Inflows into Ethereum ETFs have surged 5x recently, indicating renewed institutional interest in the second-largest cryptocurrency.
On June 11, a record 77,000 ETH was added to spot ETFs in a day, showcasing a spike in demand possibly driven by optimism around ETH's technical advancements and growing utility in staking and DeFi.
The total of 154K ETH added weekly reflects a positive sentiment as Ethereum's price nears the $3,000 level.
In contrast, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw 7,800 BTC in total inflows this week, showing stable but subdued bullish pressure compared to previous highs in May.
BTC ETFs have shown volatility in institutional confidence with mixed signals of inflows followed by outflows, particularly around the beginning of June.
The divergence in ETF flows between ETH and BTC could stem from rotational capital shifts, speculation on ETH ETF launches or upgrades, and Ethereum's broader utility recognition over Bitcoin's store-of-value narrative.
Ethereum's strengthening ETF inflow momentum contrasts with Bitcoin's, potentially influencing mid-term price action and allocation strategies in the digital asset space.
