15-day streak brings Ethereum ETFs to record high cumulative inflow value

Spot Ethereum ETFs in the U.S. market have reached their highest cumulative inflow level since the funds launched in July 2024 as ETH's nearly 40% price gain over the past month is met with increased demand from institutional and retail investors. 

The ETFs have recorded overall net positive inflows for the past 15 trading days, the longest such streak since late November to early December of 2024. BlackRock's ETHA fund, the largest such fund on the market by assets under management (AUM), has added nearly $600 million in inflows over the duration of the streak, which began on May 16, according to SoSoValue data. 

Following Friday's trading, the nine spot Ethereum ETFs reached a total cumulative inflow value of $3.33 billion, a gain of $820 million since the beginning of the streak. The inflows did appear to slow slightly on Thursday and Friday, each day seeing the lowest inflow levels since May 21.

The inflow streak comes following Ethereum's recent Pectra upgrade, which has led to increased institutional investment in the Ethereum ecosystem, but hasn't yet manifested in increased user activity, JPMorgan analysts recently concluded. "This strategic shift towards encouraging further institutional engagement mirrors the trend seen in Bitcoin, where corporate and institutional engagement has significantly enhanced its appeal," the analysts said previously. 

Though BlackRock's ETHA leads the pack as the single fund with the highest AUM, Grayscale's two spot Ethereum ETFs, ETHE ($2.82 billion AUM) and ETH ($1.27 billion AUM) combined have slightly more in net assets than ETHA, with $4.09 billion in total. Fidelity's fund, in fourth place, has an AUM of $1.09 billion, with no other fund above the $250 million mark. 

Bitcoin funds retreat slightly

U.S.-based spot Bitcoin ETFs also recently hit a record-high cumulative inflow value, topping out at $45.34 billion on May 28. Since that date, the funds have shed over $1 billion in inflows, reaching $44.24 billion as of the end of the trading day Friday. 

BlackRock's IBIT has a more dominant lead over its competitors in the Bitcoin arena; its $69 billion AUM dwarfs its largest competitors, Fidelity's FBTC ($20.51 billion AUM) and Grayscale's GBTC ($19.32 billion). 

The price of BTC rebounded on Friday after a spat between President Trump and former top advisor Elon Musk exploded on social media, triggering a broad-based sell-off across traditional equities and digital assets.
