This is not a small one-off transfer either. In fact, theres been repeated $ETH movements linked to Fidelity FETH ETF inflows, with large transfers coming through familiar market and custody routes like Coinbase and Wintermute.

Institutional appetite is perhaps returning, but will it be strong enough to continue？
$ETH inflows return after May
This fits into the greater tide. Total net inflows for Ethereum ETFs were at $41.52 million at press time, after several red weeks through May. While it doesn‘t negate the earlier outflows, it’s definitely proof of recovery.

The other important detail is scale. Total net assets were still at $9.13 billion, even with $ETH at about $1,657. Put simply, the ETF market around Ethereum still holds some weight, despite the latest weakness.
$ETH price still needs better recovery
$ETH was trading at around $1,651 at press time, after a big fall in early June. The small rebound is a good sign, but short-term cautiousness still seemed very much afoot.

In fact, $ETH appeared to be in a weak zone (as indicated by RSI), even after the bounce. The DMI numbers also showed that sellers have more control than buyers… for now.
While there may be encouraging ETF numbers, the price action really needs to follow. With follow through, the latest interest could start to matter more on the charts.
Final Summary
- Fidelitys Ethereum ETF clients bought $28.6M worth of $ETH this week.
- $ETH inflows are improving, but $ETHs price still needs a greater push.
