  • BlackRock and Fidelity rotated $180M from BTC into ETH, anticipating staking approval and momentum.
  • Social sentiment and whale moves show growing institutional and retail confidence in Ethereum’s near-term outlook.

Ethereum [ETH] is having a moment — and institutions know it.

Capital is rotating fast, with giants like BlackRock and Fidelity quietly trimming their Bitcoin [BTC] positions and loading up on ETH. It’s a strategic move, likely in anticipation of long-awaited ETH staking approval.

At the same time, social sentiment is buzzing, and whale activity is picking up, all pointing to a market mood that’s increasingly pro-Ethereum… even as some big holders are still underwater.

The great rotation

Institutions are making their play, and it’s not Bitcoin they’re betting on! On the 2nd of June alone, BlackRock and Fidelity unloaded a combined $180 million in BTC, as shown in the latest ETF net inflow data.

Where did that capital go? Straight into Ethereum.

Reports suggest nearly 30,000 ETH — valued around $78 million — were scooped up by the same players.

The shift is clear: Institutional capital is front-running a potential ETH staking approval, rotating aggressively into what’s increasingly seen as the future of digital assets.

Ethereum: The popular kid in town

According to Santiment data, for every bearish post on ETH, there are three bullish ones, reflecting a euphoric tone among traders.

In contrast, Bitcoin’s ratio is a modest 1.3:1, suggesting a more cautious outlook. The divergence in mood shows growing confidence in Ethereum’s near-term potential, especially amid ETH staking approval rumors.

As the crypto crowd leans into optimism for ETH, the gap in sentiment between the two leading assets continues to widen.

Smart money moves, even when in red

Even whales aren’t immune to losses, but their moves still matter.

A prominent Ethereum whale, who accumulated over 13,478 ETH ($49M) between December 2024 and January 2025, has recently started offloading ETH to Binance, sending 10,000 ETH ($24.55M) in the last two weeks alone.

Despite a $15.66M loss, the whale still holds 3,478 ETH; suggesting a planned move, not panic. It reflects how big players are repositioning ahead of possible ETH staking approval.
