Ethereum ETFs have logged a notable $109.5 million in inflows during Tuesday’s trading session, marking the 12th consecutive day of positive institutional interest. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) led the charge, contributing $77.2 million of that total, according to Farside Investors. Fidelity’s FETH followed with $21 million, while Grayscale’s mini-Ether ETF (ETH) added $8.4 million.
This surge comes amid a broader shift in capital allocation. Analysts suggest that BlackRock may be rotating funds from its Bitcoin ETF (IBIT), which has seen outflows, into Ethereum. The trend reflects ETH’s consistent outperformance against Bitcoin since mid-April, attracting greater institutional interest.
ETHA Share Price Jumps 45% in a Month
Massive capital inflows have sparked a 45% monthly surge in BlackRock’s ETHA share price. Although still down 25% year-to-date, the ETF’s rebound could accelerate if this trend continues. ETHA now manages $3.7 billion in assets and holds over 1.4 million ETH.
BlackRock is also pushing for regulatory approval to allow staking within Ether ETFs. If greenlit by the SEC in Q3 2025, it would mark a significant milestone—enabling investors to earn staking rewards from Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Ethereum holdings. However, recent comments from the SEC suggest that such features may face hurdles due to concerns under securities law.

Ethereum Whale Accumulation Signals Bullish Momentum
In addition to ETF momentum, large-scale Ethereum whale activity has buoyed ETH’s price above $2,600. Blockchain intelligence firm Arkham identified a massive OTC transaction of 108,278 ETH—worth approximately $283 million. Meanwhile, Galaxy Digital withdrew 89,000 ETH (valued at $233.5 million) from exchanges within 12 hours, signaling confidence in Ethereum’s near-term price prospects.
These movements underscore rising investor optimism in Ethereum’s fundamentals, amplified by ETF inflows and whale accumulation. As institutional and high-net-worth players deepen their exposure to ETH, the altcoin appears well-positioned for continued upward momentum.
