Recent ETF inflows paint a clear picture of growing institutional appetite for Ethereum exposure. On Tuesday alone, $13.5 million flowed into Ethereum ETFs. Grayscale’s mini-Ether ETF led with $7.4 million, while VanEck’s ETHV and Franklin’s EZET followed closely with $3.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively.
In a sign of deepening institutional conviction, asset management giant BlackRock filed an amendment for its spot Ethereum ETF, proposing an in-kind creation and redemption model.
If approved, this will allow institutions to directly swap ETH for ETF shares, a move that could supercharge liquidity and capital inflow into Ethereum markets.
Perhaps the strongest institutional signal came from Abraxas Capital, which borrowed USDT and scooped up 242,652 ETH (worth $561 million) over the past week.
The Fibonacci extension levels drawn from the bottom at $1,752 to the local top signal further upside toward 1.618 Fib Level: $2,295 (now broken); 2.618 Fib Level: $2,631, acting as immediate resistance; 3.618 Level: $2,967; and 4.236 Level: $3,174, within reach if bullish momentum continues.

Meanwhile, the RSI is at 76, flashing overbought territory, which could lead to a short-term cooldown. However, historically, Ethereum has rallied further in such scenarios when institutional demand is this strong.
Crypto analyst “Galaxy” noted that Ethereum has been consolidating for years following its massive 48x rally in 2020, hinting that a breakout could be on the horizon.
Let me share an idea:$ETH has been consolidating for the last 4 years after a 48x increase from the bottom of 2020.
A well-deserved consolidation, we can agree.
