On July 20, BlackRock's institutional clients invested $38.15 million in Ethereum through spot ETFs, mainly via the iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) which received $34.3 million. This preference for ETFs over direct token purchases reflects institutional investors' need for compliance, custody, and operational ease. The inflow signals strong coordinated institutional demand, with ETHA continuing to dominate Ethereum ETF inflows, similar to BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF pattern. This trend highlights ETFs as a preferred vehicle for large investors seeking regulated crypto exposure.
