Ether ETFs Reverse Three-Day Positive Streak with $39.21M Outflows

• Ether ETFs have reversed a three-day positive streak.
• Investors pulled tens of millions from the funds on Thursday.
• Meanwhile, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded mild inflows.

U.S.-listed spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) seem to have fallen out of favor with investors as on Thursday, tens of millions left the funds.  

The development marks a reversal trend for Ether ETFs, which recently fared better with a record positive inflow streak. Prior to this sudden pause, for the first time since their launch , the funds witnessed three days of consecutive inflows totaling $40.04 million.

Thursday’s trading volume stood at $240.58 million, slightly improving from $155.91 million on Wednesday and $190.76 million on Tuesday.

Grayscale’s ETHE reported the only outflow on August 15 as investors pulled $42.5 million from the fund. Outflows from this fund since it began trading on July 23 have totaled $2.39 billion.  

Fidelity’s FETH and BlackRock’s ETHA stole the show on Thursday as the only funds with a positive inflow. FETH and ETHA attracted $2.54 million and $770,130 respectively, while the remaining funds posted zero flows. Notably, 21Share’s CETH extended its zero-flow streak to an eleventh consecutive day.

In stark contrast to Ethereum, spot Bitcoin ETFs witnessed moderate inflows on Thursday as investors poured $36.1 million into three funds, as shown through Farside Investors‘ preliminary data . This included Fidelity’s FBTC, Grayscale’s Mini Trust BTC, and Bitwise’s BITB.

Grayscale’s GBTC overshadowed the inflows with $25 million outflows, bringing the day’s total net inflow to $11.1 million.
