Ether ETFs Post Record $726M Daily Inflow as Analysts Signal ‘Deep Demand Shift'
That resulted in cumulative ETF inflows of $6.48 billion with total net assets now exceeding $16.41 billion, or 4% of ETH's circulating market capitalization.
BlackRock's ETHA led the charge with nearly $500 million in new inflows and over $1.78 billion in trading volume, followed by Fidelity's FETH and Grayscale's newly launched ETH, which added a combined $167 million.
But beyond the headline numbers, something deeper may be unfolding.
JLabs Digital's Ben Lilly said in a Wednesday insight that a new wave of Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) — funds and corporates accumulating ETH for yield, collateral, or payments — is changing the token's demand profile.
'We're seeing $100s of millions in ETH demand that simply didn't exist before,' Lilly wrote, pointing to a dynamic similar to PayPal's early crypto push. 'This isn't just inflow-driven price action. It's a structural shift in how ETH is being held.'
Add to that a historically strong Moneyness Ratio — a metric capturing the share of ETH locked in productive use — and the market gets a flywheel few other tokens can replicate.
ETH network demand still clocks in at around $2 million per day, but analysts suggest it could triple as more applications and treasuries integrate the token. 'Higher from here. Bid on,' Lilly added.
ETH is now up 22% month-to-date, and if the demand curve continues to steepen, we may still be far from reaching the peak of this move.

1 No-Brainer High-Dividend S&P Index Fund to Buy Right Now for Less Than $50
Key Points The SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF is a low-cost dividend index fund. It provides exposure to the highest-paying dividend stocks in the S&P 500. With a 0.07% expense ratio, it's a smart way to create passive income and strong total return potential. 10 stocks we like better than SPDR Series Trust - SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF › There are dozens of excellent dividend-focused ETFs in the stock market, but one that could be especially appealing to long-term income investors is the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF (NYSEMKT: SPYD). As the name suggests, the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF is an index fund that focuses on S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) companies with above-average dividend yields. It has a rock-bottom fee structure and could be an excellent way to get both growth and income potential in your portfolio without excessive volatility. The top quintile of S&P 500 dividend stocks Many investors don't realize it, but more than 80% of the stocks in the S&P 500 pay dividends. As of this writing, 408 of the 502 stocks in the index pay regular dividends. (Note: There are slightly more than 500 stocks because some stocks, like Alphabet, have more than one share class.) The SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF is an index fund that tracks the 80 highest-yielding companies in the S&P 500. The cutoff to be among the top 80 is a dividend yield of roughly 3.7%, although this isn't always the case due to share price fluctuations and other factors. Here's a look at some of the fund's largest holdings: Company (Symbol) % of the SPYD ETF Current Dividend Yield Phillip Morris 1.85% 3% Hasbro 1.77% 3.6% Franklin Resources 1.58% 5.3% AT&T 1.58% 4.1% Crown Castle 1.57% 4% AES 1.54% 5.1% Data source: State Street. Table by author. Over the past 12 months, the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF has a distribution yield of about 4.5%, making it one of the higher-paying dividend ETFs in the market. It has a rock-bottom 0.07% expense ratio, which means that for every $1,000 you invest in the fund, your annual investment costs are just $0.70. To be clear, this isn't a fee you have to pay -- it will simply be reflected in the performance over time. Speaking of performance, since the fund's 2015 inception, it has delivered an annualized total return of about 8.5%. That's somewhat lower than the S&P 500 as a whole, but keep in mind that the S&P's total returns have been largely fueled by megacap tech stocks (which aren't included in this fund), and that many high-dividend stocks have far more consistent cash flows and less volatility, so there's a bit of a trade-off. In a nutshell, the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF is a low-volatility way to achieve solid total returns and a consistent income stream over time. Why buy the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF? This is an excellent ETF for income-seeking investors who also worry about capital preservation, but who don't want to simply put their money in fixed-income instruments like a bond ETF. It might not be the best fit for investors looking to grow their portfolio more aggressively. It's worth noting that although the S&P 500 is near an all-time high, the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF is still about 8% below its peak. However, a falling interest rate environment, like most experts believe will happen over the next couple of years, could disproportionately benefit high dividend stocks. I don't want to turn this into a math lesson, but the general idea is that as risk-free interest rates fall (like Treasury yields), the yields of other income-focused instruments like high dividend stocks tend to fall as well. Since yield and price have an inverse relationship, this could cause shares of the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF to gravitate higher. In short, this is an excellent income ETF to hold for the long term, and now could be an opportune time to buy before the Federal Reserve starts lowering rates.

Frigidaire Mini-Fridges Cause $700,000 in Damage After Smoking, Sparking, Burning, Melting, Overheating, and Catching Fire
Over 600,000 Frigidaire mini-fridges are being recalled over internal electrical components that have short-circuited and ignited, according to an announcement by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The faulty fridges have cost over $700,000 in property damage thus far, according to a new recall notice. 'Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled minifridges and follow the instructions to receive a refund at CPSC said in a press release. 'Consumers should unplug and cut the power cord and write 'Recall' using a permanent marker on the front door of the unit. Consumers should dispose of the recalled minifridges in accordance with local and state regulations.' The fridges were sold at Walmart and other physical retail stores nationwide. They were sold online at and from January 2020 until December 2023, according to the CPSC. Sold in a variety of colors, the minifridges retailed for $36-$40 and came in two sizes that could hold 6 cans and 9 cans. The effected units are distributed by a Canadian company called Curtis International and the list of damage that's been reported is extensive, with CPSC rattling it off in an oddly long manner: 'Curtis International has received at least 26 reports of the minifridges smoking, sparking, burning, melting, overheating and catching fire, with property damages totaling more than $700,000. Two consumers reported smoke inhalation injuries.' Consumers are encouraged to look for the model number and serial number on their fridge, which is located on labels on the back. The models and accompanying serial numbers that are being recalled include: The recalled appliances were made in China and are marketed as 'retro' because they look like something from the 1960s. They're still available for purchase at the Frigidaire website in a version that presumably doesn't smoke, spark, burn, melt, overheat, or catch fire. Faulty electronics really seem to be causing quite a bit of havoc recently, with another recall from this past week of Transpro Electric Scooters reportedly causing $200,000 in property damage after a battery-related fire. Curtis International can be reached toll-free over the phone at 888-727-0198 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET Monday to Friday. The company's email is [email protected], though consumers are encouraged by the CPSC to visit for more information about the recall.

Astronomer uses Gwyneth Paltrow, Coldplay frontman's ex-wife, as 'temporary' spokesperson in new promotional video
Astronomer released a humorous promo video featuring Gwyneth Paltrow after leadership changes. Two former executives were involved in a now-infamous kiss-cam incident at a Coldplay concert. Paltrow promoted Astronomer's data and AI products and an upcoming conference. Astronomer is taking the Coldplay incident and running with it. After former CEO Andy Byron and head of HR Kristin Cabot resigned following the now-infamous "kiss-cam" style Coldplay concert footage, the company responded with a humorous video of its own, featuring Coldplay frontman Chris Martin's ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. In the brand-new video, Paltrow said she had been hired on a "very temporary basis" to represent the "more than 300 employees" at Astronomer, and to answer some very common questions. Then, instead of addressing what Astronomer likely got the most attention for, Paltrow proceeded by promoting its latest data and AI products — all with a straight face. After another video header that seems to ask how Astronomer's social media team is holding up, Paltrow went on to say there is still room available in the company's Beyond Analytics data conference in September. "Thank you for your interest in Astronomer," the award-winning actor said as the video ended. Astronomer became an internet sensation mid-July when Byron and Cabot, who were both company executives at the time, were embracing in a "kiss-cam" crowd footage at a Coldplay concert just outside of Boston. The pair appeared horrified and immediately hid from he camera after being spotlighted on the big screen, prompting Coldplay lead singer Martin to say that they are either "having an affair or just very shy." The video has since gone viral and generated countless internet memes. The company's board promptly launched an investigation into the incident, and Byron and Cabot both resigned from Astronomer within the week. Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy has since stepped up as interim CEO while the company searches for a more permanent replacement. As for Paltrow and Martin, the pair famously dubbed their split "conscious uncoupling" in March 2014 and finalized their divorce in 2016 after 13 years of marriage. Astronomer did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Do you work at Astronomer and want to talk about the impact of all the attention on the company?
