Ethereum price drops more than 7.5%, ETHE outflow surges

Data from Coinglass

ETHE is Grayscale’s Ethereum trust ETF with a fee of 2.5%. The Ethereum spot ETF had an overall net outflow of $133 million on the second day of its listing. The culprit was Grayscale’s ETHE, which caused the sharp drop in Ethereum this week, with ETH falling to as low as around $3,100.

For most investors, the decision comes down to fees. Eight of the nine ETFs have management fees between 0.15% and 0.25%. Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH), a new fund created specifically for listing as an ETF, has a management fee of just 0.15%. These fees will be waived completely for the first six months after listing or until the fund reaches $2 billion in assets under management (AUM).

There are about 5 days until the next Federal Reserve interest rate meeting (2024.08.01)
