Ethereum ETFs in the U.S., led by BlackRock and Fidelity, recorded a $1 billion inflow as ETH’s price surged toward $4,800.
The substantial inflows underscore growing institutional interest, potentially driving Ethereum’s price to new highs and impacting overall market dynamics.
U.S.-listed Ethereum ETFs saw a record one-day net inflow exceeding $1 billion, led by BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust and Fidelity’s FETH. This coincided with ETH prices approaching their all-time high of near $4,800.
The influx was spearheaded by BlackRock, hitting approximately $640 million, and followed by Fidelity’s $277 million investment. Grayscale added around $80 million. Altogether, nine products partook in this historical financial movement.
This substantial capital injection generated positive market sentiment, driving ETH’s price closer to historic highs. The one-day institutional accumulation represents a pivotal moment for the cryptocurrency market.

The inflow also positively influenced altcoin markets, with increased interest in DeFi protocols. The SEC’s resolution with Ripple added to the optimistic environment, benefiting secondary market movements. Twitter link

The ETH record inflow marks a pivotal shift with potential regulatory and financial outcomes. Corporate treasuries acquiring ETH at higher rates than BTC underscore changing institutional strategies. Geoff Kendrick from Standard Chartered Bank noted, “Corporate treasuries are acquiring ETH at twice the rate of BTC.” This development could influence long-term ETH adoption trends.
