BlackRock's US spot Ethereum exchange-traded fund, which holds ether directly.
US spot Ether ETFs had $542 million of net redemptions in the five sessions to October 9, extending their outflow streak to nine days. By 247 Wall St.'s count, fund assets fell $1.98 billion over those days, about three-quarters of it from Ether's lower price.
Reality
US spot bitcoin ETFs took in $21.13 million on October 9 as ether funds lost $56.10 million, a ninth straight day of outflows. Netted together, about $35 million left the two groups, so the bitcoin rebound is too small to show institutions coming back.
Reality
US spot ether ETFs lost about $408 million in six straight sessions, half of it on Tuesday from BlackRock's ETHA alone. Bitcoin funds took in $119 million that day after losing $90 million on Monday, too little over two sessions to have absorbed the ether money.
Reality
BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust lost $201.89 million to redemptions on October 6, the whole of a $202 million net outflow from US spot Ethereum ETFs. The other Ethereum funds were roughly flat that day, so the selling came from one fund's clients while the claimed move into Bitcoin went unmeasured.
Reality
ETHA's $149m on September 11 was nearly 69% of the day's $216m sector inflow, but its share of August's $1.75bn was closer to 57%, and the $13bn cumulative figure is being measured against a sector asset total.
