The move comes as <strong>ETH<\/strong> climbed roughly <strong>11%<\/strong> over seven days to trade near <strong>$1,920<\/strong>, outperforming the rest of the large-cap crypto market by a wide margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>BlackRock<\/strong>&#8216;s ETHA fund accounted for the overwhelming majority of the buying, absorbing <strong>$45.3 million<\/strong> of the <strong>$53.8 million<\/strong> in total ETF inflows recorded on Wednesday alone \u2014 more than 84% of the day&#8217;s total. The remaining eight ether ETF products split less than $5 million between them, while Grayscale&#8217;s higher-fee ether trust, which charges 2.5% against BlackRock&#8217;s 0.25%, continued to bleed assets and has now lost <strong>$5.3 billion<\/strong> since launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part of the demand traces to a new structural source: Robinhood Chain, a layer-2 network the brokerage launched on July 1, pays gas fees in ether and has been processing more than <strong>$800 million<\/strong> in daily decentralized exchange activity, most of it memecoin trading. Every transaction on the chain requires ETH, tying the network&#8217;s growing usage directly to token demand. Bitcoin, by contrast, is up about 4% over the same stretch, with U.S. spot BTC ETFs showing choppier flows \u2014 a <strong>$424 million<\/strong> outflow on July 13 followed by a <strong>$181 million<\/strong> inflow the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technically, the rally has pushed ETH&#8217;s daily RSI above 65, a level that Ted Pillows, a technical analyst, <em>has noted historically preceded near-term price peaks<\/em> \u2014 a signal traders are watching closely even as the broader flow picture remains constructive. With Ethereum&#8217;s spot ETFs having broken an eight-week outflow streak just last week, the acceleration in BlackRock-led buying suggests institutional allocators are treating the current move as more than a short-lived bounce, though a single week of inflows is not yet a confirmed trend reversal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. spot Ether ETFs took in $96 million in net inflows across just the first three trading days<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":487,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eft"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=486"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":488,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486\/revisions\/488"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
