Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have surpassed Bitcoin ETFs in inflows for five consecutive days, with $3.4 billion added for Ethereum compared to $966 million for Bitcoin. August 15 marked a significant day with $640 million pushed into Ethereum funds, largely attributed to corporate treasuries accumulating ETH amid a dwindling exchange supply. BlackRock's ETHA and Fidelity's FETH led this surge. Analysts attribute this shift primarily to a surge in corporate interest in Ethereum, driven by its capabilities beyond those of Bitcoin, including smart contract functionality and staking options. The Ethereum ETF market now manages over $10 billion in assets, indicative of substantial institutional confidence. However, experts caution the potential for market corrections in September, urging vigilance as retail selling might occur despite the robust institutional demand. The general sentiment leans towards Ethereum hitting new price milestones, potentially reaching $10,000 if current trends continue, fueled by its utility and earning opportunities. At the time of reporting, Ethereum's price was $4,446, reflecting a 2% decrease for the day, yet marking a 13% increase over the past week.
