U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs have outpaced Bitcoin inflows for five consecutive days, driven by aggressive corporate accumulation and diminishing exchange supply. Over the past five days, Ethereum ETFs added approximately $3.4 billion, while Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows of only $966 million. The notable inflows were led by BlackRock's ETHA and Fidelity's FETH, with a record influx of $1 billion reported on August 11 alone. Analysts point to three key factors enhancing Ethereum’s appeal compared to Bitcoin: its support for smart contracts, staking features, and diverse earning opportunities within its ecosystem. Additionally, the demand from corporate treasuries and institutional investors is contributing to a supply squeeze, as exchange balances dwindle. Despite this optimism, experts also highlight potential risks such as historical September corrections and possible retail profit-taking. Nevertheless, some anticipate Ethereum could reach $10,000 this cycle, fueled by institutional demand and ongoing market dynamics.
