That was the fault of Grayscale, whose Ethereum Trust faced massive outflows of 11,885 ETH worth $31.61 million. Currently this ETF fund contains a massive Ethereum chunk of 1,830,266 ETH valued at almost $5 billion. Overall, in the last week, Grayscale has lost 61,901 ETH.
As for inflows, it was Fidelity Ethereum Fund that scored the largest one — it saw an influx of 5,500 ETH and increased its stash by 11,250 ETH during the past week.
BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust saw zero inflows this time, and so did the other Ethereum ETFs, except for Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (plus 1,602 ETH) and Invesco Galaxy Ethereum ETF (minus 189 ETH).
