BlackRock Buys $206M in ETH as ETF Inflows Soar Past $233M

 Key Insights:

• BlackRock added $206.7M to Ethereum ETF, representing nearly 89% of total daily inflows.
• Ethereum ETFs recorded $233.5M inflows on October 3, marking five straight days of net additions.
• Ethereum trades near $4,500 with next resistance at $4,750 and support around $4,100–$4,200.

Ethereum spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $233.5 million in net inflows on October 3, 2025. The data reflects growing institutional interest in Ethereum through regulated investment vehicles. Multiple issuers saw inflows, but one firm accounted for the bulk of the total.

This marks the fifth consecutive day of net inflows into Ethereum ETFs. The steady capital movement follows a broader recovery in the market, with Ethereum trading near short-term resistance levels.

BlackRock Leads with $206.7M Inflow

BlackRock was the largest contributor on the day, adding $206.7 million through its Ethereum ETF (ETHA). This made up nearly 89% of all Ethereum ETF inflows on October 3. A tweet from Ted stated, “BlackRock bought $206,700,000 in Ethereum,” which aligns with the reported numbers.

Other participants included Fidelity, which added $5.6 million, VanEck with $3.3 million, and Franklin Templeton, which posted $17.9 million via its EZET fund. Bitwise, 2Shares, Invesco, and Grayscale showed no inflows on that date.

The distribution indicates that most of the new capital came from a single institutional buyer, with others making smaller additions.

Ethereum Price Holds Near $4,500

Ethereum was trading at $4,497.11 at the time of reporting. The asset posted a 0.41% daily gain and a 12% rise over the last seven days. Price data shows ETH briefly touched $4,503.77 before moving sideways.

The chart points to $4,750 as the next key resistance level. If the price moves past this area, it could open a path toward previous highs. If there is a pullback, the $4,100–$4,200 zone is viewed as a support range.

Short-Term Indicators Show Mixed Signals

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 67.77, below its recent high of 73.62. This suggests slowing upward momentum, but not a reversal. A drop below 60 would signal reduced buying pressure.

The Stochastic RSI is in the oversold zone, with a bearish crossover. Values are at 3.53 and 8.17, pointing to possible short-term weakness. Price movement near the $4,420–$4,450 range may determine the next direction.
