Institutional Funds Flow into Ethereum, Market Performance Strong! Since 2025, Ethereum has seen a significant influx of institutional funds, a phenomenon that has attracted widespread attention in the market. Here are the relevant details:
Scale and Direction of Fund Inflows: Significant ETF Fund Inflows: Ethereum ETFs have performed strongly recently, with net inflows of $2.47 billion for the first two weeks of July. In the week of July 13, the net inflow for Ethereum ETFs reached as high as $907.99 million, setting a new historical record, with a single-day inflow of $383.1 million on July 10, marking the highest single-day net inflow record.
Increased Exchange Inflows: Recently, institutions such as Polychain Capital, Galaxy Digital, and B2C2 have concentrated their transfers to exchanges, moving over 24,000 Ethereum worth over $40 million. Among them, Galaxy Digital deposited 12,500 ETH, and Polychain Capital deposited 5,700 ETH.
Surge in Institutional Wallet Holdings: Coinbase's latest research report shows that the ETH holdings in institutional investor wallet addresses have surged by 470,000 coins in the past 30 days, worth over $1.9 billion. Institutional Fund Trends • Nine consecutive weeks of net inflows for ETFs, peaking at $908 million • BlackRock's ETHA increased holdings by over $156 million in a single week • Top institutions have cumulatively absorbed 550,000 ETH (approximately $1.65 billion) within 30 days • Total staked amount surpasses the historical threshold of 32 million coins
Reasons for Institutional Inflows: Improved Regulatory Environment: The U.S. SEC's change in attitude, with the new chairman retracting the previous chairman's suppression policies on DeFi, clarifying that ETH is not a security, and supporting developer innovation. The enactment of the "GENIUS Act" establishes a regulatory framework for stablecoins, while the "CLARITY Act" promotes the clear designation of ETH as a "digital commodity" regulated by the CFTC, clearing obstacles for institutional entry.
Development of the Ethereum Ecosystem: The advancement of Ethereum 2.0 has improved its performance and scalability, with DeFi protocols locking in value surpassing a trillion scale. The demand for ETH has also surged due to the NFT and metaverse economy, continuously enhancing Ethereum's application scenarios and value, attracting institutional funds.
Impacts: Driving Price Increases: The substantial influx of institutional funds provides strong support for Ethereum's price, which rose over 17% in early July and surpassed the $3,000 mark on July 11.
