF has been a key driver of the inflows, with the fund reaching a $10 billion asset under management milestone in record time [4][5]. Other major asset managers have also allocated capital to Ethereum ETFs, albeit on a smaller scale, reinforcing the broader market trend. The sustained inflow streak contrasts with earlier crypto market volatility, illustrating how ETFs are emerging as stable conduits for institutional capital.

The outperformance of Ethereum ETFs over Bitcoin counterparts reflects a strategic reallocation of capital, driven by Ethereum’s expanding use cases and regulatory clarity in major markets. While some analysts, like Michaël van de Poppe, have speculated about Ethereum’s potential to outperform Bitcoin by 70% from April lows, the data underscores a tangible shift in investor behavior rather than speculative forecasts [3].

The shift could have long-term implications for market dynamics, with Ethereum ETFs contributing to increased liquidity and price momentum. Institutional adoption is likely to accelerate if Ethereum’s infrastructure developments and DeFi integration continue to gain traction. However, the evolving ecosystem also raises questions about regulatory frameworks and technological advancements, as investors navigate a rapidly changing landscape.
