Analysis shows that financial flows into Ethereum ETFs continue to grow, and forecasts suggest they may soon surpass Bitcoin ETFs in held assets.
Growth of Ethereum ETFs
As of August 18, 2025, Ethereum ETFs have reached 6.52 million ETH, representing over 5% of the total circulating supply of Ethereum. This value has risen from 3.5 million ETH in February. In comparison to Bitcoin ETFs, which currently hold 6.38% of Bitcoin's total supply, their growth rates vary significantly.
Interest from Institutional Investors
Data from CryptoQuant shows that large investors own 19.2 million ETH, marking the highest concentration ever seen. Since the beginning of 2023, interest from institutional players in Ethereum has been steadily increasing amid the cryptocurrency's price recovery. Institutional purchases have intensified since Ethereum emerged from prolonged market downturns.
Comparison with Bitcoin ETFs
Analysis suggests that if Ethereum ETFs continue to grow at this pace, they could surpass Bitcoin in asset volume by the fourth quarter of 2025. While Bitcoin ETFs are experiencing slower growth, Ethereum is showing significant progress, raising interest in the crypto investment community.
At the current rate of growth in Ethereum ETFs and the increasing interest from institutional clients, this cryptocurrency may soon take a leading position in the ETF market, comparable to Bitcoin.
