Ether ETFs Saw $340M of Negative Outflows in Their First Week
More than $1.5 billion of exits from Grayscale's high-fee Ethereum Trust more than offset inflows into the other spot products.

Overall the spot ETH ETFs endured $340 million in net outflows with more than $1.5 billion exiting from the Grayscale Trust, according to Farside Investors.

The price action seemed to reflect the lackluster ETF action, with ether slipping 5% last week while bitcoin added 2%.
Forgetting Grayscale's ETHE, the other newly listed ether ETF products did attract $1.15 billion inflows last week, led by offerings from BlackRock, Bitwise and Fidelity.
While the current pace of outflows from ETHE would mean the fund would run out of assets in the next four weeks, analysts expect that they could start tapering off as early as this week.
Quinn Thompson, founder of digital asset hedge fund Lekker Capital, pointed out that ETHE have already shed the same amount of assets as GBTC when bitcoin found a local bottom in late January during its post-ETF sell-off. BTC fell 15% to below $39,000 in two weeks, then marched on a rally to new all-time highs.
Larry Fink is laughing in disbelief that the market is going to let him run back the exact playbook on the ETH ETFs as BTC. The % of ETHE outflows right now corresponds to the % of GBTC outflows between Jan 23-24. It truly is going to be that simple isn't. https://t.co/jPQnmWMuQJ pic.twitter.com/vc5WhrtzVD

Mads Eberhardt, senior crypto analyst at Steno Research, noted that GBTC outflows significantly subsided after the eleventh trading session, and predicted that ETHE could follow the same path.
"The Ethereum ETF net outflow is yet to subside, but it is likely that it will happen this week," Eberhard said in a Monday X post. "When it does, it's up only from there," he said.
