ETH ETFs Make a Major Comeback and Add $157 Million 

Ethereum ETFs Break Outflow Streak Amid Renewed Market Optimism 

ETH ETFs have finally posted their first weekly inflows since February. Net inflows of $157.1 million were seen last week, the highest weekly net inflow since almost three months. ETH ETFs also saw the highest net buying activity since early February. There has been increased buying pressure from institutional investors since President Trump softened against China and Paul Atkins assumed the role of SEC Chair. 

The crypto market has seen some long-awaited optimism as Atkins is anticipated to be pro-crypto in his dealings, and there are hopes that he will apply a soft approach to crypto regulations. The boost in inflows to ETH ETFs could spark a potential bull rally for the Ethereum (ETH) token. 

The ETH price is testing resistance around $1,800, and there seems to be an indecision between bulls and bears on where the ETH price will move in the short term. If the ETH price reaches $2,100, a recovery to a new all-time high could be on the cards. A decline to $1,688 would mean that the top altcoin will spiral down. 

The renewed interest in institutional investors is helping the ETH price as well as ETH ETF inflows. Movements by ETH whales suggest a potential accumulation trend among large players as the ETH price tries to gain bullish momentum. Rising ETF activity is a signal of a potential reversal in the ETH price and reflects growing confidence among both retail and institutional investors. If the broader crypto sentiment remains positive, the ETH price will continue to rise as key players enter the market. 

What are the Top ETH ETFs?

The weekly inflow was dominated by Fidelity’s FETH, BlackRock’s ETHA, and Grayscale’s ETH.

• Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH)

Fidelity’s FETH fund trades on NYSE Arca and has amassed over three-quarters of a billion in assets. It holds spot ETH and offers tight tracking fidelity and competitive fees, making it the second-largest ETH ETF by assets. 

• BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA)

It is the go-to spot ETH ETF and has attracted record inflows, outpacing every rival. It has shown massive, steady inflows recently, also grabbing the best single-day haul early this week. It has amassed $1 billion in grassroots flows. BlackRock has a reputation of being the world’s largest asset manager, and it gives investors of this ETH ETF confidence that drives consistent demand. 

• Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust (ETHE)

This is the original ETH ETF fund, which was established as a trust in 2017. Its fees are higher, but it draws retail and legacy buyers who value ease of access. It has the first-mover advantage and is a default choice for newcomers. Technical traders view ETHE as oversold, attracting opportunities for buying. Grayscale also offers a straightforward, no-wallet-needed structure that makes investors comfortable. 

Where some ETH ETFs thrive on an institutional scale, others endure through legacy brand strength and retail accessibility. The above three have outperformed peers recently and benefited from growing institutional demand for regulated ETH exposure, but they succeed for different reasons
