Ethereum ETFs See Surge in Inflows, Adding $500M in a Week
Ethereum ETFs have recorded their third-biggest day ever, with over $500 million in inflows over the past week. This surge in investments accounts for approximately 16% of all-time net inflows, which now stand at $3.17 billion. The recent wave of investments is a significant development in the Ethereum market, particularly as the asset’s price has stabilized.
Institutional Investors Position in Ethereum
According to CoinGlass, the recent inflows are concentrated among three major players in the Ethereum ETF market. BlackRockβs iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) leads with $3.75 billion in assets under management, closely followed by Grayscaleβs Ethereum Trust (ETHE) at $3.67 billion. Fidelityβs Ethereum Fund (FETH) rounds out the top three with $1.34 billion.
The total assets under management (AUM) for Ethereum ETFs exceed cumulative inflows due to asset appreciation and reinvestments. This trend suggests that institutional investors are actively positioning themselves in Ethereum, potentially in anticipation of further price movements.
Market Analysis and Trends
The increase in ETF demand coincided with a rebound in Ethereumβs price. After declining to $2,150 on February 3, Ethereum recovered to $2,920 by February 4, reflecting a 36% increase. This price movement followed a temporary reversal of tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on Canada, Mexico, and China.
Ethereum has since stabilized, trading at $2,720, though it remains about 27.5% below its 2025 peak of $3,750 and approximately 45% below its all-time high of $4,890 from November 2021. Investor sentiment remains mixed on the assetβs next move, but some analysts see parallels with past market cycles.
Ethereum had seen capitulation candles in Q1 2024, Q3 2024, and now Q1 2025, each time followed by a 90β100% rally over the next 8 to 12 weeks.
This historical pattern suggests that Ethereum could be positioned for another upward move. However, it remains uncertain whether this trend will repeat.
