Why did Ethereum ETFs explode in September 2025?
Ethereum’s ETF approval happened in May 2025, but the boom came in July.
The reasons are not simple – there is also a combination of multi-layered factors:
1. Institutional FOMO
Big firms like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale aggressively pushed Ethereum ETFs.
This is the biggest signal of institutional trust for retail investors.
2. Lower Fees & High Liquidity
New ETFs have a 0.20% fee structure, which is less than BTC ETFs.
Result: Massive retail inflow.
3. DeFi Growth
The Ethereum ecosystem crossed $85B TVL (Total Value Locked) by July – staking demand made ETH more attractive.
