Ethereum News Today: Spot Ethereum ETFs Attract $523.9M Inflow as ETH Price Rises 7.20%

Spot Ethereum ETFs have continued to attract robust inflows in recent weeks, signaling a growing acceptance of Ethereum among traditional financial investors. On August 12, 2025, U.S.-listed spot Ethereum ETFs received a net inflow of $523.9 million, following a record $1.02 billion inflow on the previous day. Over the past six days, these products have accumulated a total of $2.33 billion in net inflows. BlackRock’s ETHA was the leading performer, drawing $318.67 million in the most recent session, with Fidelity’s FETH and Grayscale’s Mini Ether Trust also posting significant inflows of $144.9 million and $44.25 million, respectively [1].

This trend reflects a broader shift in investor sentiment, as spot Ethereum ETFs gain traction as a regulated and accessible entry point for institutional and retail capital into the crypto market. According to SoSoValue, eight out of nine Ethereum ETFs closed the previous trading day on a positive note. The total net asset value of these ETFs is now $27.6 billion, representing approximately 4.8% of Ethereum’s total market cap [2].

Nate Geraci, President of NovaDius Wealth, highlighted the underestimation of Ethereum ETFs by traditional financial investors, who are now beginning to recognize the asset’s potential as a foundational component of future financial markets. He noted that the narrative around Ethereum has evolved from skepticism to strategic interest [3].

The inflows have also coincided with a strong price performance for Ethereum. Over the past 24 hours, the price of ETH rose by 7.20% to $4,615.30 [4]. The altcoin has climbed over 8.5% in the last 24 hours, reaching $4,667, approaching its November 2021 peak of $4,878.26. Corporate treasuries have accumulated over $10.5 billion in Ethereum, indicating a broader institutional adoption strategy [5].

BlackRock’s recent purchase of 150,000 ETH has further fueled optimism regarding the potential for Ethereum to reach an all-time high [6]. Despite short-term volatility, such as a dip to $4,293 on July 29, investor confidence remained undeterred, with another $1 billion in inflows recorded during the same period [7].

Analysts suggest that the growing inflows into Ethereum ETFs demonstrate a structural shift in how investors view the asset class. Ethereum is increasingly being seen as a strategic allocation within diversified portfolios rather than a speculative bet. The regulatory clarity and institutional backing provided by spot ETFs are seen as key factors in stabilizing investor sentiment and potentially expanding the legitimacy of the crypto market [8].

The success of Ethereum ETFs could also pave the way for similar products across other cryptocurrencies, further integrating crypto into mainstream financial markets. As institutional investors continue to deploy capital into these vehicles, the broader implications for the crypto sector could be significant [9].
