Spot Ethereum ETFs See Record $465M Daily Outflow Amid Profit-Taking
2 Mins Read
Analysts downplay fears, calling it a temporary move after ETH’s rally
Spot Ethereum ETFs in the U.S. recorded a massive $465.1 million in net outflows on Monday, the largest single-day withdrawal since their launch. Despite the sharp exit, analysts believe the move is more about short-term profit-taking than a shift in long-term institutional sentiment.
BlackRock’s ETHA led the outflows with $375 million withdrawn, while Fidelity’s FETH and Grayscale’s ETHE and Mini Trust also experienced significant redemptions.
Outflows Follow Weeks of Record Inflows
The Monday dip follows a strong July, when spot Ether ETFs pulled in a combined $5.4 billion, including:
$2.2 billion during the second week of July
$1.9 billion in the third week
$154.3 million last week (per SoSoValue)
This context of sustained inflows makes the recent withdrawal appear more like a healthy market rotation than a bearish signal.
“This move reflects short-term profit-taking and risk-off rotation, not a long-term rejection of ETH exposure,” said Vincent Liu, CIO of Kronos Research.
Market Sentiment Remains Bullish
According to Nick Ruck, director at LVRG Research, institutional demand remains intact, especially with increasing corporate ETH accumulation.
Ethereum’s price also showed resilience, rising 4.1% in the past 24 hours to $3,675, recovering from weekend lows.
“There’s no need to read too much into daily fluctuations,” added Peter Chung of Presto Research. He noted that the outflows may actually reflect Friday’s market activity, as ETF data often lags by a day or two.
Bitcoin ETFs Also See Withdrawals
Spot Bitcoin ETFs weren’t spared, logging $333.2 million in outflows on Monday, following $812.3 million in redemptions on Friday. However, analysts caution against interpreting this as a broader market exit.
Final thoughts
While the $465 million ETH ETF outflow grabbed headlines, the broader picture suggests profit-taking during a rally, not weakening fundamentals. With continued ETH price strength and sustained corporate accumulation, institutional interest in Ethereum appears far from fading.
