Spot Ether ETFs 15-day inflow streak accumulates $837.5M inflows

US-based spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have just recorded a third consecutive trading week of inflows. If next week follows suit, the current inflow streak alone may surpass $1 billion in total inflows.

The current inflow streak since May 16 has now brought in $837.5 million, roughly 25% of the total $3.32 billion in net inflows since spot Ether ETFs launched in July 2024.

Cointelegraph recently reported that a multi-year gold fractal is making a strong case for an Ether price rally toward $6,000 in the coming months.

Did mayday call the ethereum bottom?!?!?!

Everyone is still bullish ETH….. the opposite of capitulation.

This is what I mean by ETH bleeding out. It has round tripped 9yrs and most are talking about what a great opportunity it is 🤔


Today marks 1yr from 74k top and blood moon. Equinox on the 20th. If BTC can tag 69k I reckon that’s enough to capitulate ETH to lows and then we might be done. Depends how hard the wealthy prayed to Satan.

Nah I just like to test the resolve at lows.

I called 113k well in advance though and we tagged 112k. I’ve called the next stop 126k well early aswell.

When gib asked for year end numbers I said 180k but the triggers haven’t occurred just yet.

Lol. Stop it, like ETH hasn't had artificial support to survive. Eth maxis don't get to take the moral high ground here.

Stop being a chain maxi and become a profit maxi. You should have max bid BTC as soon as Blackrock officially got involved (it's still not too late and at some point after alt season just rotate eth into BTC)

You then sell before the current model of BTC looks to be in trouble (still several years, maybe even a decade away)

You then wait for Blackrock to do their dirty deeds, the inevitable BTC price crash and then you buy the generational bottom of Blackrock's Bitcoin.

You have the necessary technical knowledge to front run all this. Just don't get caught up in Maximalism

Where is the evidence that Ethereum has received artificial support? ETH’s security is currently backed by over 34.69 million staked ETH, despite the asset still trading well below its 2021 all-time high. Staked ETH is at an ATH. That’s not artificial support—that’s market participants voluntarily committing capital to secure the network and earn yield. Staking isn’t a subsidy; it’s a sustainable, incentive-aligned model.

By contrast, Bitcoin’s security depends on perpetual block subsidies, which are guaranteed to halve every four years. As those rewards approach zero, miner revenue will be entirely dependent on transaction fees. No one knows if that model can support the current level of network security. That’s a structural question, not a price one.

And let’s be honest—miners are pivoting into AI compute. That’s not a sign of strength. It’s a signal that Bitcoin mining is becoming economically untenable unless prices continue to rise exponentially, which is a risky assumption to make.

I’m not interested in being a ‘chain maxi’—I care about long-term sustainability and sound design. If Bitcoin can eventually secure itself without subsidies, great. But right now, we’re betting on a model that’s never been tested without massive rewards. Ethereum already made that transition.

You did call 180k. I think gib called 150k or 175k?  And I called 125k. 


Keep stacking satoshis!

You said ETH round tripped 9 years. ETH is up 6x more than BTC since its launch in 2015.

5 years ago, BTC's market cap was around $171 billion. The price was around $9,300 and the supply around 18.4 million BTC.

ETH is more than 6 years younger than BTC and it's market cap right now is around 2x what BTC's market cap was 5 years ago.

Blockchain tech is still young. We don't know what happens 10-20 years from now. ETH could flip BTC's market cap or ETH could be flipped. Anything is possible, and nothing is assured.

Here’s a really interesting video featuring Joe Lubin. He talks about how the SEC under Gensler actively tried to slow down Ethereum, even going as far as suing ConsenSys to undermine it. Meanwhile, Bitcoin never faced the same kind of regulatory pressure. Now that this chapter is behind him, Lubin says he plans to be much more vocal—similar to how Saylor has championed Bitcoin.

Lubin also said both Bitcoin and Ethereum need to increase in value significantly. He mentioned a potential $3 million price tag for BTC. When asked about his ETH prediction, he didn’t give a specific number but said it would be “much higher” than today’s levels. Ryan threw out $250,000 as a target.

Personally, I think ETH will eventually be worth somewhere in the six- to seven-digit range.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many other crypto assets will likely continue to be undervalued when measured against the dollar—especially when you consider their long-term price potential. The U.S. dollar has been losing purchasing power steadily since 1913, and there’s no real sign that this trend will reverse. Why would it?

ETH is currently trading around $2,800. When it returns to $4,000, we’ll look back and recognize that $2,800 was clearly undervalued. And when it eventually hits $10,000, even $4,000 will seem like a bargain in hindsight.

10,000?!?!?   I heard ETH to $50,000

[obsidian]

10,000?!?!?   I heard ETH to $50,000

$100,000 eventually, and higher. But first we have to get to $5k and $10k.

There's a lot of resistance at $4k. I expect some investors will sell off at that mark. Time will tell how easily ETH goes to a new ATH and higher.

[Mayday]

You said ETH round tripped 9 years. ETH is up 6x more than BTC since its launch in 2015.

Did I read the ETHBTC chart wrong

Did I read the ETHBTC chart wrong

That chart goes back to 2017. 2025 - 9 = 2016.

Ethereum launched in 2015, and is up around 2100x since launch. BTC is up around 350x since the time ETH launched. ETH thus outperformed BTC by 6x in that time period.

Also note that ETH's current market cap is 2x BTC's 2020 market cap 5 years ago. But ETH is 6 years younger than BTC. BTC had a head start. What will ETH's market cap be in 2030?

On Shopify. Amazon, eBay, Apple etc. will probably be next.

Stablecoins will be the future of online payments.

Very good move by Etherealize. Organized and clear.

$15k and then $80k ETH incoming.

[obsidian]

Ethereum doesn’t need just one Etherealize or one SBET company — it needs a wave of them. This is a marathon, not a sprint. To unlock its full potential, we have to stay focused and resist complacency.

The sudden activity is possibly due to this, according to Joseph Lubin:

''Before Chair Gensler made it unadvisable for me/us to be publicly vocal about what we cared about, because his SEC was conducting an inquisition on the Ethereum (mostly) and decentralized ecosystem, I/we were very vocal.  Now that we are not under attack by the US gov, I/we can speak more freely.''

People had criticised the Ethereum Foundation, Consenys etc. for not doing anything to promote Ethereum and to counter attacks from certain groups.

The captured SEC did a lot of damage to ETH over the past few years, which is now having to be undone, which is why we're seeing so much activity and finally a lobbying group in Wall Street and the US.
