1/ July 2025 marked a turning point in crypto ETF adoption.
Ethereum ETFs broke records, attracting $3.24 billion in total net inflows for the month.
This surge signals a significant maturation of the market and growing institutional conviction in $ETH.
2/ The daily flow data reveals sustained demand. The peak was reached on July 16 with a record $726.6 million single-day inflow.
This momentum was maintained with multiple days exceeding $400M, showcasing consistent institutional accumulation throughout the month.
3/ BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ($ETHA) has emerged as the clear market leader.
The fund single-handedly attracted over $8 billion in July inflows, growing its total Assets Under Management (AUM) to $8.8 billion and demonstrating robust institutional confidence.
4/ This inflow dominance was driven by deep institutional demand, not just speculative trading.
Throughout July, corporate treasuries added over 600,000 $ETH to their balance sheets, and significant whale activity drew down exchange reserves to critically low levels.
5/ $ETH ETFs outpaced their Bitcoin counterparts for the first time.
On July 17, Ethereum ETFs captured $602 million compared to Bitcoin's $522.6 million, marking a potential paradigm shift in institutional asset allocation strategies.
6/ Future catalysts are already on the horizon. BlackRock has filed with the SEC to add staking capabilities to its $ETHA ETF, which could introduce a yield component for investors.
This, combined with advancing regulatory clarity from acts like the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts, strengthens the long-term outlook.
7/ In conclusion, the July performance has solidified $ETH as a core institutional asset.
