For the second day the ETF of Ethereum surpassed those of Bitcoin in the US.
Nasdaq proposes Staking for ETH ethf, which would raise its performance above 5%.
Since the launch of Cryptocurrencies ETF in cash in the United States, the times Ethereum (ETH) has overcome Bitcoin in terms of daily net entries. And it is already becoming recurring.
According to Sosovalue data, on Thursday, July 17, the Ether Al Caé Al Caéda USD 602 million, exceeding the USD 522.6 million registered by the Bitcoin ETFs.
A similar situation occurred, yesterday, Friday, July 18, when ETF tickets of Ethereum registered about 402 million dollars, while those of Bitcoin rose to the USD 363 million.
The milestone marks a symbolic change in the behavior of institutional capital, which until now had concentrated mostly in Bitcoin since the approval of these financial products in January 2024.
In total, the ETF of Ethereum They have raisedas a total accumulated net entrance, more than seven billion dollars since its launch.
The protagonist of the day was the Ishares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) of Blackrock, which absorbed about USD 394 million in a single day. This flow not only represents his second best consecutive brand, but also allowed him to overcome Bitcoin’s star background of the same manager, Ibit, in the daily entrance table. In the last five sessions, Etha has accumulated USD 2,181 million.
The volume of capital is not the only factor behind the growing interest in Ether. The open interest chart in ETH futures in the CME bag shows an ascending trajectory both in volume and in nominal value in dollars, rivaling with the activity recorded by Bitcoin’s futures in early 2025.
In addition, the possibility that ETF of ETHER incorporate Staking functions has aroused new expectations among institutional investors.
In that sense, Nasdaq recently submitted an application so that the ETHA fund can offer native staking, as reported by cryptootics.
If approved, this proposal would allow ETF holders to receive rewards directly from the Ethereum network, which would raise product performance to more than 5%, combining passive income with capital appreciation potential.
However, Bitcoin maintains its advantage on scale: their ETF to cash They have received more than USD 54,000 million in net tickets. Although the demand for the Bitcoin ETFs remains solid – with entries in 26 of the last 27 sessions according to ETF Store – analysts observe a growing impulse by Ethereum.
Some attribute this phenomenon to specific catalysts, such as the highest yields in Staking, the possible approval of funds enabled for this function, and a favorable political context thanks to the genius and clarity legislative projects, which seek to establish the status of commodity (raw material) for Ether and other cryptoactives.
