Why ether ETF inflows have come roaring back from the dead
- Ether ETFs have experienced increased inflows after a period of weak demand, with positive trends for six consecutive weeks.
- Recent institutional interest in Ethereum is attributed to regulatory developments, stablecoin momentum, Circle's IPO, and new Ethereum Foundation leadership.
- Institutions are recalibrating their positions ahead of utility unlocks like staking access and options listings.
- Ether ETFs have not garnered as much attention as bitcoin ETFs, accumulating $3.9 billion in net inflows since listing compared to bitcoin's $36 billion in its first year.
- Wall Street acceptance of crypto for payments is driving interest in ETH ETFs, with the CME basis on ether offering arbitrage opportunities.
- Despite increased inflows, the price of ether has been negative for the month and flat over the past month, down 25% for the year.
- Ether faces challenges such as an identity crisis, weaker revenue post-upgrade, and competition from Solana.
- Standard Chartered reduced its ether price target, but remains optimistic about a potential turnaround.
- Inflows into ether ETFs have slowed but remained positive post a significant spike, indicating long-term conviction over hype.
