BlackRock iShares Ethereum Trust Sets New High with $16.5 Billion in Assets Under Management

BlackRock’s ETHA keeps breaking records, with assets under management rising to $16.5 billion.

Ethereum ETF Inflows Surpass Bitcoin ETF

With the latest purchase, BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF now holds 3.775 million ETH, more than 2 million of which were accumulated in the past two months. Investor demand is driving ETHA’s price higher, closing up 4% on Tuesday at $34.82 (UTC+8). Over the past six months, the fund’s price has more than doubled, highlighting rapidly rising institutional demand for Ethereum.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs are still attracting capital, but at a noticeably slower pace. On the same day, six US-listed Bitcoin funds saw a combined inflow of $88.2 million, far less than the Ethereum ETF’s scale. In fact, on Monday, Ethereum ETF inflows were already more than double those of Bitcoin, sparking market discussions about institutions possibly “rotating” from BTC to ETH.

BlackRock is buying the dip 🐋🤑

Just now, BlackRock increased its holdings by $92.6 million in ETH and $46 million in BTC.

The market may see a strong rally this week.

Bears should be careful.

Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH Rebounds 4%, Breaks Through $4,600

Ethereum’s price action is once again drawing traders’ attention. After dropping to $4,300 last week, ETH has rebounded over 7%, breaking through $4,600 (UTC+8). Analyst Daan Crypto Trades pointed out that ETH is consolidating within the current range while maintaining diagonal support. Key levels to watch are the 2021 all-time high of $4,900 and the local support at $4,000–$4,100.

Before a clear breakout, price action may remain volatile. However, with institutional buying continuing to ramp up, market sentiment is increasingly bullish. Bitmine Technologies disclosed that it purchased nearly 200,000 ETH in the past week. Record ETF inflows combined with large corporate treasury purchases make Ethereum’s outlook in the coming weeks appear highly bullish.
