On August 12, U.S. spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) drew in $523.9 million in net inflows. This growth came right after a historic milestone on August 11, when Ethereum ETFs collectively crossed the $1 billion mark in total net inflows for the first time since their launch in July 2024.

Inflow Rises as ETH Price Approaches $4,800 All-Time High

According to Farside Investor data, six of the nine Ethereum ETFs posted gains on August 12, signaling another day of heavy institutional buying.

The largest deposit came from BlackRock’s ETHA, which pulled in a substantial $318.7 million. Fidelity’s FETH followed with $144.9 million, while Grayscale’s Mini Ether Trust added $44.3 million.

Smaller funds also contributed to the momentum.

Grayscale’s ETHE recorded $9.3 million in inflows. VanEck21’s ETHV brought in $4.9 million, and Shares’ CETH added $1.8 million.

While the amounts vary, together they represent a steady and broad-based demand for Ethereum ETFs across the market.

This marks the sixth consecutive day of net positive flows. In that short period, Ethereum ETFs have absorbed more than $2.33 billion in new capital. As a result, they now collectively hold $27.6 billion in assets, around 4.8% of Ethereum’s total market capitalization.

The timing also adds to the excitement. The ETH price is closing in on its all-time high of $4,891, set in November 2021.

At press time, ETH is up 8.37%, exchanging hands at $4,639. The price also increased 26% over the past week. These rapid gains attract not only crypto enthusiasts but also traditional investors seeking high-growth opportunities.

Market observers say this could be the early stages of a larger trend.

Nate Geraci, President of NovaDius Wealth, explained in an X post that the latest inflows into Ethereum ETFs in a single day reflect a fundamental shift in investor sentiment.

He added that since the beginning of July, Ethereum ETFs have attracted nearly $1.5 billion more than Bitcoin ETFs, a reversal of the long-standing dominance Bitcoin enjoyed in the ETF space.

Looking at the bigger picture, the shift is even more striking. Since May 2025, Ethereum ETFs have brought in over $8 billion in net inflows. With the latest figures included, their total stands at $11.35 billion.

Treasury Accumulation May Push ETH Price to $5,000 as Altcoin Season Heats Up

Ethereum continues to dominate as the largest altcoin in the crypto market, and signs suggest the altcoin season has kicked into full swing.

Other altcoins are joining the rally. In the past 24 hours, Solana (SOL) jumped 12.31%, Chainlink (LINK) rose 10.94%, and Cardano (ADA) gained 8.02%.

While the entire sector is showing bullish momentum, Ethereum is positioned to benefit the most.

A growing wave of ETH treasury accumulation is adding a new layer of demand—one that could help push the ETH price beyond $5,000.

On July 17, BTC Digital (BTCT), a Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin mining company, announced a full overhaul of its treasury management. Instead of holding Bitcoin, it is now converting all current and future reserves into Ethereum.

SharpLink Gaming has taken a similar approach, but with even larger numbers. The company recently announced a $200 million stock sale to expand its ETH treasury.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has voiced his approval of this rising corporate adoption. He believes that companies holding ETH create more avenues for investors to gain exposure to Ethereum.

In his view, these corporate treasuries widen the asset’s reach and strengthen its position in the global investment landscape.
