🔥 Update On ETH ETFs
The much-anticipated Ethereum ETFs have been live for just over a week now, and their performance is exerting considerable pressure on the market. In particular, Grayscale's ETHE has been dragging Ethereum prices downward. In just seven trading days, ETHE has offloaded over $2 billion worth of ETH, resulting in approximately $285 million in daily outflows. This has led to cumulative net outflows of -$456.43 million, with Ethereum's price hovering around $3,100.
However, there are signs that the situation may be improving. It appears that outflows from ETHE are beginning to slow down. According to Steno Research's senior analyst, Mads Eberhardt, it’s “likely” the massive outflows from Grayscale’s ETHE will begin to subside by the end of this week, adding that slowed outflows are a bullish catalyst for the price of ETH.
As the market navigates these developments, observers are closely watching how these ETFs will impact Ethereum's pricing and overall dynamics in the weeks ahead.
