Ethereum ETFs added $110.5 million, their best daily performance since February. Grayscale, Fidelity, and Bitwise accounted for all inflows, while BlackRock’s ETHA remained flat. The ETH ETF sector has now seen five straight days of net gains. According to analysts, the spike is likely a mix of renewed institutional confidence, a favorable risk environment, and potential liquidations of government-held crypto reserves. Galaxy’s Michael Harvey noted that “corporate buying appears to be leading the charge.”
