What to know: U.S.-listed spot ether ETFs attracted over $220 million in the past four days of active trading. Analysts suggest ETH could retest its all-time high due to this momentum, supported by capital rotation from bitcoin into ETH. Ethereum has recorded a surge in on-chain activity and open interest in ether futures has risen.
A streak of inflows into U.S.-listed spot ether ( ETH ) exchange-traded funds (ETFs), rising activity on the Ethereum blockchain and increased institutional trading interest could help the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap surpass its three-year-old price record in the coming months.
“ETH spot ETFs continue to record strong net inflows, totaling $90.1 million yesterday and marking a 4-day winning streak,” QCP Capital said in a note referring to Wednesday trading. “Despite this week’s retracement, these healthy inflows highlight the market’s growing optimism. ETH was the main outperformer Wednesday as it rallied 11.65% to a high of 3,688. This is aligned with our thesis of capital rotation from BTC to ETH.”
The ether ETFs attracted over $220 million in the Nov. 22-27 period, data shows, the second-longest streak of inflows since they went live in July. That has helped bring cumulative flows to a positive $240 million.
“Given that ETH has lagged behind BTC and SOL in the current rally, its recent strength supports the case for it to retest its all-time high of 4,868 (+35.4%),” QCP said.
Fundamental factors and money flows are further boosting ether’s growth prospects.
A CoinDesk analysis earlier this week noted that cumulative open interest in perpetual and standard futures contracts has surged to a record 6.32 million ETH, worth over $27 billion.
Activity in the ether options market listed on Deribit is also picking up, with over 2 million contracts active or open at press time, the most since late June.
