- On August 1, there was a net inflow of $26.7 million into US Ether ETFs, led by ETHA.
- Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) experienced a $2 billion outflow, marking a significant shift among investors.
Despite continued cumulative outflows from the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) of over $2 billion, recent trends in US spot Ethereum [ETH] Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) show a contrasting picture.
Ethereum ETF Flow Analysis
On August 1, Ether ETFs recorded a remarkable turnaround with net inflows of $26.7 million.
This positive shift was largely driven by a substantial $89.6 million inflow into BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA).
On the other hand, ETHE recorded inflows worth $78 million, according to data from Farside Investors.

Making the same comment on this, Ted pillowsa prominent investor and entrepreneur, turned to X and commented:
“Ethereum ETFs had net inflows of $33,700,000. BlackRock bought $118,000,000 $ETH. ETH is just getting started, my bags are ready.
Trend shift
This development is especially notable given that Ether ETFs have recorded mostly outflows since their launch on July 23.
With the exception of July 23, July 30 and August 1, the trend was mainly negative.
While the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) saw the largest outflows since the introduction of ETH ETFs, inflows around August 1 into BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) successfully surpassed these outflows, marking a significant shift in the ETF landscape .
It is critical to highlight that, unlike the eight-spot Ether ETFs that launched as “newborn” funds on July 23, the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) was an established trust that provided institutional exposure to Ether.
Prior to the recent conversion, ETHE held a significant $9 billion worth of Ether.
However, on August 1, outflows from ETHE exceeded 22% of the initial value, underscoring a significant shift in investor sentiment despite the overall positive movement in Ether ETF inflows.
Dedic’s unique view on ether
Despite the recent positive shift in ETH ETF performance, not all investors are happy. Repeating the same, Simon DedicFounder and CEO of Moonrock Capital, commented:
“Despite the ETF going live, $ETH was the worst performing asset MTD of the entire Top 50.”
But he went on to suggest that given ETH’s current poor performance, this situation could present an attractive buying opportunity.
“Turn off your emotions for a moment and then tell me this isn’t one of the easiest purchases you’ve ever seen.”
On the price front at the time of going to press, ETH was tradedg at $3,143.34, reflecting a decline of 1.67% in the past 24 hours.
However, despite this decline, an analysis by AMBCrypto, based on data from IntoTheBlock, indicated that bullish sentiment exceeded bearish sentiment.
