Ethereum ETFs See Inflow Surge as BlackRock's ETHA Draws in Record $300M in a Day
On Thursday, BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) booked its largest daily inflow to date, with over $300 million, pushing its total assets under management to $5.6 billion, data compiled by Farside Investors show.
That's part of a broader resurgence in ether-backed investment products.
The nine U.S.-listed ETH ETFs attracted a combined $703 million in net inflows this week, according to crypto data provider SoSoValue. Although Friday's data is still pending, it has already marked the third-strongest weekly haul since the products launched last July.
Investor demand has picked up lately even as ether's price has lagged behind bitcoin this year, a new report from asset manager Fineqia noted.
The AUM of ETH-backed exchange-traded products (ETPs) grew 61% faster in the first half of 2025 than the market capitalization of the underlying asset, a sign of steady inflows into the products, the report said.
The report notes that ETP demand began to rebound by late April and continued into June, outpacing ETH's price gain.
The capital flood helped fuel ETH's rebound to $3,000, its highest price in more than four months.

Nissan has a genius plan to make money from auto tariffs
Nissan was not quite ready to become a subsidiary at the start of the year. On February 13, Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe announced that the two Japanese carmakers would not consummate their merger agreement, which would have created the third-largest carmaker in the world by sales. Related: Toyota and Honda play a giant role in US-Japan trade negotiations Apparently, at the last minute, Honda proposed to divert from its original intention to one where "Honda would be the parent company and Nissan the subsidiary through a share exchange," a condition that broke down talks. Nissan and Honda (HMC) announced their intent to merge in December. Still, a month earlier, Nissan execs told the Financial Times that the automaker had "12 to 14 months" to survive if circumstances didn't improve. In May, Nissan announced it will be laying off 20,000 workers, about 15% of its workforce, including the 9,000 it announced in 2024 would be laid off through March 2028. Nissan is also closing seven of its 17 global factories. The moves are all part of a recovery plan to reduce costs by $3.4 billion. But instead of reducing costs, Nissan's latest move raises money by using the current tariff environment to its advantage. While President Donald Trump's administration has been in close contact with the auto industry throughout the process, the 25% auto tariffs he imposed in April have had long-lasting repercussions, as intended. Trump declared Liberation Day on April 2, 2025, but the auto industry, particularly in Japan, had been preparing for this eventuality for months. "We will be looking at how to absorb short-term shocks and what concrete measures we can take to deal with these shocks, as well as how to deal with them in an all-Japan manner," said Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association Chairman Masanori Katayama. Additionally, Katayama said the group discussed its strategies to absorb and mitigate potential tariffs with the country's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry officials. Nissan is reportedly negotiating a creative strategy to earn money while also helping a fellow Japanese automaker. Related: Nissan makes shocking move to battle tariffs Nissan is in talks to supply cars to Honda in the U.S., using the unused manufacturing capacity at its Canton plant in Mississippi. The company is considering building Honda pickup trucks at the Canton plant, where it currently builds models like its Frontier pickup. Nissan said in a statement viewed by Reuters that it would continue to work with Honda but would not speculate on any future plans. While Trump has pushed back his negotiations by another month, it appears that the U.S. and Japan are still far apart in negotiations. Ryosei Akazawa, Japan's lead trade negotiator, said Tuesday that negotiations must include auto industry concessions. Akazawa said he held a 40-minute phone call with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik, where "we are trying to agree on a package of measures." According to Reuters, those measures include expanded trade, non-tariff barriers, and cooperation on key economic security issues. However, the biggest issue on the table is Japan's auto sector. "There's no point striking a deal with the U.S. without an agreement on automobile tariffs," Akazawa said. "The two countries must garner trust through sincere dialogue, and reach common ground step by step. Through such a process, my job as negotiator is to agree on a full package as soon as possible." While General Motors still has the highest market share at 17% and Ford ranks third with a 13% market share, foreign models from Asia round out the top five, according to Cox Automotive data. Toyota ranks second with 15% U.S. market share, while Korean brand Hyundai ranks fourth with 11%. Toyota's fellow Japanese brand, Honda, is fifth in the market, with 9%.

Fiscal Deficit Fears Give a Surprising Boost to Asian EM Bonds
Bond investors worried about rising fiscal deficits are turning to an unusual haven: emerging markets. While long-dated bonds in developed markets have come under pressure this year as investors grow wary about government spending, emerging-market bonds in Asia have become a hot pick. Yields have tumbled, foreign funds have flowed in and recent debt auctions have enjoyed strong demand, unlike a number of prominent developed-market sales from the US to Japan.

Tractor Supply's (NASDAQ:TSCO) Returns Have Hit A Wall
If we want to find a stock that could multiply over the long term, what are the underlying trends we should look for? Typically, we'll want to notice a trend of growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and alongside that, an expanding base of capital employed. This shows us that it's a compounding machine, able to continually reinvest its earnings back into the business and generate higher returns. That's why when we briefly looked at Tractor Supply's (NASDAQ:TSCO) ROCE trend, we were pretty happy with what we saw. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. Just to clarify if you're unsure, ROCE is a metric for evaluating how much pre-tax income (in percentage terms) a company earns on the capital invested in its business. To calculate this metric for Tractor Supply, this is the formula: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.19 = US$1.5b ÷ (US$10b - US$2.6b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2025). So, Tractor Supply has an ROCE of 19%. In absolute terms, that's a satisfactory return, but compared to the Specialty Retail industry average of 13% it's much better. View our latest analysis for Tractor Supply In the above chart we have measured Tractor Supply's prior ROCE against its prior performance, but the future is arguably more important. If you're interested, you can view the analysts predictions in our free analyst report for Tractor Supply . The trend of ROCE doesn't stand out much, but returns on a whole are decent. The company has consistently earned 19% for the last five years, and the capital employed within the business has risen 73% in that time. 19% is a pretty standard return, and it provides some comfort knowing that Tractor Supply has consistently earned this amount. Stable returns in this ballpark can be unexciting, but if they can be maintained over the long run, they often provide nice rewards to shareholders. In the end, Tractor Supply has proven its ability to adequately reinvest capital at good rates of return. And the stock has done incredibly well with a 118% return over the last five years, so long term investors are no doubt ecstatic with that result. So while investors seem to be recognizing these promising trends, we still believe the stock deserves further research. Tractor Supply does have some risks though, and we've spotted 1 warning sign for Tractor Supply that you might be interested in.
