Ether ETFs Record $2.18B Weekly Inflows as ETH Tops $3,600
Ether (ETH) surged over 20% this past week, briefly crossing the $3,600 mark before settling at $3,560, driven by renewed investor interest and a wave of institutional inflows into ETH-linked financial products.
U.S.-listed spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $2.18 billion in net inflows — their highest weekly total since launching. July 16 stood out, with a single-day inflow of $726.74 million, according to SoSoValue data, reflecting surging market appetite.
Meanwhile, open interest in Ether futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) hit a new record, signaling deepening institutional exposure to Ethereum.
The rally follows President Donald Trump’s signing of the GENIUS Act into law. The bill establishes tighter regulations for yield-bearing stablecoins — a move analysts believe may direct more treasury activity toward native ETH staking and transparent restaking mechanisms.
Though ETH has slightly pulled back from its weekly highs, the strong ETF inflows and increasing futures activity suggest that bullish momentum remains intact heading into the next trading week.
