Ethereum News Today: U.S. Spot Ethereum ETFs Hit $1.02 Billion Inflows as ETH Surges 21%

U.S. spot Ether ETFs reached a historic milestone on August 12, 2025, with a record $1.02 billion in net inflows—the highest since their launch earlier in the year [1]. This surge was led by BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), which captured $426 million of the total inflows, underscoring the asset manager’s dominant role in the growing Ethereum ETF market [2]. Fidelity’s FETH also saw significant inflows, highlighting broad-based institutional interest in the product [3].

The inflows reflect a broader shift in investor appetite toward Ethereum, particularly as institutions increasingly view the cryptocurrency as a strategic asset for corporate treasuries and investment portfolios [4]. ETFs now hold 4.7% of Ethereum’s circulating supply, effectively absorbing 3.2 times the daily supply issuance. This structural demand has created a supply imbalance that could further support Ethereum’s price movement [5].

The market response has been swift. On August 12, Ethereum’s price climbed to $4,429, a 21% increase over the previous week [6]. This outperformed Bitcoin’s more muted gains and was fueled by the confluence of ETF inflows, corporate accumulation, and positive macroeconomic expectations, including the widely anticipated Federal Reserve rate cut in September [7]. The Ethereum-to-Bitcoin ratio also rose 18% month-to-date, signaling a capital rotation into Ethereum and reinforcing its role as a leading digital asset in institutional investment [8].

BlackRock’s ETHA ETF continued to outperform, with its share price reaching an all-time high of $33.02 and total inflows crossing $10 billion [9]. This performance reflects growing trust in Ethereum’s long-term fundamentals and the role of ETFs in expanding access to digital assets. With both retail and institutional investors showing increased exposure to Ethereum, the ETF landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace [10].

The sustained inflows and rising institutional adoption suggest Ethereum is entering a new phase of acceptance in mainstream finance. If regulatory developments—such as the SEC’s evaluation of XRP ETFs—support additional product launches, the broader crypto market could see a cross-asset rally. With corporate demand and ETF inflows reinforcing each other, Ethereum appears well-positioned for continued growth, provided macroeconomic conditions remain favorable [10].
