On August 11, 2025, spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based on Ethereum ($ETH ) recorded a historical record, attracting $1.02 billion in a single day. This is the first instance where the daily influx of capital into Ethereum ETFs exceeded one billion dollars, highlighting the growing interest of institutional investors in the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. The lion's share of the funds, $639.79 million, came into the ETHA fund from BlackRock, followed by FETH from Fidelity with $276.9 million. The total assets under management of ETH-ETFs reached $25.71 billion, which accounts for 4.77% of the Ethereum supply.
The rise coincided with the price of ETH surpassing $4300, hitting a new high since 2021. The excitement is confirmed by an increase in Ethereum futures trading on CME to $118 billion in July and a surge in search queries for 'Ethereum' to a peak not seen since 2022. Analysts note that investors see Ethereum not only as a risky asset but also as a foundation for DeFi and Web3. However, experts warn of potential regulatory risks and market volatility.
In contrast to Ethereum, Bitcoin ETFs attracted only $178.15 million during the same period, indicating a redistribution of capital. This trend may signal a new phase of Ethereum's dominance in the cryptocurrency market.
