Ethereum ETFs See 2nd-Highest Inflows in 5 Months.

The United States Ethereum spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) just had one of their biggest days in months, signaling a strong wave of interest from institutional investors.

On July 9, U.S. Ethereum spot ETFs recorded net inflows of $211.32 million, up from $46.63 million the previous day; this represented the second‑highest single‑day inflow in over five months and the third‑largest so far in 2025. The only higher inflows this year were recorded on June 11 ($240.29 million) and February 4 ($307.77 million).

Since their debut in U.S. markets in July 2024, following the January launch of U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs, Ethereum spot ETFs have gained traction. As of July 9, cumulative net inflows into these ETFs totaled $4.72 billion, and total assets under management stood at $11.84 billion, amounting to roughly 3.58% of Ethereum’s market ca.p

BlackRock’s Ethereum spot ETF was the largest contributor on July 9 with inflows of about $158.62 million; Fidelity added around $29.53 million, Grayscale about $17.96 million, and Franklin approximately $5.21 million. In total, five Ethereum spot ETFs reported positive flows that day, and none saw outflows.

The rise in demand suggests growing confidence in Ethereum as an investable asset class. Institutional players are taking advantage of the relatively young Ethereum ETF market, signaling belief in its long-term value. These ETFs allow investors to gain exposure to Ethereum without directly holding the cryptocurrency, making them a more accessible option for traditional institutions.

On the same day, U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs saw total inflows of roughly $218 million. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust led with about $125.6 million, followed by Ark & 21Shares with approximately $57 million, while other issuers, including Fidelity, Grayscale, and Bitwise, also reported notable inflows.

Overall, the latest inflow figures for both Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs paint a clear picture: investor interest, especially from institutions, remains strong in the digital asset space. For Ethereum, in particular, this recent surge may mark a turning point in its positioning as a legitimate and increasingly mainstream investment vehicle.

As spot Ethereum ETFs continue to mature in the U.S. market, the focus will likely remain on how sustained this level of interest will be and whether this momentum can push Ethereum further into the financial mainstream.
