rewrite this title Ethereum ETF inflows reach second-highest level in 2025 as ETH’s market confidence climbs

Investor demand for Ethereum-backed spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is heating up amid the asset’s bullish price moves.

According to data from SoSoValue, spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $240 million in net daily inflows on June 11, their second-highest total for 2025.

BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) led the charge with $160 million inflows, followed by Fidelity’s FETH at $37 million. Grayscale’s two Ethereum products brought in more than $32 million, while Bitwise’s ETHW fund added another $6 million.

This marks the strongest inflow day for Ethereum ETFs since Feb. 2, when combined inflows surpassed $300 million.

It also continues a rising trend where investors have added capital to Ethereum ETFs for 18 consecutive trading sessions, pushing cumulative inflows over the past few weeks to approximately $1.2 billion.

Nate Geraci, president of ETF Store, highlighted the resilience of this trend despite structural limitations. He noted that the current ETF offerings do not yet support staking rewards or in-kind transactions, leaving further room for future product evolution.

Ethereum-linked ETFs hold $3.74 billion in net inflows and $11.05 billion in net assets, representing around 3.25% of the crypto’s market value.

Bullish sentiments surround Ethereum

Ethereum’s strengthening ETF flows mirror a broader bullish turn in its market performance. The asset recently climbed past $2,800, its highest level in nearly four months.

Valentin Fournier, lead research analyst at BRN, told CryptoSlate that ETH’s growing inflows and sustained strength suggest it is well-positioned to lead the next market rally, driven by increasing institutional confidence in the asset.

This bullish view is unsurprising considering the derivative markets reflect rising institutional interest. According to CryptoSlate’s Insight, open interest in Ethereum futures recently set a new record, topping $41 billion.

Market observers linked this surge in activity to Ethereum’s successful Pectra upgrade in May. The update tackled long-standing challenges and made the network more attractive to developers and users.

Besides that, regulatory signals have also added to the positive outlook.

US SEC Chair Paul Atkins recently suggested that the agency is considering regulatory flexibility for DeFi participants. Such moves are seen as a step toward creating a more supportive environment for blockchain innovation that would significantly benefit ETH’s growth.

Observers also point to recent developments at the Ethereum Foundation as further evidence of the blockchain network’s ambition to cement its leadership among smart contract-enabled platforms.
