Ether ETFs Attract $71 Million, Indicating Institutional Confidence

[mendez]

US-listed Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) drew $71 million in fresh capital between Monday and Tuesday, breaking a three-day streak of outflows and signaling renewed institutional interest. Assets under management have stabilized at $13 billion, with daily trading volumes averaging over $1.65 billion—enough liquidity to attract the world’s largest hedge funds. While Ether (ETH) struggled to sustain levels above $2,000, these inflows suggest that market participants are positioning for a potential recovery.

Alongside ETF inflows, Ether derivatives metrics are showing early signs of stabilization. The annualized premium (basis rate) of ETH 2-month futures sits at 3%, below the 5% neutral threshold but steady after months of weakness. Combined with growing decentralized application (DApp) usage and improving on-chain metrics, institutional confidence appears to be returning, hinting at a possible bounce back toward the $2,400 level.
