Ethereum
In contrast, Ethereum ETFs continued to struggle, marking their fifth consecutive trading day of outflows. The latest data shows an $18 million outflow, driven by a significant $31.1 million withdrawal from Grayscale’s ETHE. According to Farside data, this brings the total outflows from Ethereum ETFs to a substantial $458.5 million. The ongoing outflows highlight a shift in investor sentiment away from Ethereum, even as Bitcoin continues to attract capital.
