Ethereum has flipped the script. For the first time this year, Ethereum-related funds outpaced Bitcoin in weekly inflows, drawing a whopping $793 million. Investors seized the opportunity after ETH’s price dipped near $2,100, seeing it as the perfect time to buy.
CoinShares reported that “Ethereum stole the show” as speculators rushed in. The surge came after a tweet from Eric Trump, son of President Donald Trump, declaring, “In my opinion, it’s a great time to add ETH.” The post garnered over 13.6 million views, adding fuel to Ethereum’s momentum.
ETH is now trading around $2,670, still 45% below its all-time high of $4,878 set in November 2021. Despite the launch of new U.S. ETH ETFs last July, Ethereum has struggled to reclaim its previous highs. But this latest wave of investor interest could mark a turning point.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin-related funds pulled in $407 million last week—just over half of Ethereum’s haul. The decline followed President Trump’s tariff threats, which rattled markets, including crypto. However, Bitcoin rebounded after Trump paused tariffs against Mexico and Canada, briefly pushing BTC above $100,000.
Altcoins also grabbed attention. XRP and Solana attracted $21 million and $11 million, respectively, as investors diversified their portfolios.
Ethereum’s resurgence raises big questions. Is this the start of a new trend where ETH dominates? Or just a temporary spike driven by market sentiment and social media buzz?
One thing is clear: Ethereum isn’t just following Bitcoin’s lead anymore. It’s carving its own path—and investors are paying attention.
