BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF Dominates with $1B Inflows in August 2025—Crypto Winter Thawing?
Wall Street's crypto embrace hits hyperdrive as institutional money floods Ethereum ETFs.
The big guns are loading up
BlackRock just vacuumed up a billion dollars in ETH exposure last month—proving even old-school finance giants can't ignore smart contract platforms when fees get juicy enough.
Mainstream money meets DeFi rails
That $1B inflow didn't materialize from crypto OGs—this is fresh capital from pension funds and family offices finally getting FOMO after years of pretending blockchain was 'just for drug dealers.'
The cynical take
Watch how fast these same institutions pivot to calling themselves 'Web3 pioneers' after spending a decade lobbying against cryptocurrency. Nothing moves faster than Wall Street chasing 20% yields.
