On August 11, 2025, Ether ETFs like Ethereum ETFs hit a record breaking milestone with $1.02 billion in net daily inflows. That was the largest single day inflow since the launch of Ethereum ETFs. They outperform Bitcoin ETFs, which had only $178 million on the same day. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) took the lead with $639.8 million in inflows. Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) followed with $277 million. Together, they accounted for almost 90% of the day’s inflows. This also signals growing institutional interest in Ether as a long term play. The demand for ether ETFs shows a steady increase.
Eight out of nine Ethereum ETF providers recorded net positive inflows, with no redemptions reported. This broad-based demand reflects Ethereum’s growing reputation as a core digital asset for portfolio diversification, alongside Bitcoin.
Price Rally Fueled By Supply Scarcity
In the past month there was a surge in ETF investment. This coincided with Ethereum’s amazing 45% price run up, which took us above $4,300 for the first time since December 2020. Also, Ethereum holdings on exchanges dropped to a nine year low of 15.28 million ETH. This is a sign of strong long term accumulation, partly driven by ether ETFs.
Ethereum staking is on the rise. There is also an increase in the use of Ethereum in DeFi and a greater trend toward self custody from investors. At present, over 35.67 million ETH which is worth $150 billion is staked. This has put nearly 30% of Ethereum’s total supply out of the open market. It is adding to demand, which in turn is driving price up.
Institutional And Corporate Buying Drives The Market
Beyond ETFs, a large growth in corporate Ethereum holdings occurred. In July 2025, there was a 127.7% increase in treasuries that held Ether. Additionally, there’s an increase in the number of companies which have ETH on their balance sheets. This number has grown to 64, led by BitMine Immersion Technologies (1.15 million ETH) and SharpLink Gaming (521,000 ETH). Ether ETFs have contributed significantly to this growth.
For corporations, Ethereum offers a unique advantage over Bitcoin: the ability to earn staking rewards averaging 2.95% annually. This combination of price appreciation potential and yield generation is driving corporate treasuries to allocate significant capital toward ETH.
Regulatory transparency has also enabled institutional involvement. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission green lit in-kind creation and redemption for crypto ETFs. This made them better priced and more effective. It is reported that persistent demand from ether ETFs and corporate treasuries will cause some supply issues. This situation adds to the positive momentum for the long term outlook of Ethereum.
