Ether ETFs Deliver Record-Breaking Inflows

The crypto ETF market saw a day for the history books on Monday, August 11, as Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded their largest single-day inflow ever — an astonishing $1.02 billion. The surge not only broke previous records but also cemented Ether’s position as a rapidly growing institutional asset.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs continued their steady climb, attracting $178.15 million in net inflows. Both asset classes recorded zero outflows, signaling robust institutional appetite and strong market sentiment.

Blackrock and Fidelity Lead the Ether ETF Charge

The lion’s share of the inflows went to industry giants:

• Blackrock’s ETHA: $639.79 million
• Fidelity’s FETH: $276.90 million
• Grayscale Ether Mini Trust: $66.57 million
• Grayscale ETHE: $13.01 million

Smaller but still notable entries included:

• Vaneck ETHV: $9.42 million
• Franklin EZET: $4.88 million
• Bitwise ETHW: $4.30 million
• 21shares CETH: $3.86 million

Trading activity in Ether ETFs hit $2.77 billion, pushing total net assets to a record $25.71 billion.

Bitcoin ETFs Maintain Steady Momentum

While Ether stole the spotlight, Bitcoin ETFs maintained solid inflows across the board:

• Blackrock IBIT: $138.25 million
• Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust: $14.24 million
• Fidelity FBTC: $12.99 million
• Grayscale GBTC: $7.49 million
• Bitwise BITB: $5.19 million

Total Bitcoin ETF trading reached $3.66 billion, with net assets climbing to $154.42 billion.

Institutional Appetite for Ether Accelerates

Monday’s results mark a significant shift in institutional demand. Historically, Bitcoin ETFs have dominated inflow charts, but the scale of Ether’s single-day performance shows that Ethereum’s investment case is resonating more strongly with large players.

Blackrock’s commanding inflow into ETHA — nearly two-thirds of the total — suggests targeted, high-confidence bets on Ethereum’s long-term prospects, possibly linked to its staking yield potential, growing DeFi ecosystem, and Layer-2 adoption.

Why Zero Outflows Matter

The fact that no ETFs in either category reported outflows is notable. This indicates that existing institutional holders are holding firm while new capital continues to pour in. Sustained patterns like this can serve as a bullish signal, especially when accompanied by high trading volume and growing net asset values.

Market Outlook

If these inflow trends continue through the week, August could set a new quarterly benchmark for crypto ETF performance. For Ether, the focus will be on whether this momentum can be maintained or if it represents a one-off surge driven by specific institutional moves.

Bitcoin, meanwhile, continues to play the role of steady, reliable market anchor, giving portfolio managers a balanced exposure between growth and stability.
