ETF Still a Driver, But Macro Economic Clouds Start to Darken
The significant rise of Ethereum was driven by a surge of funds into ETH-based ETFs, which recorded over $5 billion in inflow during July.
The total funds entering Ethereum ETF now reach $9.64 billion, marking increasing institutional interest. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETF also recorded an additional $6 billion during the same period.
However, on the other hand, macro conditions have raised concerns. US President Donald Trump announced an increase in import tariffs of 10–41%, triggering sell pressure in global markets including crypto.
Additionally, weak US employment data triggered risk-off actions, causing investors to start moving assets from risky instruments like stocks and crypto to bonds.
