- BlackRock’s ETHA saw $77.06M inflow in a single day.
- Ethereum’s price rose above $2,600 as institutional ETF demand grew.
Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) witnessed a remarkable inflow of institutional capital on June 3, 2025, signaling a shift in investor sentiment and asset strategy. Among the top performers, BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) recorded a single-day inflow of $77.06 million, contributing significantly to the $109.43 million total ETF inflow for Ethereum on Tuesday.
Other notable contributions included Fidelity’s Ethereum Fund (FETH), which attracted $20.97 million; Grayscale’s Ethereum Fund, with $8.41 million; and Franklin’s Ethereum ETF (EZET), which added $2.99 million.
This influx comes at a time when broader market conditions show diverging trends in crypto ETF investments, with Ethereum rapidly gaining favor among institutional players.
BlackRock’s ETHA has emerged as a dominant force in the Ethereum ETF landscape. With cumulative inflows now exceeding $4.73 billion, ETHA is solidifying its status as a top choice for institutional investors looking to gain exposure to Ethereum without directly holding the asset
Since May 15, Ethereum (ETH) has seen inflows for 12 consecutive days, with a steady increase in volume.The fund’s consistent inflow trend highlights the sustained trust in Ethereum and BlackRock’s digital asset strategy. Industry analysts, including Bloomberg’s ETF expert Eric Balchunas, have drawn parallels to BlackRock’s earlier Bitcoin ETF success, suggesting ETHA could pave a similar trajectory for Ethereum as IBIT did for Bitcoin.
In contrast, the same day saw $378.04 million flowing into Bitcoin. However, earlier on June 2, $268 million had flowed out of Bitcoin ETFs, suggesting a possible short-term tilt in institutional preference toward Ethereum. This marks a noteworthy shift in market sentiment and may reflect confidence in Ethereum’s long-term use cases, including DeFi, staking, and smart contracts.
Market Dynamics and Ethereum Price Surge
The strong inflows into Ethereum ETFs are having immediate market implications. ETF demand witnessed a surge when the Ethereum price and market cap did something similar. Individual and institutional buyers joined forces to put some pressure on spot markets while boosting ETH valuation simultaneously.
ETF inflows have historically preceded asset price increases, as seen in Bitcoin’s trajectory post-ETF approval. Ethereum now seems to be entering a similar cycle, driven by accessible investment vehicles and institutional confidence.
Ethereum’s price in early June 2025 shows a strong recovery and ongoing bullish momentum. On June 4, 2025, Ethereum traded near $2,629, gaining about 1.33% . Over the past few weeks, Ethereum rebounded by about 45% in late May, outperforming both Bitcoin and other DeFi assets, and started June with renewed strength.
As ETHA and other Ethereum ETFs keep bringing in capital, Ethereum’s position in institutional portfolios seems to be solidifying. The growing popularity of ETHA makes Ethereum a legitimate alternative or complement to Bitcoin in diversified crypto strategies..
