Ethereum ETFs saw $837.5M in inflows over 15 consecutive trading days, despite a 6% dip in ETH’s price.
BlackRock’s ETHA fund leads the surge, drawing nearly $600M, while staking ETFs may be next.
Institutional interest signals growing conviction in Ethereum’s future as a foundational blockchain asset.
Ethereum ETFs in the U.S. are defying market trends with a record 15-day streak of net inflows, totaling over $837.5 million since May 16, 2025, according to SoSoValue. Despite ETH trading 33% below its yearly high, strong demand, led by BlackRock’s ETHA, highlights growing institutional confidence in Ethereum’s long-term utility and role in decentralized finance.
This inflow streak stands out not just for its duration, the longest since late 2024, but for its resilience. Even as Ethereum (ETH) trades nearly 33% below its yearly high and faces downward pressure, investor sentiment around its long-term value appears to be strengthening.
Institutional Capital Flows Into Ethereum ETFs
On June 6, Ethereum ETFs recorded $25.22 million in daily net inflows, extending a streak of inflows that began on May 16, based on data from SoSoValue. In total, more than $837.5 million has flowed into ETH ETFs during this period, representing nearly 25% of all ETF-based ETH capital since their U.S. debut in July 2024.
This momentum highlights a noticeable divergence between price action and investment behavior. Unlike speculative retail activity, these flows reflect long-term, high-conviction plays by institutional investors and wealth managers looking to position themselves ahead of the next growth cycle.
BlackRock’s ETHA ETF, the largest spot Ethereum fund in the U.S. by daily inflows, has added $576 - $600 million during this current streak. This has solidified ETHA’s role as the institutional gateway to Ethereum, attracting asset managers, family offices, and crypto hedge funds.
Meanwhile, Grayscale’s two spot ETH funds, ETHE and ETH, together manage over $4.09 billion, surpassing ETHA’s AUM of $4.8 billion. Other players like Fidelity and 21Shares hold smaller shares, but their steady participation underscores growing institutional diversification into Ethereum-specific products.

ETH is currently trading at $2,484, down around 6% over the past two weeks and far off from its 2025 peak of $3,700. The token also sits 33% below its all-time high of $4,878 from November 2021.
Despite minor price rallies throughout May and June, ETH has struggled to maintain upward momentum. Analysts attribute this to mixed macroeconomic indicators, declining retail activity, and cautious sentiment around altcoins.
Yet, the decoupling of price from ETF flows suggests that institutional investors are accumulating ETH at lower prices, anticipating a longer-term payoff.
Part of the investor optimism is rooted in Ethereum’s ongoing technical evolution. The recent Pectra upgrade (EIP-7702) has improved wallet security and flexibility, but it has yet to drive substantial increases in on-chain user activity.
According to JPMorgan analysts, the upgrade reflects Ethereum’s gradual shift toward institutional-grade infrastructure, similar to Bitcoin’s maturation period from 2020 to 2022.
Additional tailwinds include increasing Layer 2 adoption, growing stablecoin liquidity on Ethereum, and potential regulatory tailwinds for staking-enabled ETFs.
ETF provider REX Shares recently filed for the first staking-enabled Ethereum ETF in the U.S., a move that could drastically alter the ETF landscape by enabling yield generation through on-chain staking.
According to ETF analyst James Seyffart, REX has already prepared regulatory workarounds to bring this innovative product to market, pending SEC feedback.
The introduction of staking ETFs could attract a new class of yield-seeking institutional investors, further fueling inflows and driving up Ethereum demand without necessarily requiring speculative price rallies.
Ethereum ETFs recorded $281 million in inflows during the week ending June 6, extending a four-week streak and totaling over $856 million.
In contrast, Bitcoin ETFs saw $129 million in outflows the same week, with Fidelity’s FBTC alone losing $168 million. This divergence underscores growing institutional preference for Ethereum amid Bitcoin’s recent volatility.
Ethereum ETFs are proving that institutional conviction in ETH remains strong, even when price action doesn’t align. With $837.5 million in new capital and the potential for staking-enabled products on the horizon, ETH is quickly evolving from a speculative asset into a core financial instrument for long-term investment strategies.
The market may be cautious, but the message from institutions is clear: Ethereum is here to stay, and they’re buying in now.
