Ethereum has just surpassed a decisive milestone. In a single day, on August 11, inflows into its ETFs exceeded one billion dollars, a clear sign of institutional confidence. At the same time, an executive order signed by Donald Trump opens U.S. 401(k) plans — a pillar of retirement savings in the United States — to cryptocurrencies. Two events that, combined, could permanently reshape the dynamics of the crypto market.
In summary
Ethereum ETFs recorded a record of 1 billion dollars in net inflows in a single day.
U.S. 401(k) plans are now authorized to include cryptos and private equity.
The ETF + 401(k) combination could trigger a massive and lasting flow of capital into Ethereum.
1 billion in 24h: Ethereum ETF breaks all records
Ethereum ETFs recorded more than 1 billion dollars in net inflows on August 11, a historic record for the asset. BlackRock, with its ETHA product, captured 640 million dollars, while Fidelity, through FETH, attracted 277 million.
This interest in ETH is explained by several macroeconomic factors. U.S. inflation stands at 2.8% year-on-year, reinforcing expectations of rate cuts by the Fed. Investors are returning to risky assets, including cryptos, pushing Ethereum towards the $4,600 range, with short- and medium-term bullish momentum.
