In contrast, Grayscale’s “ETHE” struggled, suffering a $27.7 million outflow. This continues a pattern of negative flows for the fund. VanEck’s “ETHV” also saw a $4.8 million outflow, marking another decline.
Several other ETFs remained stable. Bitwise, 21 Shares, Invesco, Franklin, and Grayscale’s “ETH” recorded no inflows or outflows. This neutral activity indicates a pause in investor movement for these funds.
