Ethereum leads crypto inflows with $4B in 30 days as investors regain confidence despite prices falling from 2024 highs.
Ethereum exchange reserves near multi-year lows at 19.7M ETH, signaling long-term holding and reduced sell-side pressure.
Layer 2 networks like Arbitrum and Base attract billions in inflows, showing rising demand for scalable blockchain solutions.
For the last thirty days, Ethereum is the main driver of crypto capital inflows, as stated by Open4profit in a post on X. The data state that Ethereum is attracting over $4 billion, much more than any competitor blockchain. This kind of flow speaks of investors having confidence in the long-term prospects and stability of the Ethereum network.
Meanwhile, CryptoQuant data shows that Ethereum's exchange reserves are still declining, hitting multi-year lows close to 19.7 million BTC. The price of Ethereum is currently around $2,400, indicating decline from its peak of $4,200 in 2024.
Layer 2 Networks Gain Traction
Besides Ethereum, Layer 2 ecosystems are gaining attention. Arbitrum recorded nearly $1.5 billion in inflows, positioning itself as the second most favored network. Base followed with around $500 million, showing continued growth and market penetration. Polygon PoS and Unichain attracted between $200–300 million, reflecting consistent developer activity and ecosystem expansion.
Moreover, newer chains like Berachain are witnessing increasing interest. Solana remained steady, although its inflows trailed far behind Ethereum. OP Mainnet, Sonic, and Sui also showed measurable growth. These patterns highlight the evolving blockchain landscape and investors’ appetite for scaling solutions and novel architectures.
Ethereum Price Falls as Reserves Plummet
Ethereum exchange reserves have steadily dropped since mid-2022. Back then, reserves stood around 30 million ETH when prices hovered near $2,000. However, from late 2022 through 2023, reserves declined rapidly, coinciding with a modest price rise to $2,500.

In early 2024, Ethereum saw a sharp rally to $4,200, even as reserves dropped below 21 million. This inverse relationship continued through 2024, with reserves stabilizing between 19–20 million ETH Meanwhile, Ethereum’s price struggled, eventually settling near $2,400 in early 2025.
Hence, declining reserves suggest long-term holding, but waning demand pressure likely capped Etereum’s upside. Consequently, Ethereum’s inflow dominance further reflects shifting investor focus toward ecosystems with higher utility and capital efficiency.
