\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKey Takeaways<\/p>\n

Investment advisors increased ETH exposure to client portfolios in Q2, as per Bloomberg\u2019s latest data. Will the trend push ETH higher above $5k on the charts?<\/p>\n

Investment advisors have emerged as the top holders of Spot Ethereum [ETH]<\/a> ETFs, surpassing even hedge fund managers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In fact, according to Bloomberg data<\/a>, investment advisors had about $1.35 billion worth of exposure in ETH \u2013 Nearly double the position held by hedge funds with figures of $687 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Good for ETH?<\/p>\n

The 2x more ETH holdings held by investment advisors is a great \u201ctrend shift.\u201d Especially since they mean these firms could allocate more ETH to client portfolios, noted<\/a> one analyst.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cStill relatively small, but if this is the start of a trend shift towards a percentage allocation of their clients\u2019 portfolios to ETH, this number can rapidly increase.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the top firms, Goldman Sachs led the adoption of ETH ETFs in Q2 with figures of $721 million. <\/p>\n

Jane Street and Millennium Management came in second and third, respectively, according to 13F filings aggregated by Bloomberg.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Collectively, Spot ETH ETFs have seen remarkable growth since Q2. So far, the products are on track to hit $10 billion in net inflows since July.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At press time, the monthly inflows stood at $3.69 billion while July inflows jumped to a record high of $5.43 billion. That\u2019s $9.12 billion total inflows in Q3, figures which drove ETH\u2019s price to a new all-time high of $4.95k.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Worth pointing out, however, that Standard Chartered revised its ETH price target from $4k to $7.5k for 2025, citing crypto treasury demand. A similar projection is being priced in across the Options market on Deribit<\/a> too. <\/p>\n

In the near term though, traders have been pricing in only a 6.5% chance of ETH rallying to $5k in August. On the contrary, the odds surged to 37% for September \u2013 A sign that the market expects ETH to top the level by the end of Q3.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finally, the chances of tagging $7.5k by December 2025 were still low at 16% at press time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If the remarkable ETH treasury demand trend continues, the aforementioned high price targets could be reachable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, some market watchers have warned<\/a> that the recently released Google blockchain GCUL could dent ETH\u2019s market share in the long term.\u00a0 Additionally, on-chain analyst James Checkmate cautioned<\/a> that if Google cracks the distribution effect, the ETH accrual narrative could fade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether Google will be a threat to ETH in the next few months. In the meantime, the ETF inflows and crypto treasury trend could push the altcoin higher before Google risk materializes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
