According to data, the US Ethereum Spot ETF has just seen its biggest influx date, driven primarily by BlackRock and fidelity demand.
Demand for Ethereum SpotETF is rising sharply
July 16 was a big day for the US Ethereum Spot ETF, according to data from Farside Investors. Spot Exchange Trading Funds (ETFs) refer to investment instruments that allow investors to be exposed to assets without directly owning them. In the case of cryptocurrency, this means that ETF holders do not need to manage their digital asset wallets or navigate exchanges. For traditional investors, this fact can make Spot ETFs a convenient way to explore the market.
The Ethereum Spot ETF received approval in the US almost a year ago. Demand has been varied since then, but recent assets have fallen into a positive trend inflows, with the latest figures only increasing momentum.

As visible as it is, the US Ethereum Spot ETFs have already had a notable daily influx of over $200 million over the past week, indicating strong demand from institutional organizations, but on the latest record-breaking day things are clearly pushing into even higher gear.
BlackRock’s ETHA saw its biggest inflow on July 16th at almost $500 million. Fidelity’s Feth was the distant second, buying around $133 million in cryptocurrency on behalf of its users. Capital saw a breakout of over $3,000, earning $3,400 for the first time since January.
Following the rally, institutional investors are not only paying attention to ETH as data from analytics firm Santiment shows a surge in retail profits.

In the chart, Santiment attaches data on social domination. This is an indicator that tells us about the discussion share Ethereum occupies on major social media platforms compared to other cryptocurrencies.
This metric reflects small hand behavior as retail investors far outperform larger holders in terms of numbers. From the graph, it is clear that ETH’s social domination saw a huge surge along with price surges, with 13.4% of all digital assets debates on social media that coins are currently involved.
Obviously, retailers are now paying attention to assets, but this trend can be kept an eye on as historically exaggeration among crowds tends to not end well with cryptocurrencies.
