Recently, there was a broader institutional pivot towards Ethereum, with approval from the Spot ETH ETF earlier this year. Over all listed Ethereum ETFs, net inflows have skyrocketed by 650,468 ETH over the past seven days, with total ETF stock currently surpassing the 5.22 million ETH, representing $193.1 billion.

Major investment funds are insufficient for Ethereum

Meanwhile, BlackRock expanded its Ethereum status and purchased 27,158.86 ETH, valued at almost $100 million via iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA). The fund currently owns 2.59 million ETHs, making it the single largest institutional owner of Ethereum among the ETFs.

In addition to the wave of activities, Ark Invest has revealed a strategic acquisition of Bitmine Immersion (BMNR) stock worth $182 million. The move is designed to support the company’s growing Ethereum financial strategy as ARK seeks to diversify blockchain exposure through both its owned and infrastructure assets directly.

Other major funds, such as Grayscale, Bitwise and Vanek, also recorded large weekly inflows. In particular, Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust saw a seven-day net inflow of 60,529 ETH, while Bitise added 12,758 ETH.

These influxes are consistent with the growing role of Ethereum as a facility-grade asset, strengthened by improved regulatory clarity and liquidity through ETF access. As capital continues to support cryptocurrency, Ethereum appears to have solidified its position along with Bitcoin as a major investment vehicle.
