ETF Inflows Hit Record Highs as Ethereum Leads Weekend Rally, Outperforming Bitcoin

Ethereum (ETH) — the world's second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap — had an explosive weekend, outperforming Bitcoin on the back of strong inflows into spot ETFs and a new treasury accumulation trend among publicly listed companies. According to the data, since the start of 2025, the 9 spot Ethereum ETFs listed in the U.S. have attracted a combined $6.7 billion in net inflows. In late July alone, ETH ETFs logged a record $2.4 billion in just 6 days, far surpassing the $827 million recorded by Bitcoin ETFs over the same period. This dynamic signals a clear institutional capital rotation from BTC into ETH.

ETF Inflows Hit Record Highs as Ethereum Leads Weekend Rally, Outperforming Bitcoin

Ethereum (ETH) — the world's second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap — had an explosive weekend, outperforming Bitcoin on the back of strong inflows into spot ETFs and a new treasury accumulation trend among publicly listed companies.

According to the data, since the start of 2025, the 9 spot Ethereum ETFs listed in the U.S. have attracted a combined $6.7 billion in net inflows. In late July alone, ETH ETFs logged a record $2.4 billion in just 6 days, far surpassing the $827 million recorded by Bitcoin ETFs over the same period. This dynamic signals a clear institutional capital rotation from BTC into ETH.

On Monday morning (Asia time), ETH was up 2.9%, breaking above $4,300 — its highest level since December 2021 — and has gained 20% over the past 7 days. Bitcoin also notched $121,000, approaching its all-time high.

Beyond ETFs, corporate treasuries are emerging as another key driver. U.S.-listed companies now hold approximately $13 billion in ETH, with more than $1.5 billion purchased in the past month alone — mirroring the trend seen when Bitcoin was adopted as a corporate reserve asset in prior years.

Derivatives markets are reinforcing the bullish signal: ETH futures on the CME are trading at an annualized premium of >10% over spot, higher than that of Bitcoin. This indicates traders are making aggressive bets on ETH's upside.

According to Swissblock, if this trend continues, Ethereum could displace Bitcoin as the market's leading asset in the next growth cycle.

Ethereum's momentum has even spilled into the political arena. Eric Trump — son of former U.S. President Donald Trump — publicly praised ETH's rally on X, as Trump family-backed crypto projects such as World Liberty Financial weigh plans for a broader public listing.

With the convergence of ETF inflows, corporate accumulation strategies, and strong signals from derivatives markets, Ethereum is entering a phase that many analysts view as having the potential to outperform even Bitcoin in the near to medium term.
