Ethereum ETF Surge: $457M Inflow Streak Bolsters $ETH Price Above $3,145
A three-day wave of institutional investment has poured into Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), signaling a notable shift in market sentiment. Between January 2 and January 6, these products attracted a net total of $457.3 million, with daily inflows peaking at $114.74 million on the final day.
The rally was disproportionately led by a single fund. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) accounted for a remarkable $198.8 million of inflows on January 6 alone—representing 173% of the net total for all Ethereum ETFs that day. This substantial move coincided with the fund adding approximately 61,360 ETH to its reserves, cementing its influential position within the market.
Other issuers saw more measured interest. Products from Bitwise (ETHW) and 21Shares (TETH) registered modest gains. This inflow trend stood in clear opposition to Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust (ETHE), which continued to see capital exit, recording outflows near $53 million over the tracked period.
The concentrated institutional demand provided a key support level for Ether’s price, helping it maintain a floor above $3,145 despite broader market volatility. Analysts suggest the sustained ETF interest is reinforcing a constructive medium-term outlook for Ethereum.
This Ethereum-specific momentum creates a stark divergence with the Bitcoin ETF landscape. On the same January 6 date that Ethereum funds saw significant inflows, Bitcoin ETFs collectively faced net outflows of $243.24 million, underscoring a potential rotation in institutional portfolio strategy.
