Ethereum ETFs saw a record $2.85B in weekly inflows, surpassing Bitcoin ETFs, which received only $547.82M.
- Ethereum ETFs hit a record $2.85B in weekly inflows
- Bitcoin ETFs lag behind with $547.82M inflows
- Investors show rising confidence in Ethereum’s potential
The crypto market witnessed a surprising shift last week as U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded a massive $2.85 billion in inflows — their highest weekly figure to date. In contrast, spot Bitcoin ETFs only attracted $547.82 million, signaling a notable change in investor sentiment.
The significant difference in capital flows suggests that institutional and retail investors are increasingly bullish on Ethereum, potentially due to its upcoming upgrades, smart contract capabilities, and expanding ecosystem in decentralized finance (DeFi) and NFTs.
This growing interest comes after months of Bitcoin dominance in the ETF space. Ethereum’s surge may be attributed to lower entry prices, improved regulatory clarity, and expectations around staking yields and future growth.
Is Ethereum Taking the Lead in Crypto ETFs?
While Bitcoin ETFs have been the center of attention since their U.S. launch earlier this year, Ethereum ETFs are rapidly gaining traction. Experts believe this influx of funds reflects a broader understanding of Ethereum’s utility beyond being just a digital currency.
Ethereum’s smart contract features and ongoing developments like Proto-Danksharding (EIP-4844) continue to draw investor confidence. The $2.85B inflow demonstrates that the market may be ready to give Ethereum a stronger position alongside Bitcoin in traditional financial instruments like ETFs.
If this momentum continues, Ethereum could challenge Bitcoin’s ETF dominance in the months ahead.
What This Means for the Market
The record inflow into Ethereum ETFs highlights a broader trend of crypto market maturity. With more investors gaining exposure through regulated products, Ethereum’s role in the market is evolving from just a “number two” cryptocurrency to a serious investment contender.
The ETF race is heating up, and Ethereum’s recent inflow milestone could set the tone for a more competitive market between the top two digital assets.
