While ETHE experienced significant outflows, other spot Ether ETFs showed varying trends. The Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF (ETH) reported no outflows, maintaining its net inflows at $201 million.

As of August 3, the total net asset value of spot Ether ETFs stands at $8.3 billion. The ETF net asset ratio, which compares the market value of Ether held in the ETFs to the total market value of ETH, is currently at 2.29%.
Since their market debut on July 23, cumulative net outflows from spot Ether ETFs have reached $511 million.
On August 1, however, daily net inflows to spot Ether ETFs were positive. They posted a net inflow of $26.7 million, led by a $89.6 million inflow into BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA).
