What Ethereum ETFs Did: In contrast, Ethereum ETH/USD spot ETFs faced challenging conditions, marking their fourth straight day of net outflows, data shows.
On July 29, these funds experienced a total net outflow of $98.2856 million, indicating a shift in investor sentiment towards Ethereum-based products.
Grayscale‘s ETHE bore the brunt of the Ethereum outflows, with investors withdrawing $210 million in a single day. However, the picture was not uniformly negative across all Ethereum ETFs.
BlackRock‘s ETHA and Fidelity‘s FETH managed to attract inflows of $58.1696 million and $24.8242 million, respectively.
Interestingly, Grayscale’s mini ETF ETH also saw positive movement, with inflows of $4.8967 million.
These contrasting fund flows occurred against the backdrop of a volatile cryptocurrency market.
Bitcoin’s price saw a sharp correction, falling from a recent high of $70,000 to $66,480, a 4.1% decline over 24 hours.
This price action triggered significant liquidations in the Bitcoin futures market, totaling $76.89 million, with long positions accounting for $69.71 million of these liquidations, according to CoinGlass data.
Similarly, Ethereum’s price dipped 1.6% to $3,332 over the same period, aligning with the outflows seen in its ETF products.
