Although BlackRock’s IBIT is the traditional leader in the crypto ETF market, the company’s Ethereum product had higher inflows this week. In fact, ETHA had the second-highest inflows of all US ETFs, an impressive record.
After weeks of aggressive corporate Bitcoin investment, Ethereum is growing as a popular choice. This trend may buoy the token’s market presence as an altcoin season looks possible.
Ethereum ETFs on the Rise
IBIT, BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, has been heralded as the “greatest launch in stock exchange history.” Last month, it became the firm’s biggest ETF by fee revenues, and it may surpass Satoshi’s BTC wallet in less than a year.
However, in a notable upset, BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF saw even greater inflows this week:

Bitcoin ETFs have seen strong institutional support thanks to aggressive corporate investment, so it’s a little surprising to see Ethereum products eat their lunch.
BTC ETF inflows have been cooling over the last few days, as the asset’s all-time high is slowing the market. Ethereum ETFs, on the other hand, are keeping a steady pace.
Even pauses in Ethereum growth haven’t meaningfully interrupted the trend, as corporate investment is continuing rapidly. Most corporate crypto holders are turning to Bitcoin, which may have significant downsides.
ETH, therefore, is a popular but less crowded alternative choice, as Wall Street investment isn’t fully moving the market.
Plus, Ethereum maximalism in its own right is on the rise. This topic struck particularly close to home for BlackRock today, when its Head of Digital Assets left the firm to join an ETH treasury company.
This executive helped spearhead BlackRock’s crypto ETF strategies, but he felt that SharpLink could better allow him to focus on Ethereum.
With institutional investments into Ethereum picking up the pace, Bitcoin’s dominance has dipped more than 5% in July.
