Ethereum Hits $2,700 as ETF Inflows Continue for 15th Day Amid Rising Institutional Demand

Ethereum (ETH) surged past $2,700 on June 10, 2025, posting a 7% intraday gain. This marks a significant rebound from its recent low of $2,460, driven by robust network activity and institutional interest.

Analysts note Ethereum’s bullish momentum, with technical indicators like MACD and EMA signaling potential gains toward $2,750–$2,800, though RSI suggests caution due to overbought conditions.

In contrast, Bitcoin’s recent climb over $110,000, driven by ETF inflows and macroeconomic shifts, highlights a broader crypto market recovery. Ethereum’s outperformance reflects its unique appeal as a platform for DeFi and Web3, as Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani notes: “Ethereum’s blockchain is useful technology that deserves love”.

Institutional Adoption and ETF Inflows

Ethereum investment products have experienced strong momentum, with $296.4 million in net inflows recorded during the second consecutive week, contributing to a seven-week streak that has totaled $1.5 billion. These inflows now account for 10.5% of the assets under management across global Ethereum-based funds. This marks the most robust period of inflows since the U.S. Election last November, reflecting a notable recovery in investor sentiment.

U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs, particularly BlackRock’s ETHA and Fidelity’s FETH, drove $281.3 million of these inflows, marking 15 consecutive days of positive inflows totaling $837.5 million since May 16.

On June 3, Ethereum ETFs continued their streak of positive inflows, recording $109.5 million in net inflows.

This extended the trend to 12 consecutive trading days, with total inflows reaching $743.9 million during this period.

The sustained inflows highlight the growing interest in Ethereum-based products, as institutional investors increasingly allocate funds to these assets. According to data, the total net assets of Ethereum ETFs have now reached significant levels, further solidifying Ethereum’s position in the market.

Meanwhile, James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, noted that Ethereum products continue to attract inflows, reflecting increasing institutional confidence despite broader market caution influenced by uncertainty surrounding Federal Reserve policies. This sentiment underscores Ethereum’s resilience and appeal in a challenging market environment.

Technological Drivers and Market Outlook

The Pectra upgrade, implemented in late 2024, has significantly enhanced Ethereum’s scalability and reduced transaction costs, driving a surge in smart wallet activity and reinforcing its dominance in DeFi and smart contract applications.

This technological leap has not only improved efficiency but also attracted a growing number of developers and institutional investors, further solidifying Ethereum’s ecosystem.

Additionally, the Ethereum Foundation’s revised fiscal policy — focused on reducing annual expenditures while increasing investments in DeFi — signals long-term confidence in the network's potential.

However, macroeconomic uncertainties, including U.S. Federal Reserve policy shifts and tariff-related risks, continue to pose challenges for the broader crypto market. While Ethereum remains resilient, its reliance on ETF inflows and institutional support could expose it to potential volatility under tightening regulatory or economic conditions.
