Ether ETF inflows serve as powerful market signals, revealing institutional sentiment and driving both short-term price volatility and long-term adoption. Ether’s real-world utility and the rise of spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have driven $3.87 billion in inflows in August 2025, while Bitcoin ETFs saw $751 million in outflows. Ether (ETH) has always been more than just another cryptocurrency. As the backbone of decentralized finance, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and smart contracts, it offers real-world utility beyond what Bitcoin (BTC) provides. In 2025, Ether is taking another major step into mainstream finance. Read more

Which treasury strategy is gaining ground in 2025: Bitcoin as digital gold or Ether as a yield engine? In recent years, companies and countries have increasingly included cryptocurrencies in their treasury strategies. Traditionally, corporate treasuries relied on cash, gold or government bonds to maintain value, ensure liquidity and provide financial stability. Governments had gold reserves to back their currencies. However, cash loses purchasing power. Bonds carry rate and duration risk. Foreign exchange shocks hit balance sheets without warning. Ideally, you want a reserve that holds value, moves fast across borders and plugs into digital rails. That is why Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and, in some cases, stablecoins now sit beside cash, gold and T-bills. Read more

Despite signs of cooling demand, crypto inflows in 2025 are outpacing last year’s, indicating that “sentiment is intact,” according to CoinShares. Publicly traded crypto investment products saw a decline in flows in early September, with weekly trading volumes sliding by 27%, according to CoinShares data. Lower trading volume pushed crypto funds to post $352 million in outflows over the past week, despite a positive outlook for riskier assets following a weak US jobs report and a potential cut interest rates in the US. According to CoinShares analysis, the slower activity was pushed by Ether (ETH) products and suggests mainstream investors’ falling demand for cryptocurrencies. “Trading volumes fell 27% week on week, this in combination with minor outflows suggests the appetite for digital asset has cooled a little.” Read more

Analysts highlight $4,300 as a pivotal support, but the history of September weakness raises the risk of a 10% drawdown. Read more

Crypto markets are seeing a “natural rotation” into Ether and altcoins with more potential upside, Nansen’s research analyst told Cointelegraph. Bitcoin whales, or large tokenholders, are selling more of the world’s first cryptocurrency to gain exposure to Ether’s price.

Nine “massive” whale addresses bought a cumulative $456 million worth of Ether (ETH) from Bitgo and Galaxy Digital, blockchain data platform Arkham said in a Tuesday X post. The growing whale demand for the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency signals the market’s “natural rotation” into Ether and other altcoins with more upside potential, according to Nicolai Sondergaard, research analyst at crypto intelligence platform Nansen.
