Ethereum is taking the spotlight in the crypto market again, this time by outpacing Bitcoin in ETF inflows. Recent data shows that U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs are attracting more investor attention than Bitcoin ETFs — a major shift that could signal growing confidence in ETH and its ecosystem.
According to data from Sosovalue, Ethereum ETFs brought in $285.84 million in net inflows during the week of May 30, 2025 — the highest amount in the past two months. In contrast, Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $157.40 million during the same period.
The trend hasn’t stopped. In the current week alone, Ethereum ETFs have already added $244.58 million, staying ahead of Bitcoin ETFs, which recorded $197.44 million in inflows so far. Notably, ETH ETFs have seen positive net inflows for three weeks straight — a streak not seen since December 2024.
Why Is Ethereum Gaining Ground?
There are a few key reasons for Ethereum’s growing popularity:
- Smart contract utility: Ethereum powers a wide range of DeFi applications, NFTs, and blockchain platforms, giving it strong use cases beyond just being a digital asset.
- Corporate interest: More companies are starting to explore Ethereum for treasury management and Web3 development.
- Altcoin season hints: Analysts suggest the current shift in investment could mark the beginning of an altcoin season, where other major cryptocurrencies outperform Bitcoin.
What’s Next for ETH?
Ethereum’s price has climbed roughly 45% over the past month. Currently, ETH is trading near $2,608, slightly down over the last 7 days. But with strong ETF inflows and bullish momentum, many believe it’s only a matter of time before Ethereum breaks the $3,000 barrier — possibly heading toward new all-time highs in the coming weeks.
