Interestingly, BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (with the ticker ETHA) was the only ETH exchange-traded fund that recorded a negative outflow on the day. The largest Ethereum ETF by net assets lost nearly $101 million in value to close the week.
Meanwhile, Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (with the ticker ETH) was the only other spot ETH exchange-traded fund that saw any trading activity on Friday. Data from SoSoValue shows that the Ether-linked investment product witnessed a capital influx of $7.4 million.
What’s more worrying is that this is the second consecutive weekly outflow for the Ethereum ETFs for the first time since April, signaling reduced investor appetite. Demand for the exchange-traded funds, which has been quite a bright spot for Ethereum in recent weeks, seems to now be waning.
While this sluggish condition has been a general concern for the crypto market, the large-cap assets seem to have it worse at the moment. The Ethereum price, for instance, has particularly struggled to recover and hold above the psychological level of $4,000.
As of this writing, the price of ETH stands at around $3,950, reflecting a mere 0.7% leap in the past 24 hours.
