Ethereum price approaches $2,400 as ETFs hit six-day inflows streak

Ethereum price climbed to an intraday high of $2,375 on Friday as Ethereum ETFs continued to draw steady institutional interest.

According to data from crypto.news, Ethereum ($ETH) price was trading at $2,375 last check on Friday, April 17. The largest altcoin in the market was up 1% over the past 24 hours and up over 7% in the past 7 days.

Ethereum price rallied as institutional investors continue to show steady demand for the token.

According to data from SoSoValue, the 10 U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $18 million in net inflows on April 16, led by BlackRock’s ETHA.

Notably, these institutional products experienced back-to-back inflows for the sixth straight trading day, drawing in nearly $300 million in the period.

Although the flows have been moderate in nature when compared to the beginning of the year, when these products drew in over $100 million a day, they suggest that institutional investors are starting to accumulate the asset with renewed confidence.

With reports suggesting that the U.S. and Iran could end their ongoing conflict soon, Ethereum ETFs could see a boon in investor sentiment as capital flows back into riskier assets.

Meanwhile, Ethereum treasury firm Bimine has also been aggressively building its holdings with its most recent purchase completed on Monday, April 13. At the moment, the firm holds roughly 4% of the total circulating supply, which brings it very close to its goal of owning at least 5%.

Chairman Tom Lee, in the meantime, has noted that Ethereum is very close to exiting its long crypto winter after it formed a solid bottom recently.

This has fueled bullish expectations across the broader market as whales continue to lock up supply for the long term.

Bitcoin Derivatives Flash the First Warning Sign of a Quantum Selloff, Says Joshua Lim


Actors and figures: Joshua Lim (FalconX) estimates that 1.7 million $BTC, valued at $127 billion, are exposed to quantum attacks.

Dates and signals: The April 16 analysis highlights that derivatives and long-term options will show red flags before on-chain activity.

Market scenarios: An institutional hard fork could trigger massive liquidations and unprecedented price volatility.

The arrival of quantum computing is the greatest technical and political challenge in the cryptocurrency market. Joshua Lim, co-head of markets at FalconX, stated that quantum risk in Bitcoin will initially manifest in the derivatives markets.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading around $75,024, as the sector analyzes how to protect Satoshi Nakamoto’s 1.1 million $BTC. The volume of options and the bias of long-term “puts” already reflect a demand for protection against extreme systemic events.

Typically, forks like the one in 2017 occurred in a retail market of $45 billion. However, with a current market cap of $1.5 trillion, such an event under the quantum risk in Bitcoin would have much more drastic consequences.

Lim argues that the problem is not just mathematical; it is deeply sociopolitical. The community must decide whether to burn old coins through governance or allow a state actor with quantum power to attempt to claim those inactive assets.

Morgan Stanley’s newly launched Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), MSBT, has rapidly hauled in more than $100 million, leveraging the lowest fees in the market to outpace the WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund (WBTC) in net inflows, despite being live for less than a week.Morgan Stanley’s MSBT has outpaced a key rival in just its first week on the market, highlighting robust early investor appetite for the bank’s newest foray into digital assets.Within only six trading days of launch, the fund soared past $103 million in total net inflows—overtaking the WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund’s $86 million cumulative haul, Farside Investors data shows.MSBT debuted on April 8 with a market-leading fee of 0.14%, narrowly undercutting the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (BTC) by just 1 basis point. It entered a crowded sector of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs, alongside major players like BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which leads the market with $64 billion in net inflows, and the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, which has drawn $10.9 billion since launching in January 2024.MSBT’s competition also includes Bitcoin funds from Bitwise, ARK 21Shares, and Grayscale. The ETF benefits from an immediate distribution edge via Morgan Stanley’s expansive wealth management platform, which manages trillions in client assets.If its momentum continues, Morgan Stanley’s fund could soon close in on—and potentially usurp —Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCO), Valkyrie Bitcoin ETF (BRRR), and Franklin Bitcoin ETF (EZBC), which have recorded net inflows of $246 million, $327 million, and $374 million, respectively.Morgan Stanley’s crypto ETF push has already drawn reactions from rival institutions. Earlier this week, ZyCrypto reported that Goldman Sachs had filed to launch a Bitcoin Premium Income ETF—one of its first direct steps into crypto investment products.
