Crypto ETFs see over $1.1 billion in net inflows as Ethereum sets single-day record. While US crypto ETFs posted one of its strongest sessions on record with combined net inflows across spot ETH and BTC funds surpassing $1.1 billion, Ethereum was the clear winner. Ether ETFs recorded more than $1 billion in a single trading day on 11 August 2025- an ATH for any US crypto ETF product!
Notably, the staggering crypto ETF net inflows was largely driven by BlackRock and Fidelity’s flagship funds. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) led decisively with about $640 million in net inflows, while Fidelity’s FETH followed with roughly $276-$277 million.
“Corporate treasuries are acquiring ETH at twice the rate of BTC,” said Geoff Kendrick of Standard Chartered.
