Ethereum exchange traded funds (ETFs) have just set a new record, exceeding $1 billion in daily inflows for the first time ever. This significant surge was recorded on August 11th, 2025 according to data from SoSo Value, marking a remarkable jump from the previous $461.21 million recorded on August 8th, 2025. This shift has ignited waves in the cryptocurrency market as Ethereum ETFs show impressive momentum. Analysts attribute this rise to expanding DeFi applications and increased institutional investment, contributing to ETH’s current price of $4,312.17. It’s worth noting that this record-breaking inflow follows a significant surge witnessed on July 15th, 2025, where net inflows exceeded $192.33 million. This is now the second time Ethereum ETFs have broken the $1 billion barrier. 80% of these inflows were driven by institutional investors like BitMine and Sharplink, who are heavily investing in ETH. This surge in buying and investor confidence has fueled a rapid rise for ETH over recent weeks. Blackrock (ETHA) took the lead in net inflow on August 11th with $639.79 million, followed by Fidelity and Grayscale. This success comes as Ethereum ETFs continue to surpass Bitcoin in daily inflows, although both remain relatively stable. While Bitcoin has maintained its steady performance, Ethereum’s continued upward trajectory is causing excitement within the cryptocurrency market.
