Ethereum ETF Flows Flip Positive

‍

Ethereum spot ETFs have finally seen their first positive inflow day after two weeks of constant outflow since August 14. The day saw $8.4M in inflows to BlackRock’s ETHA after five consecutive days of no inflows for the ETF, while Fidelity’s FETH also saw $1.3M in inflows on the same day. The net positive inflow was also supported by Grayscale’s 3.9M outflow, its smallest outflow since 13th August.

The $5.9M net positive inflow may come as a relief to traders after days of negative flows and ETH’s relative weakness against other cryptocurrency majors. Ethereum founder, Vitalik Buterin, added to the negative sentiment with his recent comments on the circular nature of the current state of the Ethereum DeFi ecosystem, claiming them to be unsustainable.

On the same day, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a collective outflow of $105.3M, with the majority coming from 21Shares’ ARKB. The outflows could possibly signal a rotation to Ethereum spot ETFs or simply a general derisking with a weakening equities market.
