Ethereum-based ETFs outpace Bitcoin with a daily volume of $240 million.
Breaking Away from Bitcoin: Ethereum ETFs Shatter Records
On an unprecedented day in the cryptosphere, June 11, 2025 witnessed Ethereum ETFs seizing the spotlight as they raked in a staggering $240 million in net daily inflows. This figure dwarfed the $164 million flowing into Bitcoin ETFs, marking the first instance since the launch of U.S. spot crypto ETFs 18 months ago where Ethereum products led the daily inflows.
Ethereum's Epic Breakthrough
This dramatic shift, applauded by analysts and echoed across social media, could mark a potential turning point in institutional crypto adoption. It's fueled by unique catalysts that have steered capital towards the second-largest digital asset.
CryptoMe, a well-known figure in the crypto community, made this observation in a post, emphasizing the historic nature of the inflows. Data compiled by SoSoValue illuminates a consistent trend that's been building over recent weeks. Ethereum ETFs have recorded 18 consecutive days of net inflows, culminating in a near-record $240.29 million haul on June 11. The crypto-linked investment products now possess $3.74 billion in cumulative net inflows, $830.98 million in daily trading volume, and $11.05 billion in net assets, accounting for approximately 3.25% of Ethereum's market cap.
The frontrunner, BlackRock's ETHA, contributed over $163 million on June 11 alone, taking the lead among all Ethereum ETFs with $5.13 billion in cumulative inflows.
While Bitcoin ETFs maintain a dominant position in absolute terms, they seem to be slowing down. Despite a $45 billion cumulative inflow and almost $132 billion in assets under management, net inflows have softened over the past week. On June 10, the ETFs brought in an impressive $431.12 million, but flows declined to $164.57 million on June 11. Even BlackRock's flagship IBIT, which recently broke records by becoming the fastest ETF in history to surpass $70 billion in AUM, is now experiencing moderated daily volumes, dwindling to $1.89 billion on the previous day.
The Spark Igniting the Flame
Market observers attribute Ethereum's sudden surge in the spot ETF space to a combination of factors. These include optimism in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector following recent remarks by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Paul Atkins, directing the agency to explore rule amendments to accommodate on-chain financial systems.
Other key drivers include a perception of ETH as an undervalued asset and institutional spillover from Bitcoin ETFs. Regulatory clarity, particularly regarding Ethereum's classification, appears to be allaying institutional hesitancy.
Moreover, ETH's stronger recent price performance, up 5.4% over the past week versus BTC's 2.9%, and 12% over the last month compared to Bitcoin's 4.9%, reinforces the undervalued narrative, especially as Bitcoin is merely 3.8% below its recent all-time high, while Ethereum still lags behind, sitting 43.5% below its peak.
