Ethereum News Today: Ethereum Surges 50% in July on $5.4 Billion ETF Inflows

Ethereum’s price surged in July 2025 as U.S.-listed spot Ethereum ETFs recorded a net inflow of $5.4 billion, according to CoinDesk [1]. This influx, driven largely by institutional demand, contributed to a 50% increase in ETH’s value during the month, marking the strongest monthly performance since 2022 [1]. The surge came amid broader discussions around Ethereum's expanding ecosystem and strategic partnerships, which have bolstered market confidence [2].

Positive sentiment around Ethereum was further reinforced by on-chain data. TradingView reported that 83% of sentiment toward Ethereum was positive, citing ETF inflows, key ecosystem developments, and institutional backing as contributing factors [2]. On-chain metrics also showed reduced exchange outflows during recent price corrections, signaling strong bullish positioning [3].

However, the inflow trend has shown signs of cooling. On August 1, 2025, the 20-day ETF inflow streak ended, with U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recording a net outflow of $152 million [4]. BlackRock, a major ETF provider, reported zero inflows on August 2, 2025, according to Blockchain News, raising concerns about the sustainability of the recent rally [5]. Despite these short-term fluctuations, some analysts remain optimistic, noting that on-chain metrics and institutional buying pressure could still push ETH toward a new all-time high [6].

Ethereum’s price rally was also attributed to ETF inflows, with the cryptocurrency rising from $2,469 on June 30 to $3,933 in July, according to Reddit discussions [7]. Binance noted that Ethereum has become a focal point for capital flows, with ETF activity indicating a potential rotation of assets into the asset class [8]. XRP remained relatively stable between $2.70 and $2.50 during this period, while market watchers speculated about potential rallies in Layer 1 ecosystems [1].

Despite strong short-term momentum, analysts have warned of macroeconomic risks that could disrupt the upward trend. AInvest reported that while low exchange outflows during pullbacks reinforced bullish sentiment, broader economic conditions remain a concern for risk-on assets [3].
