- Ethereum ETF inflows have seen consistent inflow in the last 12 days with net gains of about $743.8 million.
- Institutional perception of Ethereum is starting to shift as asset managers are beginning to see it as a gateway to Web3 and real-world asset tokenization.
Ethereum is back in the headlines, but this time around, it’s from the institutional side of town. Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency, has started to see renewed interest in its ETF inflows.
The token has recently seen a stretch of skepticism with its recent ETF inflows, signaling that Wall Street may be rethinking its stance on ETH. In all this, its price has been surprisingly resilient, even as markets anticipated a pullback.
Based on recent on-chain details, it has been recorded that the network has shown modest recovery following the Petra upgrade and whispers of large ETH purchases like Sharplink Gaming’s $425 million treasury allocation. They’ve sort of shifted the tone of institutional conversations. Whether this marks the start of sustained institutional interest in ETH or another short-lived spike is the question investors are now asking.
According to 10x Research, the fate of Ethereum ETFs doesn’t necessarily rely on its price movement but instead on how Wall Street frames Ethereum’s role in the future of finance. Unlike Bitcoin, which just went with the “digital gold” narrative, Ethereum’s programmable nature has been harder to simplify for traditional investors.
Ethereum Rising ETF Inflows
Ethereum spot ETFs in the U.S. have seen steady gains, with 12 days of back-to-back net inflows adding up to $743.8 million, according to data from SoSoValue. On Tuesday, it was recorded that $109.43 million was put into the market, marking the second-biggest daily total since February.
BlackRock’s ETHA leads with $77 million. Since May 11, ETHA has collected more than 214,000 ETH, showing rising interest from large investors. At the same time, exchange balances dropped by 450,000 ETH in one week, reaching levels last seen in 2016.
With clearer regulatory signals and a growing focus on blockchain infrastructure, asset managers are beginning to rebrand ETH ETFs as exposure to the backbone of Web3 and tokenized real-world assets. If this narrative takes hold, ETH may finally find its place in institutional portfolios.
