Catenaa, Wednesday, August 20, 2025- US spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded over $1 billion in net inflows in a single day for the first time since their debut, signaling growing institutional confidence in the cryptocurrency.
On Monday, investors poured $1.02 billion into nine spot Ethereum ETFs, led by BlackRock’s ETHA fund with $639.8 million in net inflows, followed by Fidelity’s FETH at $277 million, the latter marking its largest inflows to date.
Other funds from Grayscale, Bitwise, 21Shares, Franklin Templeton, and VanEck also reported positive flows.
Since May, spot Ethereum ETFs have accumulated more than $8 billion in net inflows, bringing total inflows to over $10.8 billion.
The surge reflects increasing recognition of Ethereum’s role as a foundational asset in decentralized finance and Web3 innovation, analysts say.
Nick Ruck, director at LVRG Research, described the demand as a reflection of rising institutional trust in Ethereum’s long-term value. Kronos Research CIO Vincent Liu attributed the inflows to “relentless regulatory tailwinds” and growing traditional finance treasury allocations.
By comparison, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a modest $178 million inflow on Monday.
Ethereum’s price rose 45% over the past month and was trading near $4,284 at the time of reporting.
The influx into Ethereum ETFs marks a milestone for crypto’s integration into mainstream finance, highlighting its growing appeal beyond traditional retail investors.
