Investment outflows from the Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) exceeded $25 million on Oct. 1, marking a new all-time high in daily outflows among all other United States-based spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs), excluding the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE).
On Oct. 1, the spot Ether (ETH) ETFs saw cumulative outflows of $48.6 million across nine issuers. FETH, ETHE and the Bitwise Ethereum ETF (ETHW) contributed $25 million, $26.6 million and $0.9 million in outflows, respectively.

The only ETH ETFs to record positive inflows were 21Shares’ Core Ethereum ETF (CETH) and the VanEck Ethereum ETF (ETHV), which brought in $1.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The rest reported no change.
Grayscale continues to hold the record for daily outflows
Despite Grayscale’s ETHE continuing to hold the record for daily outflows, Fidelity’s milestone underscores the pressure on the ETH ETF market. However, FETH remains the second-highest in total investments, at $453.5 million.

Despite consistent inflows recorded by other players over the last three months, Grayscale outflows are closing in on the $3 billion mark. As a result, total investments in spot Ether ETFs in the US now show a $572 million deficit.

The spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETF market followed a similar trend, recording aggregate outflows of $242.6 million on Oct. 1. This also marked the largest outflows in almost a month since Sept. 3.
