Ethereum recorded its third-largest weekly ETF outflow at nearly $508 million, joining Bitcoin in experiencing large investor withdrawals from exchange-traded funds tracking digital assets.
The outflow represents substantial capital movement from spot Ethereum ETFs, regulated investment funds that directly track Ethereum’s price. Bitcoin ETFs, exchange-traded funds holding the foundational cryptocurrency, have similarly faced investor withdrawals during the same period.
Analysts indicate such ETF outflows for both Ethereum and Bitcoin signal short-term institutional caution amid broader market uncertainty. Cryptocurrency analysts suggest these withdrawals may reflect temporary risk-off sentiment among larger investors in the crypto space.
The parallel outflows from both Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs highlight how institutional investors are adjusting their exposure to major digital assets, with some interpreting the movements as profit-taking following earlier periods of capital inflows into these regulated investment vehicles.
