Ether ETFs Lose $505M in Four Days as Investor Caution Rises
Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have seen four straight days of outflows, totaling $505.4 million, marking a sharp shift after a strong August performance. During the same period, bitcoin ETFs attracted $283.7 million in new capital, highlighting diverging investor sentiment.
Spot ETH ETFs had enjoyed more than $4 billion in inflows in August, far outpacing BTC funds. But with ether’s price sliding to $4,209 on Monday—the lowest level since mid-August—investors are pulling back, signaling short-term caution.
Analysts attribute the outflows to risk management behavior, with market participants reducing exposure rather than buying the dip, even as the longer-term outlook for ether remains cautiously optimistic.
