Ethereum ETFs Attract $533 Million In Single Day Push Total Assets To $19.85 Billion
Spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds recorded $533.87 million in net inflows on Tuesday, extending their streak to 13 consecutive trading days of positive flows. According to Cointelegraph, data from SoSoValue shows BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust led the surge with $426.22 million in daily inflows.
Fidelity's FETH followed with $35 million in inflows during the same period. The 13-day streak beginning July 2 has generated over $4 billion in cumulative net inflows. BlackRock's fund now holds over $10 billion in assets, commanding the largest market share among Ether ETF products.
Total net assets across all Ether ETFs reached $19.85 billion, representing 4.44% of Ethereum's market capitalization. The cumulative net inflow across all products has surpassed $8.32 billion, up from $4.25 billion at the streak's beginning.
Why These Inflows Matter
Vincent Liu, chief investment officer at Kronos Research, attributes the sustained demand to declining Bitcoin dominance and growing institutional appetite for Ethereum exposure. The consistent daily inflows represent institutional conviction rather than speculative trading.
According to Yahoo Finance, Ethereum surged 43% in two weeks following ETF momentum and fresh legislation. The House passed the CLARITY Act, providing additional regulatory framework for cryptocurrency markets. BlackRock also filed with the SEC on July 17 to include staking capabilities for its ETHA fund.
Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, noted that Ethereum ETPs have accumulated less than 12% of Bitcoin ETPs' assets despite Ethereum's market cap being 19% of Bitcoin's size. This suggests institutional investors remain underweight Ethereum compared to Bitcoin allocation ratios. As our analysis previously covered, institutional Bitcoin adoption patterns often precede similar moves into Ethereum, with treasury reserves becoming increasingly common among corporations.
Industry Impact And Market Implications
The sustained ETF inflows reflect broader institutional crypto adoption accelerating throughout 2025. Coinbase projects the crypto market is poised for transformative growth, with expanding use cases across various sectors.
The Ethereum network expects to issue only 0.8 million ETH during this period, suggesting demand could outpace supply by nearly seven times. This supply-demand imbalance creates potential upward price pressure as institutional accumulation continues. Lookonchain data revealed five fresh wallets withdrew 76,987 ETH worth $285 million from Kraken, indicating accumulation trends beyond ETF flows.
Meanwhile, spot Bitcoin ETFs posted $67.93 million in net outflows on the same day, highlighting rotation between crypto assets. Bitwise's BITB and Ark's ARKB recorded the largest Bitcoin ETF withdrawals at $42.27 million and $33.18 million respectively. This divergence demonstrates institutional portfolio rebalancing rather than overall crypto market weakness.
The institutional shift toward Ethereum aligns with broader tokenization trends and decentralized finance adoption. Major asset managers like Franklin Templeton are experimenting with tokenized government securities on public blockchains, creating 24/7 trading capabilities and near-instant settlement.
