Ethereum (ETH) Price Prediction: Ethereum ETF Inflows Hit $1B Record as BlackRock’s 150,000 ETH Buy Sparks All-Time High Hopes

The world’s second-largest cryptocurrency has surged to its highest level in over two years, outpacing Bitcoin in recent institutional inflows. Monday’s historic buying spree by major asset managers marks a pivotal moment for Ethereum’s market outlook, signaling that deep-pocketed investors are positioning ahead of a potential breakout.

Ethereum price today is hovering around $4,300, consolidating after a sharp rally that has pushed it to its highest level in over two years. The surge follows record-breaking inflows into spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with institutional giants like BlackRock leading the charge.

On Monday, spot Ether ETFs recorded $1.02 billion in net inflows, the largest single-day inflow since their mid-2024 launch. According to Farside Investors, these inflows significantly outpaced Bitcoin ETF activity, signaling a shift in institutional focus toward Ethereum.

BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) attracted $640 million in a single day, acquiring over 150,000 ETH. Fidelity’s Ethereum Fund (FETH) followed closely, securing $277 million in inflows, equivalent to more than 65,000 ETH. Even smaller products, like Grayscale’s mini Ethereum trust, saw $66 million in inflows.

“Spot ETH ETFs were severely underestimated simply because traditional finance investors didn’t understand Ethereum,” said Nate Geraci, president of ETF Store. “Now they’re hearing ‘backbone of future financial markets’ and it’s resonating.”

The buying spree has pushed total spot Ethereum ETF inflows to $10.8 billion, with the bulk of this capital arriving in the past month.

On the weekly chart, Ethereum has broken above a long-standing resistance between $4,000 and $4,100, a move that traders see as a gateway to price discovery. Analyst @Zynweb3 described the setup as “picture-perfect”, noting that such breakouts often lead to new highs.

In the 4-hour timeframe, ETH trades within a rising wedge pattern. Resistance is near $4,352, while support sits at $4,232. The EMA stack is fully bullish, with the EMA20 at $4,194 and the EMA200 far below at $3,584, reflecting strong trend momentum.

A decisive close above $4,352 could open the path toward $4,460 and the previous liquidity high near $4,800. Conversely, a breakdown below $4,232 risks a pullback toward $4,112 or even $4,012, where the EMA50 aligns with prior consolidation.

Bullish sentiment is underpinned by on-chain data showing Ethereum’s exchange-held supply at a nine-year low of 15.28 million ETH, per Glassnode. This trend suggests investors are moving coins off exchanges for long-term storage.

Ethereum’s staking ecosystem also hit a new milestone, with over $150 billion worth of ETH staked. According to Token Terminal, Ethereum remains the dominant chain for tokenized assets, controlling about 58% of the market.

Crypto commentator Anthony Sassano noted that on Monday alone, ETFs bought over 50% of all ETH issued since the Merge in September 2022. “In a single day, the ETH ETFs bought over 50% of the net issued ETH since The Merge,” Sassano wrote on X.

Ethereum is now just 15% away from its November 2021 all-time high, a gap some traders believe could close quickly if institutional inflows persist. Market analyst Henry (@LordOfAlts) suggested that ETH could be “the stealth trade of the year”, with the potential to lead the next leg of the bull market if Bitcoin stabilizes.

However, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin urged caution, warning that corporations accumulating ETH for their treasuries could create an “overleveraged game” if market conditions reverse.

For now, the confluence of record ETF inflows, tightening supply, and robust technical momentum has many analysts eyeing a run not just to $4,800 but toward a potential new all-time high.
