Ethereum ETH ETF Inflows Hit $1B as Whale Accumulates $1.3B ETH
ETH ETF inflows soared to a record $1.01 billion in a single day, pushing total inflows to $10.85 billion. BlackRock’s ETHA led with $639.8 million.
These ETH ETF inflows and massive whale buying reflect rising institutional demand. An anonymous whale created 10 new wallets to amass 312,052 ETH, worth $1.34 billion, from FalconX, Galaxy Digital and BitGo.
Nasdaq-listed BitMine also expanded its treasury with 316,000 ETH, bringing its holdings to $4.96 billion.
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes purchased 1,750 ETH for $7.43 million.
These combined inflows and whale accumulation supported Ethereum above $4,300 despite short-term volatility. ETH remains 12% below its all-time high of $4,891, signaling strong demand and potential for further upside.
Bullish
The record ETH ETF inflows combined with significant whale accumulation signal strong institutional and high-net-worth demand for Ethereum. Historically, similar ETF inflows—such as Bitcoin ETF launches—correlated with bullish price momentum and increased trading volumes. The whale’s concentrated purchase of 312,052 ETH and further accumulation by BitMine and Arthur Hayes suggest sustained buy pressure. In the short term, this demand may stabilize Ethereum price above key support levels around $4,200 and fuel a test of resistance near the previous high of $4,891. Over the long term, ongoing ETF adoption and large-scale accumulation underpin a bullish outlook, as institutional participation enhances market liquidity and reduces supply available for trading.
