United States Spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) hit a new milestone in July, recording $5.43 billion in net inflows, their highest monthly total since launch, according to ETF tracker SoSoValue.
July’s performance represented a 369% increase over June’s total net inflow of $1.16 billion, showing a significant surge in investor interest. It also eclipsed previous months like May’s $564 million, April’s $66.25 million and overturned March’s outflow record of $403 million.
The latest figures brought total cumulative net inflows for Ether (ETH) ETFs to $9.64 billion, a 129% increase over June’s total. Total net assets across all spot Ether ETFs rose to $21.52 billion, up 108% from $10.32 billion a month earlier.
The new record placed spot ETH ETF performances near their Bitcoin (BTC) counterparts, which recorded a monthly net inflow of $6.02 billion, a 30% increase compared to spot Bitcoin ETFs’ record of $4.6 billion in June.
Spot Ether ETFs extend inflow streak to 20 days
Trading activity also intensified in July along with the surge in inflows. SoSoValue data showed that monthly trading volumes in July soared to $33.87 billion, up 236% from June’s $10.08 billion, indicating heightened market participation and liquidity.
Spot Ether ETFs also recorded 20 consecutive days of net inflows through the end of the month, with the last outflow occurring on July 2.
BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) still dominated the charts with a total of $9.74 billion in cumulative net inflows. The fund now has net assets of $11.37 billion.
The surge in spot ETF inflows coincided with the recent ETH July rally. During the month, the crypto asset rallied to a high of $3,933, according to CoinGecko. This marked a nearly 60% increase over its June 30 price of $2,469.

Ethereum surge causes NFT revival
Apart from ETFs, the Ether surge also influenced the non-fungible token (NFT) sector. In July, NFTs recorded a monthly sales volume of $574 million, the sector’s second-highest month in 2025.
CryptoSlam data showed that the record marked a 47.6% increase over June’s $388 million but still trailed January’s sales record of $678 million.
In addition, the ETH surge also increased the value of NFT collections on Ethereum. In July, the top 10 digital collectibles by market capitalization were Ethereum-based collections.
