Ethereum News Today: Ethereum ETFs Face $465M Outflow as 20-Day Inflow Streak Ends

On August 4, 2025, BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) recorded a record outflow of $375 million, marking the largest single-day outflow since the fund’s launch [1]. This significant withdrawal occurred amid a broader trend of declining investor confidence in Ethereum ETFs, as the category collectively saw $465 million in redemptions on the same day [1]. This outflow follows a 20-day inflow streak that saw Ethereum ETFs accumulate $5.4 billion in July [1], making the sudden reversal particularly noteworthy.

The outflow was not confined to BlackRock’s offering. The Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) also experienced a $55.1 million outflow, and no Ethereum ETF reported a positive net flow during the period [1]. This is a significant shift from the recent bullish sentiment that had pushed Ethereum’s price to near $4,000. Additionally, Bitcoin ETFs also reported outflows of $333 million, suggesting that investor behavior across the crypto ETF market is becoming increasingly cautious or volatile [1].

Despite the redemptions, Ethereum’s price rose by approximately 4% in the 24 hours following the outflow [1]. This divergence between ETF activity and price movement could indicate that while retail investors are pulling back, long-term holders and institutional investors may still view Ethereum as a viable asset for accumulation. Whether this outflow signals a broader market correction or a temporary pause in the inflow trend remains to be seen.

The sudden shift highlights the growing influence of ETFs on crypto markets and underscores the volatile nature of fund flows in a still-evolving asset class. Since the beginning of their inflow period, Ethereum ETFs have attracted a total of $9.02 billion [1], making this outflow a significant turning point. Analysts will be watching closely for any reversal in outflow trends, as this could indicate a shift in investor sentiment or a return to the inflow dynamics that defined much of the second half of the year [1].
