Ether ETF Outflows Hit $912M as Bitcoin ETF Inflows Reach $524M
CoinShares data for the week to September 8, 2025, shows Ether ETF outflows of $912 million amid a 27% slump in trading volumes, contributing to total net crypto fund redemptions of $352 million. In contrast, Bitcoin ETFs attracted $524 million in inflows as investors took profits on Ether near record highs and rotated into perceived ‘hard-asset’ BTC amid macroeconomic uncertainty. US-listed crypto ETFs recorded $440 million in outflows, while German-listed products saw $85 million of inflows. Spot Ether ETFs now hold about $26 billion in AUM, with BlackRock’s ETHA controlling $16 billion. Traders should monitor weekly volume and regional flows for signs of sentiment shifts and short-term volatility.
Bearish
The $912 million outflows from Ether ETFs combined with a 27% drop in trading volumes signal weakening demand for ETH, likely exerting short-term downward pressure on its price. While Bitcoin’s $524 million inflows highlight stronger BTC demand, they don’t offset the overall ETF redemptions. Profit-taking at record highs and macroeconomic uncertainty suggest continued capital rotation away from Ether, extending bearish sentiment. However, with $26 billion in AUM and outflows driven by profit-taking rather than a narrative collapse, any price dips may attract value buyers and provide long-term support.
