U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs drew $729.1 million in net inflows on Wednesday, marking the second-largest single-day inflow since their launch.
BlackRock’s ETHA was the top recipient with $500.9 million, while Fidelity’s FETH took in $154.7 million, according to SoSoValue data.
Four other spot Ethereum ETFs also posted positive inflows that day.
The latest inflow follows record flows of $1.02 billion on Monday and $523.9 million on Tuesday.
Over the past three days, Ethereum products have attracted more than $2 billion — nearly seven times the $330.9 million added to Bitcoin ETFs during the same period.
Wednesday’s ETH ETF inflows alone outpaced Bitcoin funds by more than eightfold, with BTC products taking in only $86.7 million that day.

Data from Farside Investors.
Ethereum’s rally pushed the price up about 2% over the past 24 hours to $4,775 early Thursday, placing it roughly 4% below its November 2021 all-time high near $4,900, according to CoinGecko.
The token has surged more than 60% over the past month, triggering $127.4 million in short liquidations in the last 24 hours, CoinGlass reports.
Analyst raises target to $7,500
Citing rising institutional demand, favorable regulation and forthcoming network upgrades, Standard Chartered analyst Geoff Kendrick raised his year-end ETH target to $7,500 from $4,000 and boosted his end-2028 target to $25,000 from $7,500.
Kendrick expects Ethereum to continue to outperform Bitcoin, forecasting the ETH/BTC ratio to climb to 0.05 from the current 0.039.
He noted that ether treasury holdings and spot ETFs have acquired 3.8% of all ETH in circulation since early June — a pace twice as fast as the quickest comparable accumulation seen for Bitcoin.
Ethereum has also benefited from the U.S. GENIUS Act passed in July, which supports broader stablecoin adoption.
More than half of all stablecoins are issued on Ethereum, accounting for roughly 40% of the blockchain’s fee revenue, Kendrick said.
On the technical side, Ethereum developers are working to increase Layer 1 throughput by 10x, a change expected to support higher-value transactions and accelerate growth in Layer 2 ecosystems.
