Ethereum (ETH) has returned to the spotlight as the institutional influx into the US accelerates with spot Ethereum ETF. On September 11, 2025, BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF attracted $74.5 million a day, while Fidelity’s US Ethereum ETF attracted an additional $49.5 million, according to data from Farsise Investors.
In total, US Spot Ethereum ETFs have seen more than $171 million in net inflows this week, reflecting robust demand from institutional investors.
The surge in flows underscores an increased confidence in Ethereum’s long-term value, despite regulators continuing to be cautious about staking provisions. Analysts suggest that these influxes could serve as catalysts for rising ETH prices, reinforcing Ethereum’s role as the backbone of distributed finance (DEFI), NFTS, and AI-powered blockchain applications.

Ethereum Eyes $4,500 breakout
Currently, Ethereum is trading at nearly $4,400, up 1.9% over the last 24 hours, with a market capitalization of $529 billion. Despite the momentum of inflows, ETH remains trapped in a tight trading range. Analysts highlight two important levels:
- $4,500 Resistance: Breakouts above this level will trigger new purchase rights and allow doors to be opened for sustained uptrends.
- Support at $4,250: Below this threshold can lead to increased sales pressure.
Technical indicators remain mixed. The relative strength index (RSI) is close to neutral at 52, suggesting that MACD may reduce the bearish momentum, potentially recovering buyer activity soon.
Bitmine and market correlation strengthens cases
In addition to the bullish narrative, blockchain company Bitmine expanded its Ethereum Treasury this week, earning 46,255 ETH, worth $2 million from Bitgo. This latest move has brought Bitmine’s total holdings to more than 2.1 million ETHs, reaching over $9.2 billion, solidifying its position as the largest public ETH holder.
Beyond Crypto, Ethereum’s price movement continues to show strong correlations with technology-rich indexes like Nasdaq. Analysts believe that in conjunction with the institutional influx combined with the Treasury Ministry of Finance, a company that bets big on ETH, can strengthen supply and set the stage for breakouts.
For traders, the focus is now on whether Ethereum can decisively clear $4,500. This is a move that could spark one of the strongest rallies of 2025. Until then, ETH prices could remain in consolidation as the Bulls and Bears fight for control.
