According to @MilkRoadDaily, ETH ETFs have recorded higher net inflows than BTC ETFs for the fourth consecutive day (source: @MilkRoadDaily). According to @MilkRoadDaily, this divergence comes despite BTC’s market capitalization being roughly 4.3 times larger, indicating comparatively stronger near-term demand for ETH ETF exposure (source: @MilkRoadDaily). According to @MilkRoadDaily, the sustained inflow advantage is a trading-relevant signal for ETH/BTC relative momentum and rotation monitoring (source: @MilkRoadDaily).

According to Milk Road (@MilkRoadDaily), more than 1,300 ETFs have launched since 2024, with crypto dominating the new issuance landscape (source: Milk Road on X). According to Milk Road (@MilkRoadDaily), the top 4 newly launched ETFs are crypto-related and 10 of the top 20 are crypto-related (source: Milk Road on X). According to Milk Road (@MilkRoadDaily), among these leaders, 5 are tied to BTC, 3 to ETH, and 2 to MSTR (source: Milk Road on X). According to Milk Road (@MilkRoadDaily), this composition shows institutional buyers are accumulating Bitcoin and some Ethereum through ETF products (source: Milk Road on X).

According to @KobeissiLetter, spot Ether ETFs recorded a single-day record of $1 billion in net inflows on Monday, highlighting strong demand for ETH exposure (source: The Kobeissi Letter on X). The same update adds that Bitcoin ETFs saw $178 million in net inflows that day, citing ZeroHedge as the underlying data source (source: The Kobeissi Letter on X, citing ZeroHedge). Based on those figures, ETH ETF net inflows were approximately 5.6 times BTC ETF net inflows for the session, underscoring a relative flow tilt toward ETH over BTC that day (source: The Kobeissi Letter on X). Since May, these funds have accumulated more than $8 billion in net inflows, indicating sustained capital allocation into crypto ETFs over the period reported (source: The Kobeissi Letter on X).

According to the source, ETH ETFs posted their largest single-day inflow to date yesterday, signaling a surge in institutional demand for ETH exposure (source: X post dated Aug 12, 2025). The source characterizes this as institutions materially increasing allocations rather than marginal buying, highlighting a step-up in participation intensity (source: X post dated Aug 12, 2025). If these inflows are concentrated in spot or physically backed ETH ETFs, net creations typically require acquiring the underlying ETH, which can translate inflow spikes into buy-side pressure during creation windows (source: U.S. SEC Investor Bulletin: Exchange-Traded Funds, creation/redemption process). Traders can monitor continuation in daily ETF flow prints as a short-term sentiment gauge for ETH momentum and liquidity conditions (source: X post dated Aug 12, 2025; U.S. SEC Investor Bulletin on ETFs).

According to Lookonchain, across 10 Bitcoin ETFs, aggregate net flow on Aug 12 was +1,586 BTC, equivalent to +$189.72M (source: Lookonchain, Aug 12, 2025). iShares (BlackRock) reported inflows of 1,158 BTC worth +$138.58M and currently holds 743,609 BTC valued at $88.97B (source: Lookonchain, Aug 12, 2025).

According to Mike Silagadze, the ETH treasury company that most effectively integrates with DeFi will drive the fastest increase in ETH per share. He notes that ETH capital is expected to move out of passive ETFs and underperforming digital asset trusts into vehicles consistently yielding over 10 percent, highlighting a shift toward high-yield DeFi products. This trend may impact ETH price dynamics and trading volumes as investor funds flow toward more active, yield-generating strategies (source: Mike Silagadze).

According to @MilkRoadDaily, Bitcoin (BTC) reached a new all-time high of $123,000, marking a significant milestone for cryptocurrency traders. Simultaneously, Ethereum (ETH) Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) set new volume records, reflecting heightened institutional and retail interest in ETH-related investment products. These developments underscore increasing market momentum and liquidity for both BTC and ETH, providing traders with strong signals of bullish sentiment and potential volatility ahead (source: @MilkRoadDaily).

According to Charmaine Tam, Head of OTC at Hex Trust, Ethereum's recent outperformance against Bitcoin, with ETH dominance rising to nearly 10% while BTC dominance fell 2-3 percentage points, acts as a leading indicator for capital flows into altcoins like Pendle and Bittensor. On-chain data shows strong inflows to emerging sectors such as DeFi and AI, supported by institutional demand, including over $1.25 billion into spot ETH ETFs since mid-May. Amid geopolitical tensions from an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, BTC and ETH prices declined sharply, but ETH remains up nearly 40% over the last three months, according to CoinMarketCap data.

According to Charmaine Tam, Head of OTC at Hex Trust, Ethereum's (ETH) recent outperformance, with a 40% gain over three months per market data, serves as a leading indicator for capital flows into altcoins like Pendle and Bittensor. ETH dominance rose to nearly 10% while BTC dominance fell, signaling trader interest in emerging sectors such as DeFi and decentralized AI, supported by on-chain inflows and institutional demand with spot ETH ETFs attracting over $1.25 billion since mid-May. Concurrently, geopolitical tensions from an Israeli attack on Iran caused BTC to drop 4.7% to around $103,000 and ETH to $2,694, as per market movements. Singapore's Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) now mandates licenses for offshore crypto firms by June 30, prompting exchanges like Bitget and Bybit to shut down, a move linked to past oversight issues with Three Arrows Capital and Terraform Labs, according to regulatory updates. Additionally, Quranium launched QSafe Wallet, a quantum-secure solution for BTC, SOL, and EVM chains, to address future cryptographic threats.

According to Crypto Rover, Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are significantly outperforming Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs, as shown in recent comparative performance data shared on June 15, 2025 (source: Crypto Rover Twitter). This trend highlights increased institutional and retail investor interest in ETH over BTC, signaling a potential shift in market momentum. For traders, this outperformance suggests strong bullish sentiment for ETH-related products and may prompt a reassessment of portfolio allocations towards Ethereum ETFs. Monitoring the continued divergence in ETF flows and price action could provide actionable trading opportunities as ETH asserts leadership in the crypto ETF market.

According to Crypto Rover, BlackRock recently stated that Ethereum ETFs are underperforming primarily because they do not include staking options. BlackRock suggests that the approval of staking by the SEC could potentially lead to significant price increases for Ethereum. This information is crucial for traders as it indicates a potential future catalyst for ETH price movements.

According to Cas Abbé, investment giant Fidelity has filed to add staking for ETH ETFs, a feature that distinguishes ETH ETFs from BTC ETFs. While an immediate massive price surge is not expected, this development is anticipated to serve as a catalyst for the next upward market movement.

According to Cas Abbé, significant Ethereum accumulation has been observed as a whale purchased over 100K ETH on Binance in the past 48 hours, with two other whales acquiring an additional 180K ETH on Binance and Bitfinex. Furthermore, a filing to incorporate a staking feature into ETH ETFs was made recently, indicating a potential institutional interest in Ethereum staking products.
