BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF Breaks Records

BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) has reached a significant milestone by accumulating $10 billion in assets in just 251 days. This makes ETHA one of the fastest-growing Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) in financial history.

Since July 1, 2025, BlackRock has acquired more than 1 million Ethereum (ETH), with total holdings reaching 2.8 million ETH valued at approximately $10.2 billion as of July 24.

This feat puts ETHA ahead of some other leading funds, such as JPMorgan’s Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPQ), which took 444 days to reach a similar milestone. The speed of these fund flows indicates a change in investor sentiment and institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies.

High Demand for Ethereum-Based ETFs

ETFs based on Ethereum (ETH) have experienced high demand, with inflows reaching $4.4 billion in the past 14 days. In contrast, ETFs based on Bitcoin (BTC) experienced outflows, ending a period of inflows over the previous 12 days. This signals a strategic shift by institutions towards Ethereum (ETH), which is increasingly being recognized for its usefulness as more than just a digital currency.

The migration to a proof-of-stake system by Ethereum 2.0 and its increasing application in DeFi and NFTs makes Ethereum (ETH) a key asset in institutional crypto portfolios.

Although volatility remains a concern, the continued investment by BlackRock shows the institution’s growing confidence in Ethereum’s (ETH) position in the digital asset space.

BlackRock pushes for rate cut

Rick Rieder, CIO of BlackRock, has called for a rate cut ahead of the upcoming FOMC meeting.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Rieder stated that cutting interest rates will lower house prices and reduce the inflation rate. This is important as the housing market is currently heavily affected by high interest rate policies.

Despite the strong performance of US economic data, Rieder thinks there is still room for a rate cut. Political and economic pressure continues to mount on Fed Chair Jerome Powell to announce a rate cut.

However, CME’s FedWatch tool shows a small chance of a rate cut in the July FOMC meeting, with only a 4.1% chance of a cut.

Conclusion

With the evolving dynamics in the financial and crypto markets, BlackRock’s move into managing an Ethereum-based fund and the push for lower interest rate policies show adaptation and response to current market conditions. These two initiatives not only affect the financial markets but also provide insight into how large institutions are navigating changes in the global economy.
