Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States recently hit a major milestone. For the first time ever, these funds pulled in over $1 billion from investors in a single day. This surge, recorded on Monday, August 11, signals a robust appetite from large financial players.
Data from SoSoValue shows that the nine US-traded Ethereum ETFs saw a historic net inflow of $1.02 billion. This figure easily beat the previous record of $726.6 million, which was set on June 15. This massive cash injection came as Ether (ETH), the cryptocurrency underlying Ethereum, climbed towards its 2021 high points.
This recent influx extends a positive streak for Ether ETFs. They have enjoyed five straight days of net inflows, totaling more than $1.8 billion since August 5. While there were a couple of days with outflows earlier in the month, the overall trend has been strongly positive. In fact, these ETFs have seen positive inflows for 14 consecutive weeks, their longest such period.
BlackRock’s ETHA fund led the charge on Monday, pulling in just under $640 million. Fidelity’s FETH followed, attracting $276.9 million. Eight out of the nine funds finished the day with positive flows. This brought the total accumulated inflows for Ethereum ETFs to $10.8 billion since their launch in July 2025. The total assets under management for this group now sit at $25.71 billion, making up 4.77% of Ethereum’s total market value.
Ether’s price climbed to $4,350 on Monday. It continued its ascent on Tuesday morning, pushing past $4,400. This is Ether’s highest price point since the bull market of 2021, according to CoinGecko data. This recent climb for Ether came after a US inflation report. The report boosted hopes that the Federal Reserve would cut interest rates in September, making riskier assets more appealing. The CME FedWatch Tool suggests there’s about a 90% chance of a 25-basis-point rate cut in September.
While other major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin also saw gains, with Bitcoin rising above $119,000 on Tuesday, Ether has been leading the pack. This is partly due to aggressive buying from companies holding Ether in their treasuries. BitMine Immersion Technologies, for instance, holds over 1.15 million ETH, making it the largest corporate Ether holder. On Tuesday, the company announced plans to expand its fundraising to $20 billion to buy more ETH over time. Overall, more than 70 entities collectively hold nearly $16 billion worth of ETH in their treasuries, according to data.
Ether has gained over 30% so far in 2025, now outperforming Bitcoin for the year. The second-largest cryptocurrency has jumped over 50% in the last month and 21% in the past week. It was trading around $4,395 at the time of this report.
