Ethereum ETFs Soar as Capital Stampede Hits DeFi’s Blue-Chip Asset

Wall Street's latest crypto crush just hit ludicrous speed—ETH ETFs are mooning on institutional FOMO.

Why the frenzy?

Traders are ditching 'safe' bonds for ETH's triple threat: smart contracts, staking yields, and that sweet regulatory gray area. BlackRock’s filing didn’t hurt either—nothing gets capital flowing like a trillion-dollar nod.

The irony? Banks now shilling 'decentralized' tech while taking 2% management fees. Stay decentralized, folks.

Major outflows were also reported from ETFs managed by Grayscale, Fidelity, Bitwise, and VanEck. Additionally, BlackRock’s IBIT, among others, recorded a neutral flow. In a contrasting trend, Fidelity’s ethereum ETF (FETH) welcomed a significant $126.93 million, while BlackRock’s ETHA saw a $102 million inflow.

Shift in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF Trends

Data from SoSoValue reflects a shift, showing that spot Bitcoin ETFs, which had attracted $6.12 billion in net inflows since July 1, turned negative on July 21. This negative turn was driven by neutral flows in IBIT and concurrent withdrawals from other major funds.

Conversely, the trend for Ethereum was favorable, with spot Ethereum ETFs experiencing one of their most robust inflow streaks since launch, totaling $3.53 billion over 12 days. On several occasions, Ethereum outperformed bitcoin on a daily basis, driven primarily by Fidelity and BlackRock. Additional positive flows were recorded by Grayscale Mini Ethereum Trust and Bitwise ETHW.

Could Capital Rotation Trigger a Broad Altcoin Season?

Min Jung, an analyst at Presto Research, commented that the ETF flows mirror a familiar rotation from Bitcoin to Ethereum. Jung suggests that investors who believe they missed the major Bitcoin rally are now turning their attention to Ethereum, the “king” of altcoins. He interprets the 5% reduction in Bitcoin’s market dominance in the past week as a sign of a downward shift in the risk curve.

The current market rally is predominantly driven by institutional capital. Jung notes that whether this shift will extend beyond large-cap altcoins remains uncertain, indicating the potential for a different scenario in this cycle.
