ETH Token Faces 3% Dip Despite $21M ETF Inflows and Record Staking Activity

Ethereum (ETHUSDT) is currently trading at $2,527.52, reflecting a 3.07% decline over the past 24 hours based on Binance data. The recent price decrease can be attributed to a combination of factors: despite robust institutional inflows into Ethereum spot ETFs (including a $21.39 million net inflow on June 16, 2025, and BlackRock’s ETF reaching a cumulative $5.252 billion), the market has experienced heightened volatility and profit-taking after ETH briefly fell below $2,500 and failed to sustain its early June highs. Additionally, while there is growing institutional adoption—highlighted by Societe Generale’s launch of a dollar-pegged stablecoin on Ethereum and Vietnam’s official recognition and regulation of crypto assets—these positive developments have been offset by historically weak June performance, with ETH typically seeing negative returns this month.

In the last 24 hours, Ethereum’s trading volume increased by approximately 5.94% to $24.20 billion, signaling active trading amid price movements. The market capitalization stands at $303.24 billion, and the circulating supply is 120,720,837.73 ETH. Despite the short-term price decline, investor confidence remains supported by record-high staking participation (over 35 million ETH staked) and sustained institutional interest, as evidenced by significant ETF inflows and increased trading activity.
