Ethereum ETFs experienced a record weekly inflow of $515 million, despite the value of Ethereum declining by 1.85% over the past week.
Record Inflows into Ethereum ETFs
Since the approval of Ethereum ETFs in July, the market has had difficulty maintaining a steady inflow. However, in the last two weeks, interest in Ethereum ETFs has surged. This is primarily due to the growing influx of institutional investors expecting a bull run.
Spot Ethereum ETFs and Their Performance
Data analysis of Sosovalue reveals that Ethereum ETFs saw a significant inflow from November 9th to 15th. During this period, Ethereum ETFs saw a record inflow of $515.17 million. This is the first time such a level has been achieved after a consistent positive inflow over three weeks. Blackrock’s ETHA saw the highest total inflow of $287 million, raising its total to $1.7 billion. Following Blackrock was Fidelity’s FETH, which saw its market expand to $755.9 million with a $197 million inflow. Meanwhile, Grayscale’s and Bitwise’s inflows were $78 million and $54 million respectively. Other ETFs such as ETHV and 21 Shares also saw moderate inflows. As a result of these inflows, the total value of Ethereum’s ETFs reached $9.15 billion.
Impact on Ethereum’s Price
Despite these inflows, Ethereum’s price did not benefit. During this period, Ethereum’s price fell from a high of $3446 to a low of $3012. Even on November 11th, when the inflow was at its highest, Ethereum’s price fell. This trend continues to persist. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $3122, showing moderate declines on both daily and weekly charts. These market conditions indicate that Ethereum is grappling with bearish sentiment in a bull market. Ethereum’s RVGI line made a bearish crossover to drop below its signal line, indicating weakening upward momentum and a potential trend reversal. Moreover, Ethereum’s netflow has remained positive over the past four days, suggesting more inflow into exchanges than outflow. This implies that investor confidence is lacking. Despite record-breaking inflows into Ethereum ETFs, Ethereum’s price charts have not seen positive impacts. On the contrary, the altcoin’s value has fallen during this period. The current market conditions suggest a potential pullback. If this occurs, Ethereum will find support around $3000. However, if the crypto market remains on an uptrend and bulls regain control, Ethereum could reclaim the $3200 resistance in the short term.
While Ethereum ETFs have attracted significant investments, Ethereum's price remains under bearish pressure, indicating potential for further decline or recovery with improved market conditions.
