Ether ETFs see $788M in outflows: what’s going on?

  • The funds shed a total of $787.6 million between Tuesday and Friday.
  • Over the same period, Bitcoin ETFs saw $250.3 million in net inflows.
  • The weekly reversal comes after a strong August for Ether ETFs, which attracted $3.87 billion in inflows.

US-based spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw four straight days of net outflows during the shortened trading week following Labor Day, reversing some of the momentum that had built up in August.

The funds shed a total of $787.6 million between Tuesday and Friday, with the sharpest move on Friday when $446.8 million exited the products, according to data from Farside.

Over the same period, Bitcoin ETFs saw $250.3 million in net inflows.

The weekly reversal comes after a strong August for Ether ETFs, which attracted $3.87 billion in inflows.

Bitcoin ETFs, in contrast, recorded $751 million in outflows during the month.

Long-term optimism

Despite the recent weakness, several market participants remain bullish on Ether’s outlook.

On Wednesday, BitMine chairman Tom Lee reiterated his forecast that ETH could eventually reach $60,000.

Speaking on the Medici Presents: Level Up podcast, he said Wall Street’s growing interest in the token could become a “1971 moment” for the asset, a reference to the US ending the gold standard and ushering in a new financial era.

BitMine is the largest Ether treasury company, holding about $8.04 billion worth of ETH, according to data from StrategicETHReserve.

Collectively, Ether treasury companies now control 2.97% of the token’s circulating supply, valued at $15.49 billion at the time of publication.

Whale accumulation

Supporting that outlook, blockchain analytics firm Santiment noted that large Ether holders have steadily increased their positions.

Wallets holding between 1,000 and 100,000 ETH — worth between $4.31 million and $430.63 million — have grown their balances by 14% since April, when ETH touched yearly lows.

“In exactly 5 months, they have added 14.0% more coins,” Santiment said in a post on X.

The firm suggested that the accumulation trend could provide underlying support for the asset even as ETF flows fluctuate.

Market context

Ether traded at $4,313 on Saturday, while Bitcoin stood at $110,238.

The diverging ETF flows highlight shifting sentiment between the two largest cryptocurrencies as traders weigh the impact of macroeconomic conditions, regulatory clarity, and institutional adoption.

While short-term flows have turned negative, Ether’s strong August performance and continued interest from institutional players suggest that investors remain divided on whether the latest moves mark a pause or the start of a broader rotation back into Bitcoin.

Ether ETF mania implodes: $505M lost in just 4 days

  • Ethereum ETFs lost $505M in just four days amid profit-taking and economic uncertainty.
  • Bitcoin ETFs gained $284M, signaling a shift toward perceived safer crypto assets.
  • Analysts warn volatility may continue, but long-term fundamentals for Ethereum remain strong.

Ethereum ETFs took a sharp hit, losing $505 million in just four days. The pullback follows a strong Q3 rally, where inflows and prices were hitting new highs, but investors suddenly hit the brakes.

Rising economic uncertainty and profit-taking appear to be behind the sudden flight.

Bitcoin ETFs, by contrast, drew in $284 million over the same stretch, showing investors are still hungry for crypto exposure—but not all crypto is treated equally.

For Ethereum, it’s a mix of strong demand and high volatility that’s keeping traders on edge.

Rise and fall of Ethereum ETF inflows

Ethereum ETFs rode a blistering wave in Q3 2025, pulling in over $33 billion in net inflows.

The surge was fueled by a mix of factors: the deflationary supply model after the Merge, attractive staking yields averaging 4.5% a year, and growing adoption of Layer 2 solutions, including the Dencun upgrades.

Institutional demand helped push Ethereum’s price from roughly $2,500 in mid-July to a peak of $4,744 by late August—a near doubling in just six weeks.

ETF inflows were closely tied to the rally, showing a 62% correlation with price movements.

Ethereum’s rally ran into trouble in early September. On Tuesday, investors pulled $135.3 million out of Ethereum ETFs, moving into Bitcoin ETFs, which are seen as a safer bet amid rising economic uncertainty.

The shift dragged Ethereum’s price down more than 10% from mid-August, to $4,209, the lowest since the middle of the month.

The drop highlights short-term caution, even as Ethereum’s ecosystem keeps evolving and the long-term growth story remains on track.

What analysts say: Caution amid volatility

Market watchers see the recent ETF outflows as a typical cooldown after an exuberant rally, though they warn that volatility could linger.

Analysts stress that the outflows are driven more by profit-taking and risk management than a loss of confidence in Ethereum’s fundamentals.

Institutional interest remains solid, supported by staking rewards, Layer 2 adoption, and growing custody demand as Ethereum ETFs still hold roughly 5% of the total supply.

The back-and-forth between Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs is showing just how jittery investors are.

Bitcoin raked in $283.7 million while Ethereum saw money leaving, a clear sign traders are leaning toward what they consider safer bets as inflation and policy worries mount.

Charts show short-term hesitation, but the real test will be whether Ethereum can break past $4,550 and keep climbing.

Right now, everyone’s watching the headlines-economic data, regulations, and ETF flows for clues on the next move.

If Ethereum finds its footing, the outflows could flip fast, reinforcing its position as a top crypto, though caution is still the name of the game in this volatile stretch.
