Ethereum ETFs draw $287 million in inflows after 4 day outflow streak

Ethereum-focused exchange-traded funds saw a notable reversal on Aug. 21 by recording an inflow of $287 million, which ended a four-day streak of investor withdrawals.

Farside Investors data showed that the surge was driven primarily by BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), which drew the largest share of inflows at $233.5 million. Fidelity’s FETH followed by attracting an additional $28.5 million in fresh capital.

Meanwhile, other ETFs, including Bitwise ETHW, VanEck’s ETHV, and two Grayscale Ethereum products, collectively brought in around $25 million.

These inflows helped offset the significant outflows of more than $925 million recorded in the prior four trading sessions between Aug. 15 and Aug. 20.

Notably, the rebound pushed the Ethereum ETFs’ net inflows above $12 billion and their total assets valued at approximately $27 billion.

The nine Ethereum ETF holdings reached an all-time high of 6.069 million ETH on Aug. 19, up from 4.15 million ETH on Jul. 8. This represents an increase of roughly 1.92 million ETH, or 46%, over six weeks.

Market analyst CryptoOnChain said the surge highlights a structural shift in how Ethereum is held, with more supply now locked in long-term investment vehicles.

Meanwhile, the analyst also noted that the growing concentration of ETH in ETFs has several market implications.

With substantial portions of Ethereum effectively removed from daily trading, spot market liquidity thins, making prices more sensitive to large trades, including rebalancing or redemption events.

The inflows create a bullish foundation by sustaining demand, while any slowdown or reversal in ETF purchases could create selling pressure that impacts broader market pricing.
