Ethereum inflows hit $2.87B as crypto fund AUM tops $244B
CoinShares reports $3.75 billion in net inflows last week, pushing digital asset fund AUM to $244 billion. Institutional investors allocated $2.87 billion—77% of total flows—into Ethereum, boosting YTD inflows to $11.1 billion and raising ETH’s AUM share to 30%, overtaking Bitcoin’s 11.6% share after $552 million of BTC inflows. Ethereum inflows and strong ETF demand helped drive Ether to $4,776, its highest since 2021, while Bitcoin briefly hit a new all-time high of $124,128. Solana saw $176.5 million inflows, XRP $126 million, with minor movements in SUI, ADA, LINK and small outflows in LTC and TON. Over 16 corporations now hold 2.45 million ETH in treasuries, cutting liquid supply. Futures open interest nears $38 billion, signalling potential volatility. Traders should monitor Ethereum inflows, treasury accumulation and futures open interest as key indicators of momentum and risk.
Bullish
The strong surge in institutional inflows into Ethereum, which now surpass Bitcoin in fund flow share, underscores robust bullish momentum. Record Ethereum inflows and ETF demand drove ETH price to multi-year highs, while corporate treasury accumulation of 2.45 million ETH tightens liquid supply and supports long-term upside. Although high futures open interest near $38 billion may lead to short-term volatility, sustained institutional demand and on-chain accumulation signal a favourable environment for further price appreciation. Traders should leverage these positive indicators while managing risk around potential price swings.
