Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust saw outflows of $78 million on Aug. 1, bringing the cumulative outflows from the fund to just over $2 billion since its conversion to a spot ETF.
Unlike the other eight spot Ether ETFs launched as “newborn” funds on July 23, ETHE was a trust that offered institutional investors exposure to Ether.
Before its conversion, ETHE held $9 billion in Ether on its books. Outflows have now topped 22% of the initial fund as of Aug. 1.

“When it does, it’s up only from there,” Eberhardt wrote in a July 30 post to X.
Earlier, on July 23, Kaiko’s head of indexes, Will Cai, said the price of ETH would be “sensitive” to the inflows into the spot products.
Reflecting this sensitivity, ETH is changing hands for $3,168 at the time of publication, having fallen 8.5% since the ETFs launched, according to TradingView data.ETH has tumbled 8.5% since the launch of the spot ETF products. Source: TradingView
