Key Insights:
- Ethereum spot ETFs saw $21.4M inflows, led by BlackRock’s $16.1M.
- Taker buy/sell ratio above 1 signals aggressive market buying pressure.

On June 16, U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded a total net inflow of $21.4 million, according to data published by Farside Investors. BlackRock led all issuers with a $16.1 million inflow into its ETHA fund. Fidelity followed with $5.3 million in net additions to its FETH product. The remaining Ethereum-based ETFs posted no changes in their holdings.
Ethereum ETF Inflows Reflect Institutional Interest
The $21.4 million total inflow into Ethereum ETFs on June 16 marked one of the strongest daily gains since the product class launched. The BlackRock ETHA product garnered the highest amount of capital, with an amassed net inflow of $16.1 million. Fidelity FETH followed with $5.3 million, and the rest remained unchanged.
This data highlights a concentration of institutional flows into two leading issuers. The inflows point to increased demand for Ethereum exposure via regulated channels. Although inflow volumes remain modest compared to Bitcoin ETFs, the pattern suggests investors are beginning to allocate more seriously to ETH as the market stabilizes.
Farside Investors, which compiled the data, noted the inflows align with broader market interest in Ethereum as it trades near the upper boundary of a multi-week price range.
Taker Buy/Sell Ratio Points to Buy-Side Pressure
Ethereum’s taker buy/sell ratio across all exchanges is now reading above 1. The most recent value of 1.04 indicates that market takers are placing more aggressive buy orders than sell orders. Historically, this ratio has acted as a useful gauge of real-time sentiment.
This metric was constantly below 1 in 2022-2024, which indicates the prevailing selling pressure. The movement above 1 in 2025 indicates that consumers have lost market control to buyers. The last time this ratio went positive over a long period was towards the start of 2021, when the price of ETH was experiencing a bullish rally.
Current buy-side dominance, supported by rising spot ETF flows, may increase confidence among traders. Chart data shows that sustained buy pressure often precedes bullish momentum, particularly when accompanied by increased trading activity.
Furthermore, a bullish trend for Ethereum, with the OI-weighted funding rate consistently above 0%, indicates strong buy-side dominance. This positive funding rate correlates with rising ETH prices, signaling sustained demand. This positive trend in June indicates that Ethereum might still be on a bullish trend to an even higher price level.
Ethereum Faces Crucial Resistance at $2,820
Ethereum price is currently trading inside a horizontal range, with the resistance area between 2,820 and the support area between 2,470 and 2,520. Technical analysts, including TedPillows, suggest the price is in a compression phase. This structure presents a neutral setup with a bias that depends on breakout direction.
If ETH manages to move past the resistance zone at around $2,820 on increased volume, the upside potentials are considered at least $3,800 and higher. Past sell-off attempts below the price area have been faced with buying interest at the price area of $2,500, signifying that buying demand is still present at that level.
A break below the $2,470 support would turn the focus on the next support at around the price of $2214. The existence of this range brings sanity to the traders since they are keenly observing a breakout confirmation.
Whale Accumulation Signals Confidence
Whale activity is another indicator upon which they put focus. The amount of ETH between 1,000 to 10,000 has experienced an addition of over 14.3 million ETH to the wallets. This is the highest figure in the area this year. On June 12 alone, net inflows into these wallets exceeded 871,000 ETH, the largest single-day gain of 2025.
This accumulation trend has steadily increased since the start of June. Historical on-chain analysis indicates that such buying pressure has not been seen since 2017, signaling strong investor confidence.
