Ethereum breaks eight weeks of ETF outflows, eyes 2,000 dollars
Spot ethereum ETFs recorded 84 million dollars in inflows, breaking an eight-week outflow streak. ETH is outperforming bitcoin and holding steady around 1,900 dollars.
Ethereum is trading around 1,900 dollars (roughly €1,660) after reclaiming a key resistance level and liquidating more than 30 million dollars (roughly €26 million) in short positions in the process. The move was not explosive, but it extends a steady improvement that has quietly made ETH one of the strongest large caps of the week. The ETH/BTC ratio jumped more than 17% this week — ethereum is clearly outperforming bitcoin.
ETF flows finally turn
The most important shift is in the funds: spot ethereum ETFs recorded 84 million dollars (roughly €73 million) in net inflows in the week ending July 11, breaking a streak of eight consecutive weeks of outflows. BlackRock's ETHA contributed several of the strongest daily inflows. Fundstrat strategist Sean Farrell called ETH ‘one of the more attractive ways’ to play an improving crypto backdrop.
Network growing beneath the surface
There is progress beyond the ETF market too. Robinhood Chain, an Arbitrum-based Layer 2, is attracting activity through tokenized assets, AI applications, and NFT projects — all using ETH for transaction fees. On July 16, a 1.3 billion dollar (roughly €1.1 billion) fund tokenization pilot was also announced, using a yen stablecoin for instant settlement on Ethereum.
Toward 2,000 dollars (roughly €1,750)?
The next catalyst sits in Washington. A constructive outcome from the Clarity Act hearing could reinforce confidence just as ETF flows improve. In that scenario, analysts see a realistic path back to 2,000 dollars (roughly €1,750) in the weeks ahead.
