According to on-chain analytics platform Glassnode, Ethereum ETFs experienced their first positive net inflow following eight straight weeks of outflows.
The inflow, while modest at around 40,000 ETH, indicates a potential shift in sentiment toward ETH exposure. Following months of continuous withdrawals from Ethereum funds, this reversal suggests that Ethereum might be seeing renewed institutional engagement as the broader crypto market recovers.
According to the most recent CoinShares data, the crypto market had $3.4 billion inflows last week, the third most on record as investors seek alternative safe havens, with Bitcoin leading the way with $3.18 billion, followed by Ethereum with $183 million.

Ethereum researcher proposes 100-fold "exponential" gas limit
Ethereum researcher Dankrad Feist has proposed a 100-fold "exponential" gas limit boost to improve mainnet scaling.
Arman ShirinyanA new EIP, 9698, by Feist proposes an exponential increase in the Ethereum gas limit, allowing it to grow 100x over four years through client-side defaults. This aims to create a predictable and sustainable gas limit trajectory, enhancing coordination and transparency in the gas limit adjustment process while maintaining backward compatibility with existing mechanisms.
Ethereum's next network upgrade, Pectra, will launch on the mainnet on May 7 at epoch 364032. Pectra introduces EIP-7702, various enhancements to the validator UX and the doubling of the blob count, among other things.
