Ethereum ETFs Crush Bitcoin: $1.8B Floods In During Just One Week
Move over, Bitcoin—Ethereum’s stealing the spotlight. US spot ETH ETFs just racked up a jaw-dropping $1.8 billion in weekly inflows, leaving BTC’s products eating dust. Guess Wall Street finally found a shiny new toy.
The ETF Gold Rush 2.0
While Bitcoin ETFs bled dry last quarter, Ethereum’s funds turned into money magnets. Institutions are piling in like it’s 2021 all over again—except this time they’re pretending to care about ‘utility’ instead of just memecoins.
Why TradFi’s Betting Big on ETH
Smart contracts? Decentralized apps? Try ‘regulatory arbitrage.’ With the SEC’s crypto crackdown looming, ETH’s quasi-security status makes it the perfect hedge for risk-averse suits. Nothing like some legal gray area to get the money flowing.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin maximalists are coping hard—turns out ‘digital gold’ gets dull when there’s actual yield up for grabs. The crypto winter’s over. The ETF wars? Just heating up.
US spot ethereum ETFs attracted $1.85 billion in inflows last week, dramatically surpassing the $72 million brought in by Bitcoin ETFs. This marks one of the strongest weekly performances for Ethereum ETFs, highlighting growing institutional interest and sustained momentum in Ether-based investment products. Market leaders like BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF accounted for much of the inflow, reflecting a shift in investor focus from Bitcoin to Ethereum during July’s trading sessions
