Recently, the substantial inflow of funds into Ethereum ETFs has garnered considerable attention. Particularly in July, Ethereum-based funds performed exceptionally well, attracting the interest of institutional investors, which in turn increased market activity. Over the past six weeks, the observed capital absorption exceeded the total of the past 12 months.
Ethereum ETF Dynamics
In July, the price of Ethereum ETFs briefly surpassed that of Bitcoin-based products. Analysts indicated that this situation amplified institutional investors' interest in Ethereum. As investors increased their support for Ethereum, the position of Ethereum ETFs in various segments has also risen.
The massive investment from itMine is a significant driving force behind this momentum. Analysts pointed out that in a previously stagnant market, a year's worth of funds has flowed in over the past six weeks.
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated: "Ethereum ETFs have welcomed an inflow equivalent to a year's worth of funds in just six weeks. After a long period of silence, there was suddenly a surge. The developments of BitMine and GENIUS have injected tremendous momentum into Ethereum."
Strong demand, reduced fear
The ETH held by BitMine has reached $6.6 billion, and institutional investors' interest in ETH is growing. Many analysts assert that the company's large-scale acquisitions have prompted major investors to buy ETH.

As of August 7, the trading activity of Ethereum ETFs has significantly increased. Over $200 million in funds flowed in, bringing the daily market entry amount to $1.018 billion. On August 11, the ETH ETF recorded a record inflow of funds and ended a series of net inflows with a net inflow of $639 million on August 14. Concerns triggered by the PPI data on August 15 led to a net outflow of $59 million from the ETF. As of today, only the ETF data from Bitwise and Grayscale has been released, with a total net outflow amount of $19.6 million.
It remains uncertain whether the rapid growth of Ethereum ETFs can be sustained. Despite short-term market volatility, if institutional investors continue to enter the market, the stable demand for Ethereum ETFs is expected to stabilize spot prices.
