Spot Ethereum ETFs recorded a significant $177.64 million in inflows on Tuesday, marking their largest single-day haul in six weeks and surpassing Bitcoin ETF flows for the day. This divergence signals a potential structural rotation in institutional crypto strategy, as firms that first entered via Bitcoin broaden their exposure. The bullish shift is further amplified by the recent opening of major U.S. wirehouses to crypto ETFs, unlocking access to trillions in previously untapped capital.

Prominent crypto analysts are debating whether Bitcoin’s established four-year cycle pattern is undergoing fundamental changes. Trader ‘Koroush AK’ observes that money is no longer simply rotating from Bitcoin to Ether to altcoins, but instead creating isolated sector pumps where only projects with both money and attention surge. Multiple analysts suggest the cycle may no longer be anchored around Bitcoin halvings but rather adoption trends and institutional maturity. While some predict the cycle may have already peaked, others believe gains could extend into 2026 due to unprecedented institutional participation. The traditional September pullback pattern also remains in focus as markets watch for historical rhymes.
