In the crypto sphere, hope is a much more stable currency than some altcoins. Between optimistic analyses and market dynamics, the Ethereum ETF is generating particular excitement.

Ethereum ETFs Assaulting Financial Heights

For seven consecutive weeks, Ethereum ETFs, having recently faced a rush, are displaying record incoming flows, with an impressive peak of 2.2 billion dollars for the week of November 26 alone. A trend that experts believe is sustainable, especially with the prospect of staking-boosted yields.

Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, summarizes the situation well:

” The flows of Ethereum ETFs currently follow those of gold, but I expect an acceleration. “

A quick tour of the numbers to convince oneself:

7 weeks of continuous net incoming flows;
2.2 billion $ recorded in a single week;
A performance that has outperformed Bitcoin since November.

In parallel, bold predictions are emerging: VanEck anticipates a price of $6,000 for the Ethereum price in the fourth quarter of 2025, propelled by increased adoption and expanding network activity, particularly due to applications related to artificial intelligence.

Staking: Potential Lever for the ETH ETF

If staking is already a source of income for Ethereum holders, its integration into ETFs could be a game changer. Currently, the annualized yield of staking is around 3.35%, which could appeal to investors looking for passive gains.

But beware, the risk of “slashing” is never far away if the validator misbehaves.

According to Bernstein Research, this feature could be explored and adopted in the United States, adding a layer of complexity—but also potential—to these financial products. In short, the Ethereum ETF, boosted by staking, could offer a unique mix of yield and security, attracting institutions seeking diversification.

And to top it all off, the U.S. SEC recently gave its green light to ETFs combining Bitcoin and Ethereum, opening new pathways for a massive influx of capital. A prospect that suggests that the future of Ethereum ETFs could surpass that of other crypto products, even Bitcoin.

Moreover, Santiment’s report sheds intriguing light on Ethereum, showing a record concentration among whales. Institutions seem calm, despite a timid bull run, for the second most valued cryptocurrency in the world.
