Ethereum ETF Inflows Surpass $5.5 Billion as Institutions Expand Holdings

Spot Ethereum ETFs continue to attract significant inflows despite market volatility. The BlackRock iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) led with $54.8 million in inflows as of July 1, contributing to a total of $40.7 million across all US ETF issuers.

BlackRock Dominates Ethereum ETF Inflows

  • ETHA has accumulated net inflows exceeding $5.5 billion since launch.
  • It recorded inflows on nearly 29 of the last 30 days.
  • ETH price remains under pressure from ongoing sell-offs by ETH whales, struggling to breach the $2,500 resistance.
  • Continued strong inflows may lead to staking features being introduced for existing Ethereum ETFs.

Institutional Demand for ETH Remains High

  • Corporates are increasingly building ETH reserves; Bit Digital plans to raise $162.9 million to purchase more Ethereum.
  • Bit Digital operates a leading Ethereum staking platform and previously raised $150 million to pivot towards Ethereum staking.
  • ETH is appealing due to annual staking yields of 3–5%, deflationary tokenomics, and its role in decentralized applications.
  • SharpLink Gaming, a major corporate ETH holder, recently acquired an additional 4,951 ETH worth $12 million, nearing 200,000 ETH in total holdings.
