Ether ETFs Soar with $727M Inflows as Trump-Backed Legislation Fuels Crypto Market Rally
July 18, 2025
Ether ETFs are experiencing unprecedented inflows and trading volumes, driven by legislative changes supported by President Trump that are advancing in the U.S.
On July 17, 2025, investors poured $727 million into nine Ether ETFs, and trading volume surged to $2.6 billion amid a rally in Ether's price.
Ether's price hit $3,469 early on July 18, 2025, its highest since January, while Bitcoin remained steady above $118,000 despite a slight dip.
The surge in Ether ETF activity is mirrored by increased open interest in Ether futures on the CME Group, indicating growing institutional interest in the cryptocurrency.
This optimistic outlook in the crypto market has been further fueled by the November election results, with expectations that a second Trump presidency could lead to more favorable regulations for cryptocurrencies.
During 'Crypto Week,' Republican conservatives lifted a blockade on crypto legislation, enabling House votes on measures backed by Trump, which has contributed to the bullish market sentiment.
