Wall Street's latest gold rush sends ETH into the stratosphere—just don't ask about the landing.


ETF Cash Firehose Hits Crypto

Institutional money flooded Ethereum at a record pace last month, with ETF inflows hitting $726 million as traders chased the 40% price surge. The smart contract platform turned into a speculative rocket ship—fueled by the same financial players who called it a 'scam' three years ago.


Gas Fees Meet Wall Street Fees

Traditional finance's embrace comes with irony: the 'decentralized' asset now dances to the tune of SEC-approved products. Meanwhile, blockchain purists grumble about centralization while cashing out profits.

This isn't adoption—it's financialization. And like all good bubbles, everyone's invited until the music stops.

Ethereum Price Explodes 40% in July as ETF Inflows Hit Record $726M

The crypto market today is showing strong bullish momentum, with the ethereum price emerging as the clear leader. On July 14, Bitcoin price briefly touched $123,000 before cooling off. 

While BTC posted a modest 0.7% gain in the past 24 hours, ethereum surged by 7.3%, XRP by 7.7%, BNB by 3.4%, Solana by 5.2%, Dogecoin by 7%, and Cardano by 3.7%, signaling a potential altcoin season.

Why Ethereum Is Soaring: Spot ETFs See Historic Inflows

Ethereum ETFs

Ethereum’s price explosion is largely driven by unprecedented inflows into U.S. spot Ether ETFs. According to data from Coinglass, July 14 saw a record-breaking $726.6 million net inflow into ETH ETFs—the largest daily intake since launch.

Here’s a breakdown of the top ETF inflows:

  • BlackRock’s ETHA: $499.2 million
  • Fidelity’s FETH: $113.3 million
  • Grayscale ETHE: $33 million
  • Grayscale ETH: $54.2 million
  • Bitwise ETHW: $14.4 million
  • Franklin’s EZET: $5.1 million
  • VanEck’s ETHV: $3.7 million
  • Invesco’s QETH: $3.7 million

Combined, these ETFs now hold over 5 million ETH, nearly 4% of Ethereum’s total circulating supply (120.7M ETH).

Ethereum Supply Crisis? ETF Demand vs. ETH Issuance

Ethereum’s net issuance is unable to keep up with institutional demand. Over the past 24 hours:

  • ETH issued by the network: ~$6.74 million worth
  • ETH purchased by ETFs: Over 107x that amount

This massive imbalance between issuance and ETF buying could lead to supply-side pressure, potentially driving ETH prices even higher in the short term.

ETH Price Performance: A 40% Monthly Rally

As of writing, Ethereum is trading at $3,378.77, marking a 40.4% increase since July 1, when it stood at just $2,403.27. The 14-day price gain stands at 30.5%, highlighting growing institutional interest and strong investor sentiment.

Is Altcoin Season Here?The latest price action suggests a full-blown altcoin rotation is underway. As Bitcoin dominance shows signs of retreat, capital appears to be flowing into Ethereum and other major altcoins, which are now posting larger gains than BTC.
