BlackRock Ethereum ETFs Dominate Inflows

BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) has been dominating the overall inflows into spot Ether ETFs, suggesting strong institutional demand for the asset class. The official BlackRock website shows that ETHA’s assets under management currently stand at $3.9 billion. At the same time, its ETH holdings stand at 1.1513 million.

After facing some selling pressure last week, ETHA share price has seen a strong bounce back from $18.0 levels, surging 4% on Monday, and is back to trading at $19.56. The stock has gained an additional 4.14% today in the pre-market trading hours on US, thereby moving to $20.38. Over the past month, the ETHA stock has faced multiple rejections at $20.5. Crossing this resistance could lead to a major breakout on the upside.

In addition to BlackRock Ethereum ETF, other ETF issuers like Fidelity and Grayscale have been partially contributing to the inflows. This is also the longest inflow streak registered by spot Ether ETFs, this year in 2025.

These recent inflows have also been accompanied by a surge in the ETH price, gaining 7% in the last 24 hours and reaching closer to $2,700 once again. This upside comes with an 83% surge in daily trading volumes, now reaching over $26 billion.

Demand for Staking on Spot Ether ETFs Rises Again

Amid the strong inflows into the BlackRock Ethereum ETF, analysts are hopeful that the asset manager will push for introducing a staking facility for the ETF. Although the US SEC delayed past proposals from 21Shares last month, market experts believe that the securities regulator would eventually approve them.

Experts also believe that if Ethereum ETF staking transactions are approved, it could trigger a historic surge in ETH price while leading to a broader altcoins market rally ahead.
