📉 Professional Analysis: Record $465M ETH ETF Outflow Sparks Market Jitters
#Show My Alpha Points# #SOL Futures Reach New High# #Gate ETH Staking APY 5%#
🔹 Historic Exodus Hits Spot Ether ETFs
On Monday, U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs experienced their largest single-day outflow ever, totaling a staggering $465 million, as investor sentiment cooled after July’s bullish surge. This marks only the second day of outflows following a 20-day inflow streak, which had seen $5.43 billion pour into the funds.
🔹 BlackRock Takes the Biggest Blow
Leading the pullback was BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), which saw $375 million in net outflows — the largest of all Ether ETFs. Despite this, the fund maintains a strong position with $10.7 billion in assets and $9.3 billion in cumulative inflows.
🔹 Other Major Players Follow
Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) recorded $55.1 million in outflows, holding steady with $2.4B in assets.
Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH) and Ethereum Trust (ETHE) shed $28 million and $6.9 million, respectively.
🔹 ETH Price Correction Triggers ETF Reaction
Ether’s price slipped 12% to $3,380 over the weekend, likely triggering fear among ETF holders. However, it bounced back to $3,629 by Tuesday, showing resilience amid volatility.
🔹 Institutions & Whales Remain Bullish 🐋
Despite ETF outflows, on-chain data paints a different picture. Three large wallets scooped up 63,837 ETH ($236M) via OTC deals with FalconX and Galaxy Digital. Since July 9, 14 new institutional wallets have accumulated 856,554 ETH worth over $3.1 billion — a strong sign of long-term confidence in Ethereum.
🔹 Conclusion: Short-Term Panic, Long-Term Positioning?
The massive ETF outflows may signal profit-taking or temporary uncertainty, but whale behavior suggests a strategic accumulation phase is underway. As Ethereum continues to evolve — especially with upcoming ZK tech upgrades — long-term fundamentals remain strong.
