In the past week, Spot Ethereum ETFs saw $2.4B in inflows, outpacing Bitcoin ETFs’ $827M. The surge led to ETH having an overall more successful week than BTC, outpacing the king cryptocurrency in value growth by nearly 4%. The token is now moving towards a new high of $ 4,000, but is also encountering resistance along the way. That being said, the investor appetite surrounding the token has now become massive, with Ether ETFs recording a consistent streak of rapid inflows.

Per the Kobeissi Letter Ethereum ETF update, spot Ether ETFs recorded a net inflow of 533.9 million on Tuesday alone. This marks their largest single-day inflows on record. As a result of its recent surge, several analysts and even investing representatives in the crypto industry are projecting ETH to potentially beat out Bitcoin in the remainder of 2025. In an interview with CNBC, Galaxy CEO Mike Novogratz praised ETH as a promising investment. When asked about whether he owns Bitcoin or Ethereum, Novogratz stated that he owns both and that Ethereum is destined to touch the $4K price ceiling. Moreover, Novogratz was quick to add that he believes that ETH has the power to go mainstream soon.

“I own both. Listen, Ether has caught up a lot. It feels like if ETH takes out 4,000, it goes into price discovery. And so we feel destined to at least knock on the 4,000 ceiling a few times. The narrative of Ether is really powerful. And the market was really short.”

Ethereum (ETH) to $5,000? Here’s the Timeline

Several analysts are projecting the Ethereum Ether cryptocurrency to reach a new ATH of $5,000. However, the timelines for this ETH surge remain mixed. As per Changelly’s Ethereum August Forecast, the token is eyeing a new price spot of $4274 by the end of next month. If Ethereum ETFs or the token’s massive popularity continues to draw in volume, then ETH may surge even further than this.

Looking longer-term, per CoinCodex, ETH may surge to sit at $6184 by October 2025. That would mark an over 60% surge from current prices. That outcome isn’t fully out of the question, as the asset is up nearly 50% in the last 30 days alone. “Per our technical indicators, the current sentiment is bullish, while the Fear & Greed Index is showing 71 (Greed),” CoinCodex analysts say. “Ethereum recorded 21/30 (70%) green days with 16.30% price volatility over the last 30 days. Based on the Ethereum forecast, it’s now a good time to buy Ethereum.”
