Ethereum is currently trading for $2,575.09, after losing 1.89% on Tuesday. Last week, almost $600 million poured into the cryptocurrency, which is the biggest inflow in a week since earlier this year. The increasing demand came after spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were approved in the U.S. in July 2024. The funds have given direct institutional exposure to ETH, increasing short-term capital inflows and strategic allocation in the long term.

Year to date, Ethereum investment products have experienced $2 billion inflows, or 14% of the overall $14.9 billion assets under management in the crypto space. While Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is still leading with $11.45 billion YTD inflows, Ethereum is closing in with staking returns and increasing usage in diversified portfolios.

Ethereum whale wallets have accumulated 818,000 ETH, nearly $2.5 billion, in one day. It is the biggest one-day accumulation since 2018. Historically, the mass accumulation by early investors usually leads to significant price action.

Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (NASDAQ:DJT) has filed initial registration to introduce a new ETF under Truth Social that will invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The decision is a part of Trump Media’s move into digital assets, which includes a Bitcoin-only ETF and plans for a financial services platform under the Truth.Fi brand.
The ETF's approval is uncertain, as it needs to clear a few regulatory hurdles, such as effective registration and the Security and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approval of a mandatory Form 19b-4. The decision brings mainstream political stakeholders and institutions closer to digital assets.
The SEC has postponed its decision on whether Franklin Resource Inc (NYSE:BEN) Ethereum ETF can participate in staking.
Franklin Templeton's ETF would receive passive income in the form of staking rewards, similar to what retail ETH holders can do. The delay came as the SEC is deliberating whether the staking feature meets investor protection requirements of the Securities Exchange Act. The SEC will accept public comments for 21 days and rebuttals for 35 days.
