BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF ($ETHA) Goes Ballistic: 200% July Surge Shakes Crypto Markets

Wall Street's crypto love affair hits hyperdrive as BlackRock's $ETHA ETF triples down on Ethereum.

The whale move no one saw coming

While traditional finance dinosaurs debate blockchain, BlackRock just parked its brontosaurus-sized wallet in ETH. July's 200% holdings spike screams institutional conviction—or maybe just FOMO at 2AM.

When the world's largest asset manager starts accumulating like a degen, even Bitcoin maxis check their portfolios twice. The real question: Is this smart money getting ahead of ETH 2.0—or another case of suits chasing last quarter's performance?

One thing's certain: the 'institutional adoption' narrative just got a triple-shot espresso boost. Now if only they'd stop calling it 'the Ethereum thing.'

BlackRock, a prominent spot Bitcoin ($BTC) and ethereum ($ETH) ETF issuer, has recorded a staggering growth over the past month. As per the data from Sentora, formerly known as IntoTheBlock, the iShares Ethereum Trust ($ETHA) of BlackRock has witnessed an over $7B growth in assets under management (AUM) in July, denoting a more than 200% 1-month upsurge.

BlackRock's Ethereum ETF (ETHA) AUM increased by over $7 billion in July alone, a +200% increase in holdings during a single month.

In its recent X post, the AI-driven financial analytics firm has labeled this notable expansion within only one month. As a result of this, $ETHA now accounts for 3M $ETH in holdings, representing 2.52% of the total circulating supply of Ethereum.

According to Sentora, $ETHA’s trading activity has also experienced an intensified trading activity as the daily volume thereof has touched $32.7M. At the same time, its overall value traded climbed to $936.21M on July’s last day. This has pushed the $ETH holdings of the fund from below 1,000 to more than 5,000 units. Moreover, as the flagship altcoin keeps evolving, the involvement of BlackRock may catalyze wider participation from conventional finance entities.
