🚀 Ethereum ETFs Outpace Bitcoin as Wall Street Pours Billions Into Crypto

Move over, Bitcoin—the smart money's betting on ETH.

### Institutional Floodgates Swing Open

BlackRock and Fidelity aren't dipping toes anymore—they're cannonballing into Ethereum's liquidity pool. Last week's SEC filings show ETF approvals accelerating faster than a DeFi exploit.

### The Yield Play Driving Demand

Staking rewards are pulling TradFi players like moths to a blockchain flame. Why settle for Bitcoin's digital gold narrative when you can earn 5% on your bags? (Just don't ask about the gas fees.)

### The Cynic's Corner

Funny how these same institutions that called crypto a 'fraud' in 2022 now can't shovel money in fast enough. Almost like... profits cure moral objections?

Bottom line: The ETF arms race proves crypto's not just alive—it's eating traditional finance from the inside out.

• Ethereum ETFs recorded 45,980 ETH in weekly inflows, significantly ahead of Bitcoin ETFs’ 7,726 BTC.
• iShares ETHA led with 33,500 ETH added, followed by Fidelity’s FETH with 25,000 ETH in inflows.
• Total ETH held in ETFs has reached 4.12 million ETH, showing strong institutional interest and allocation momentum.

Ethereum ETFs are beating their Bitcoin peers in a clear-cut victory, highlighting rising institutional demand for ETH. Nine ethereum ETFs based in the United States saw a weekly net inflow of 45,980 ETH based on Coinglass data last updated on July 3, 2025, far outrunning the 7,726 BTC taken in by Bitcoin ETFs for the same timeframe.

In the past 24 hours alone, Ethereum ETFs saw 16,509 ETH flow in, roughly eight times the 2,226 BTC invested in Bitcoin products. Leading the way was the iShares ETH Trust (ETHA), which saw over 33,500 ETH flow in for the week, with second place going to Fidelity’s 25,000 ETH for their FETH ETF.

Bitwise and Invesco also built notable positions, while for the second week running, Grayscale’s ETHE was an outlier with a 7,667 ETH redemption, showing further portfolio rotation on the part of providers.

iShares’ fund holds approximately 1.77 million ETH worth $4.65 billion, and in this single week alone, Fidelity put in another 24,125 ETH. Total Ethereum ETF positions aggregate to 4.12 million ETH, worth approximately $10.83 billion, and show not only enthusiasm but also spirited institutional allocations.

Ethereum ETFs Surge as Bitcoin Flows Stumble

Bitcoin ETFs are mixed in comparison. Whilst Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund grew by 1,856 BTC and ARK’s ETF grew by 1,828 BTC, Grayscale’s GBTC lost 1,187 BTC in one day to continue its ongoing months-long exodus of capital. Even BlackRock’s biggest BTC ETF by far, its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) with 696,875 BTC, had zero net inflows in yesterday’s daily tally.

Inflows of a clear institutional rotation to Ethereum are leading to a straight line to ETH’s soft price rally around the $2,500 level and an overall re-evaluation of Ethereum’s role in future financial architecture.

By virtue of rising diversified participation and surging inflows by several ETF issuers, ETH is gaining acceptance outside of speculative circles and is gaining prominence as a vehicle of choice for long-term strategic allocation. This week’s data is crystal clear: ETH is no longer second in line in portfolios of institutions.

As the rotation of capital increases and allocation frequency grows, market participants and fund managers will also need to account for Ethereum’s increased prominence not just in terms of price action but also of portfolio stance.
