Ethereum attracts $35 million in weekly inflows, and institutional holdings surpass $450 million—bullish signals behind the trend

【Crypto World】The performance of Ethereum over the past week has been quite interesting—money is continuously flowing in. In the last 24 hours alone, liquidity bridged from Layer 2 networks like Base and Polygon has reached $35 million, indicating high activity among investors in this area.

The numbers related to stablecoins tell a clearer story. The supply of stablecoins on the Ethereum chain has reached $164.86 billion, meaning a large amount of funds are sitting in accounts, waiting for entry opportunities. From January 1 to 7, Ethereum’s total value locked (TVL) increased by $6.52 billion, with $1.78 billion added on the last day alone, showing that the growth rate is indeed accelerating.

The actions of institutional investors more directly reflect market confidence. Data shows that investors transferred out $108.66 million worth of Ethereum from exchanges, a significant increase compared to the $20.76 million earlier this week. Meanwhile, institutional-level investors held a total position of $457.2 million from January 4 to 7.

What do these data points reveal? Although Ethereum’s price has been relatively steady around $3,200, the market’s bullish sentiment has been persistent. Large funds are positioning themselves, stablecoins are accumulating, and on-chain liquidity is being activated—all signs pointing in the same direction.
