ETH ETF Inflows Surge to $112M as Institutions Lead the Charge

As of June 13, ETH ETF inflows surged to $112.3 million, making it one of the most active days for Ethereum spot funds this year. Analyst Ted Pillows confirmed the development and noted this rise continues a broader accumulation trend. The latest surge came just a day after BlackRock saw $240.3 million in inflows. This is the highest since February 5, when it secured $274 million in Ethereum. This aggressive buying phase has brought total ETH ETF inflows over the past four days to more than $489 million. Both BlackRock and Fidelity added to their positions, with Bitwise and smaller players showing marginal activity. 

Flow Trend Shows Renewed Momentum Since June 9

ETH ETF inflows began to accelerate from June 9 onwards. On that day, combined flows exceeded $52 million, largely driven by BlackRock and Fidelity. By June 10, the momentum picked up further, with nearly $84 million entering Ethereum ETFs. The largest daily inflow came on June 11, when BlackRock received over $160 million in a single session.

Analyst Ted Pillows called this the biggest inflow since February 5, emphasizing the scale of institutional demand. Fidelity also contributed significantly, reinforcing the narrative that Ethereum is becoming a core institutional asset. As of June 12, an additional $112.3 million had flowed in, pushing the total to new highs. Ted also stated that an Ethereum whale bought $100,260,000 $ETH over the past 6 hours. Arkam Analytics confirmed that BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF wallet had logged the highest inflow in four months, validating this rapid accumulation trend.

BlackRock and Fidelity Drive ETH ETF Growth

Institutional activity continued to dominate the ETH ETF landscape this week. Arkham’s on-chain analysis showed that BlackRock’s Ethereum wallet received a substantial deposit, cementing its commitment to Ethereum alongside its dominant Bitcoin ETF strategy. Bloomberg analysts recently placed BlackRock’s BTC ETF in the top 20 globally, suggesting a parallel focus may now apply to Ethereum. The firm has publicly stated that Ethereum, Bitcoin, and tokenized funds form the core of its future digital asset vision.

Fidelity, another major player, has also shown consistent inflow patterns throughout the week, participating in multiple buying sessions. Their actions reflect rising confidence in Ethereum’s future role in portfolios that once only favored Bitcoin. Ethereum Foundation activity added another layer to the week’s narrative. On-chain tracker Lookonchain reported that the foundation transferred 1,000 ETH, worth $2.47 million, to wallet address 0xc061. This move occurred in the same timeframe that institutions ramped up ETF buying. While not directly connected, the timing suggests internal repositioning ahead of expected volatility or upcoming developments.

ETH Price and Futures Reflect Strengthening Market Structure

Ethereum’s price hovered around $2,519.41 on June 13 after briefly nearing the $3,000 mark earlier in the week. The rally followed a breakout from a month-long consolidation phase. Wise Crypto noted a 14.6% weekly gain on June 12, supported by renewed investor interest. However, the Liveliness metric showed that long-term holders had begun selling into the rally, suggesting profit-taking at resistance near $2,814.

Futures market data also showed historic growth. Glassnode reported on June 12 that Ethereum futures open interest hit a new all-time high of $20 billion. This spike came even as prices showed a slight retracement from the highs. The buildup indicates rising leverage and growing trader conviction, especially among those using stablecoin-collateralized positions.

Additionally, on June 11, Ted Pillows highlighted a large whale position of $11.15 million at $2,758.35 using 25x leverage, underlining institutional risk appetite driven by cooling inflation and hopes for U.S. interest rate cuts. If this inflow momentum continues, Ethereum ETFs may attract even more attention from asset managers seeking diversification beyond Bitcoin.

ETH ETF Strong Inflows Signal Rising Institutional Confidence

ETH ETF inflows now point to a broader institutional shift toward Ethereum as a long-term asset. Strong futures activity, elevated staking yields, and integration into DeFi continue to differentiate Ethereum from other assets. Institutional purchases by BlackRock and Fidelity suggest strategic positioning rather than short-term speculation. Upcoming trends to monitor include the pace of inflows over the next two weeks, Ethereum’s volatility against BTC, and how upcoming macroeconomic signals influence leveraged bets. Staking dynamics and Ethereum’s Layer 2 scaling also remain critical to the asset’s long-term utility. The recent ETF activity confirms Ethereum’s growing stature in global investment narratives.

On June 13, Glassnode shared that Ethereum Spot ETF inflows hit 5x weekly average. Ethereum spot ETFs are gaining serious momentum. This week alone, they’ve recorded a massive 154,000 ETH in inflows. Notably, the largest single-day inflow this month occurred on June 11, with 77,000 ETH pouring into these funds, highlighting growing institutional interest and confidence in Ethereum’s long-term potential.
