U.S. spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) crossed the $1 billion mark in net inflows for the first time on Monday, August 11, 2025, marking a record since their launch in July 2024.
ETFs are controlled investment funds that trade on the stock market, and they enable investors to access the value of an asset, such as Ethereum, without having to purchase and hold the cryptocurrency.
Ethereum is the second largest cryptocurrency in the world after Bitcoin. It drives a blockchain network that supports decentralized finance (DeFi), smart contracts, and Web3 apps.
BlackRock, Fidelity Lead the Inflow Surge
According to data from SoSoValue, the nine spot Ether ETFs brought in $1.02 billion in a single day. BlackRock’s ETHA, from the world’s largest asset manager, led with $639.8 million in net inflows.
Fidelity’s FETH followed with $276.9 million, its biggest single-day inflow ever. Grayscale’s Mini Ether Trust added $66.57 million, while its larger ETHE fund attracted $13 million. Other issuers, including Bitwise, 21Shares, Franklin Templeton, and VanEck, also posted gains.
Since May, spot Ether ETFs have drawn over $8 billion in net inflows. Monday’s surge pushed the total to $10.83 billion. Vincent Liu, CIO at Kronos Research, said the rise is fueled by “relentless regulatory tailwinds and record-breaking TradFi treasury allocations.”
By comparison, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $178.15 million in inflows on Monday. According to the CoinMarketCap Data, Ethereum’s price has surged 45% over the past month, trading at $4,303 despite a slight 0.59% dip in the past 24 hours.
