TLDR
- Ethereum ETFs received $1.83 billion in five days versus $171 million for Bitcoin ETFs
- ETH outperformed Bitcoin with 5% recovery compared to BTC’s 2.8% gain from Tuesday lows
- Goldman Sachs holds $712 million in Ether ETF exposure, leading institutional adoption

- Total Ether ETF inflows approach $10 billion since July following stablecoin legislation
Ethereum exchange-traded funds have captured Wall Street’s attention with massive inflows that dwarf Bitcoin’s performance. The stark difference shows institutions are betting heavily on Ether’s future prospects.
Spot Ether ETFs pulled in $1.83 billion over five trading days ending Wednesday. Bitcoin ETFs managed only $171 million in the same period, creating a 10-to-1 advantage for Ethereum products.
Wednesday alone saw $310.3 million flow into nine Ether ETFs. The 11 Bitcoin ETFs received $81.1 million in comparison.
The price action reflects this institutional preference. ETH recovered 5% from Tuesday’s low while Bitcoin gained just 2.8% during the same timeframe.
Ether ETFs have been trading for 13 months and accumulated $13.6 billion total. Bitcoin ETFs have gathered $54 billion over their 20-month history but recent momentum favors Ethereum.
Institutional Money Drives Adoption
Investment advisers control $1.3 billion in Ether ETF exposure according to SEC filings. Goldman Sachs leads with $712 million in holdings.
This institutional backing provides strong support for continued inflows. VanEck CEO Jan van Eck called Ethereum “the Wall Street token” during a Fox Business appearance.
The GENIUS Act stablecoin legislation passed in July has boosted confidence. Ethereum dominates both stablecoin transactions and tokenized real-world assets markets.
NovaDius Wealth Management president Nate Geraci noted spot Ether ETFs are approaching $10 billion in inflows since July alone.
Ethereum Price Prediction
The ETH/BTC trading pair shows technical strength at 0.04126 BTC. Market analysts see room for further gains after defending key support levels.
The pair bounced from critical support between 0.02000-0.02500 BTC. This zone has historically launched major rallies for Ethereum.
Next resistance levels target 0.050 BTC and 0.065 BTC. A break above 0.050 BTC could trigger sustained upward movement.
Weekly charts display strong green candles indicating renewed buyer confidence. The bullish setup remains valid as long as ETH holds above 0.030 BTC.
Ethereum’s fundamentals continue improving with DeFi growth and layer-2 adoption. Staking rewards provide steady returns for long-term investors.
The network’s utility in stablecoins and real-world asset tokenization supports institutional interest. This infrastructure advantage helps explain the recent ETF inflow disparity.
ETH traded at $4,560 at recent checks, down 1.2% on the day according to market data.
