Fidelity’s FETH secured $27.5 million of market interest to register a second consecutive inflow day. However, between Jan. 20 and now, Fidelity has recorded an outflow of $68.5 million.

Ethereum’s price struggles to reclaim $3,000
The Ethereum ecosystem has received attention recently, and stakeholders are anticipating new developments. Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum cofounder, has given the community some assurances as to the upcoming Petra hard fork, which will be able to double the capacity of layer-2 networks.
Alex DovbnyaAnalysts believe this information might have fueled renewed interest from institutional investors. Some believe ETH is in consolidation and could break out anytime soon. Hence, these players are betting on the coin now at the current price.
As of writing time, the ETH price was changing hands at $2,773.90, a 1.82% increase as the coin rebounds from its previous crash. ETH has battled to reclaim the $3,000 mark in the last seven days but has not succeeded.
