ETH ETFs Hit $13.7B Inflows as Corporate Treasuries Surge
Ether spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have experienced significant growth since their US launch in July 2024, with inflows increasing 44% from $9.5 billion to $13.7 billion in August. Institutional demand is driving this momentum, as companies adopt Ether-based corporate treasuries, now holding 4.4 million ETH, valued at $19.18 billion. Regulatory developments, such as the Genius Act, are encouraging traditional investors to engage with Ethereum. Ether's price rose nearly 27% in August, reaching $4,316. Analysts highlight that Ethereum's roadmap is at a critical juncture, with upcoming upgrades aimed at enhancing smart contract efficiency and validator usability. Recent upgrades have expanded validator capacities and introduced account abstraction, while the Fusaka hard fork is set for November 5. Despite this growth, Ethereum's revenue generation remains low compared to competitors, with $41.9 million in fees over the past month, significantly less than Tron's $433.9 million.
