‘ETH is slow after Ethereum ETF’ – What happens now?

  • Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust ETF saw $1.5 billion in outflows from the 23rd to the 26th of July.
  • BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF attracted $87.2 million in inflows on the 26th of July.

As a seasoned crypto investor with a deep understanding of the market dynamics, I have witnessed firsthand the significant impact of ETF approvals and investor sentiment shifts on various digital assets, including Ethereum [ETH]. The recent events surrounding Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust ETF [ETHE] and BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF [ETHA] have piqued my interest.


After the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) gave its green light for trading the Ethereum [ETH] exchange-traded fund (ETF), Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF [ETHE] has seen substantial withdrawals.

Grayscale breaks record

Between the 23rd and 26th of July, there were ETH exchange-traded fund (ETF) withdrawals amounting to over $1.5 billion in total, with a daily net withdrawal of approximately $356 million recorded on the 26th of July, as reported by Farside Investors.

The significant drop in value underscores a substantial change in investor attitude, prompting the query: Is it advisable for investors to purchase Ethereum ahead of potential price increases resulting from Grayscale’s decreasing holdings and escalating demand?

In response to this, market analysts @CuratedByR noted on X (formerly Twitter), 

Tradeing Ethereum with Grayscale before they run out of supply is as simple as it gets. Avoid making things unnecessarily complicated.

Impact on ETH’s price

In examining Ethereum’s market developments, AMBCrypto reported that ETH was currently priced at $3,366 based on data from CoinMarketCap, representing a 4% rise in value over the previous 24 hours.

In simpler terms, when the RSI value is above 51, it suggests that the market is experiencing a strong uptrend.

Another interpretation: The convergence of the Bollinger Bands at the end suggested decreasing market volatility, strengthening the belief that the ongoing bullish market trend would persist.
