Ethereum News Today: U.S. Ethereum ETFs face $152M outflow ending 20-day inflow streak

U.S. Ethereum spot ETFs experienced a significant $152.3 million outflow on August 1, 2025, bringing to an end a 20-day inflow streak that had accumulated $5.4 billion in July [1]. This marked the first major withdrawal since the launch of these ETF products, raising questions about investor sentiment and market stability [2]. The outflow affected several major financial institutions, including VanEck, Grayscale, and Bitwise, though BlackRock’s ETF was not impacted, suggesting stronger confidence in its product [3].

The Ethereum ETF market, which had seen assets under management rise to $20.11 billion at the peak of the inflow period—accounting for 4.7% of Ethereum’s total market capitalization—has now faced a notable correction [1]. The decline in inflows coincided with broader market uncertainty, as Bitcoin ETFs also experienced outflows around the same time [2]. This suggests a generalized shift in risk appetite among institutional investors, with some choosing to take profits or reposition portfolios following extended inflow periods.

The outflow event is part of a broader pattern of asset rotation, with one ETF alone—BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust—reporting a $465 million outflow on August 5, driven by a single ETH sale of 101,975 coins [4]. This was the largest single-day outflow for the product since its debut, underscoring a potential realignment in investor behavior [4]. Despite the outflows, Ethereum’s price remained relatively stable, trading at $3,652 as of press time, with a 2.66% increase over the previous 24 hours [4].

The shift in net flows highlights the sensitivity of crypto markets to macroeconomic and regulatory developments [3]. While the recent outflows do not necessarily signal a long-term bearish trend, they indicate a period of reassessment among investors. A recent analyst from Fast Bull noted that the event could influence institutional sentiment and potentially impact future market and regulatory dynamics in the crypto space [1].
