Ethereum News Today: Ethereum Price Surges 10% in Four Days as ETF Inflows Exceed $1.846 Billion

Ethereum’s price has surged to $3,888, reflecting a 10% gain in just four days amid record inflows into Ethereum-based ETFs. Total weekly inflows into Ethereum ETFs surpassed $1.846 billion, marking the second-highest weekly inflow on record and signaling strong institutional demand [1]. This influx of capital has intensified speculation that Ethereum could break through the $4,000 milestone by the end of July, a target endorsed by on-chain analysts and community sentiment. The surge aligns with broader market dynamics, including a potential rotation of capital toward altcoins as Bitcoin’s dominance wanes [2].

The inflow data, tracked by on-chain analyst Ted Pillows, highlights a sharp uptrend in Ethereum ETF demand throughout July. Daily inflows exceeded $200 million for much of the month, with peaks of $533.8 million on July 22 and $452.8 million on July 25 [1]. BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale—three of the nine Ethereum ETFs currently trading—led institutional accumulation efforts [1]. This momentum contrasts with Bitcoin’s modest net inflows of $70 million during the same period, underscoring Ethereum’s growing appeal among institutional investors [1].

The ETF inflows coincide with increased whale activity, as Ethereum addresses holding over 10,000 ETH surged by 50%. Analysts interpret this as evidence of long-term positioning, with large investors treating Ethereum as a strategic asset amid its technical upgrades and expanding adoption [3]. BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF, in particular, has drawn significant inflows, reinforcing institutional confidence in the asset class [4].

Market observers link Ethereum’s trajectory to Bitcoin’s price movements. If Bitcoin reaches $120,000—a level last seen in early 2025—Ethereum could surpass $4,000, according to analysts. This correlation is rooted in Bitcoin’s role as a bellwether for altcoins, with Ethereum positioned as a natural leader in any rally. A golden cross (a technical indicator where short-term averages cross above long-term ones) in Ethereum’s price chart has further fueled optimism, with some predicting a multi-week rally toward $4,000 [5].

Community sentiment remains bullish, with users describing the $4,000 target as a “pit stop” rather than a distant goal. Ted Pillows acknowledged this optimism while cautioning that key resistance levels remain critical for a sustained breakout. Institutional demand and Ethereum ETFs were cited as key catalysts by supporters, who emphasized the cryptocurrency’s role as a lead asset in broader altcoin cycles [1].

The 17-day streak of Ethereum ETF inflows has created a “supply shock,” according to analysts. Sustained institutional buying could drive Ethereum toward $6,000 in the long term, supported by whale accumulation and growing adoption [6]. While forecasts of $4,000 are speculative, the combination of $1.8 billion in ETF inflows and a 50% surge in whale addresses reflects a maturing market. Institutional adoption is increasingly framing Ethereum as a core component of diversified portfolios, with its trajectory likely tied to macroeconomic trends and Bitcoin’s performance.
