Ethereum ETFs Face Record $795.6M Outflows as ETH Rises

Lede

Ethereum ETFs suffered record outflows of $795.6 million for the week ending September 26, 2025. This marked the largest withdrawal since their launch in July 2024, driven by ETH’s brief dip below $4,000 before rebounding.

Fidelity’s and BlackRock’s ETH ETFs were primarily involved, with Fidelity’s FETH seeing $362 million in outflows. Despite the outflows, on-chain data suggests investors shifted capital to direct ETH holdings.

The significant outflows from Ethereum ETFs indicate a cautious sentiment, yet analysts point to shifts to direct holdings as a lack of outright bearish outlook. The market response reflects broader investor behavior amid macroeconomic conditions.

Financial implications include substantial outflows not only from Ethereum but also from Bitcoin ETFs, amounting to $902.5 million. This highlights a broader trend of capital movement across digital assets.

Despite the withdrawals, regulatory commentary remains absent from official portals. The SEC’s recent delays in altcoin ETF decisions contribute to market uncertainty, affecting investor confidence in crypto vehicles.
