Ethereum Reclaims $2,600 as Inflation Data Supports Risk Assets

Ethereum pushed toward the $2,600 level as softer inflation data improved sentiment across risk assets.

The move came as markets reacted to easing core CPI, with investors watching the inflation picture closely ahead of the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy decision.

ETH’s rally is notable because recent ETF flows have been less consistent. U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs have seen periods of renewed inflows, but the latest sessions have also recorded net outflows, showing that institutional demand remains mixed.

Ethereum had recently attracted strong ETF interest, with spot funds recording more than $218 million in weekly inflows through September 4.

The combination of improving inflation signals and shifting ETF flows leaves ETH at an interesting point as markets await the Fed’s next decision.
