Ethereum Sees $638M ETF Inflows Amid September Profit-Taking Concerns
Ethereum (ETH) is attracting significant institutional interest, with spot ETFs showing strong inflows.
- Between September 8–12, 2025, Ethereum funds saw $638 million in net inflows, led by Fidelity's FETH at $381 million.
- This marks the fourth consecutive week of gains, pushing cumulative Ethereum ETF inflows above $13.3 billion.
ETF Inflows and Institutional Confidence
- Ethereum ETFs' assets under management now exceed $30 billion, with major contributions from Fidelity and BlackRock.
- Exchange reserves are at their lowest since 2016, indicating reduced selling pressure as ETH moves into long-term holdings.
- Over 36 million ETH, around 30% of supply, is staked, tightening liquidity further.
Profit-Taking Pressures in September
- Historically, September has been a weak month for ETH with a median return of -12.7%.
- The percentage of ETH supply in profit recently peaked near 99%, suggesting potential for pullbacks.
- Ethereum is trading within a rising wedge pattern, often preceding corrections; key supports are at $4,485 and $4,382, with resistance levels at $4,760 and $4,945.
Potential Move Toward $5K
- Strong fundamentals: ETF inflows, whale accumulation, and reduced exchange supply provide support.
- Holding above $4,700 could lead to a push towards $4,900–$5,000.
- Caution advised due to September's history of corrections and high profit-taking signals.
Ethereum's challenge is maintaining momentum beyond September and leveraging growing institutional demand amidst seasonal volatility.
