Yesterday, August 1, the total outflows from the Grayscale Ethereum ETF (ETHE) surged past $2 billion. Thus, within just eight trading sessions, the ETHE AUM has tanked by 22% and is currently just above $7 billion.
The good thing is that the outflows from the Grayscale Ether ETF (ETHE) have been on a decline. On Thursday, August 1, ETHE’s net outflow stood at $78 million, thereby dropping under $100 million for the first time since inception. The Grayscale Ethereum mini-ETF (ETH) is compensating for some of the outflows, with more than $200 million in inflows so far.
