Ethereum News Today: Ethereum ETFs Post $59.3M Outflows Breaking 8-Day $3.7B Buying Streak

US spot Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs experienced a notable shift in flow patterns on August 15, 2025, with Ethereum ETFs recording a $59.3 million net outflow and Bitcoin ETFs seeing a $14.1 million outflow. This marked the end of an eight-day buying streak for Ethereum ETFs, which had cumulatively attracted $3.7 billion in inflows during that period [1]. The outflows came after a record week of ETF activity, including a $1.01 billion single-day inflow on August 12 [2], highlighting the volatile nature of crypto ETF flows in response to market sentiment and price movements.

BlackRock’s ETHA ETF remained a standout performer, posting a $338.1 million net inflow on the same day, despite the broader outflows in the Ethereum ETF category [4]. This contrasts with other major Ethereum ETFs such as FETH and ETHE, which saw significant outflows [5]. Similarly, Bitcoin ETFs also saw a reversal, with a $128.53 million net outflow on August 14, ending a seven-day inflow streak that had added $40 billion in cumulative volume [6].

The price of Ethereum had previously reached all-time highs fueled by strong ETF demand [3], but the recent outflows coincided with a broader pullback in the asset. Institutional allocations and regulatory clarity had initially driven the surge in demand, but the subsequent pullback suggests a more cautious approach by investors following rapid price appreciation [8]. Analysts have noted that these outflows are likely temporary adjustments within a broader pattern of shifting flows, which historically align with macroeconomic events and liquidity movements [9].

The combined ETF volume for both Bitcoin and Ethereum reached $40 billion in the week ending August 15, the highest single-week trading volume in crypto ETF history [6]. While Ethereum ETFs had outpaced Bitcoin in inflow volume earlier in the week, the recent outflows signal a convergence in investor behavior, with both assets experiencing corrections after record-breaking performance. Experts suggest that ongoing accumulation activities, particularly in Ethereum, could support short- to medium-term market stability [9].
