Crypto ETFs see over $1.1 billion in net inflows as Ethereum sets single-day record. While US crypto ETFs posted one of its strongest sessions on record with combined net inflows across spot ETH and BTC funds surpassing $1.1 billion, Ethereum was the clear winner. Ether ETFs recorded more than $1 billion in a single trading day on 11 August 2025- an ATH for any US crypto ETF product!
Notably, the staggering crypto ETF net inflows was largely driven by BlackRock and Fidelity’s flagship funds. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) led decisively with about $640 million in net inflows, while Fidelity’s FETH followed with roughly $276-$277 million.
“Corporate treasuries are acquiring ETH at twice the rate of BTC,” said Geoff Kendrick of Standard Chartered.

Institutions Could End Up Holding 10% of ETH
Kendrick projects that institutions could control 10% of Ethereum’s total supply, which could top $45 billion by the end of 2025.
99Bitcoins analysts credit staking yields and DeFi integrations as key reasons ETH is outperforming Bitcoin.
Ethereum is back on top. It hasn’t become the Web3 “world computer;” NFTs are still dead, but what we’re seeing is corner offices starting to treat it like gold.
3.2 billion hit ETH ETFs in July alone, a stampede that added $150 billion to ETH ▼-0.75%‘s market value.
Another major tailwind is that the SEC has finally approved in-kind creation/redemption for crypto ETFs. That means institutions can now exchange ETH or BTC directly for ETF shares, instead of using cash. “It’s a new day at the SEC, these approvals will make crypto ETPs less costly and more efficient,” said SEC Chairman Paul Atkins.
