Growing Interest from Institutional Investors
According to Farside Investors, BlackRock's ETHA attracted nearly $500 million, while Fidelity's FETH garnered $113 million. This has led to a surge in total ETH holdings across spot ETFs, surpassing 5 million coins, which accounts for over 4% of Ethereum's circulating supply.
Corporate Investments in Ethereum
Recent data indicates that corporate balance sheets now hold over $5.3 billion in Ether, with $1.6 billion added in just the past month. SharpLink Gaming alone acquired $343 million worth of ETH in just eight days.
