Ethereum ETFs See Major Outflows as Institutions Cash Out

Ethereum Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) have experienced their largest daily outflow, signaling a shift in institutional sentiment and profit-taking after months of substantial gains. Data from February to August 2025 reveals a complete cycle of skepticism, accumulation, followed by a sudden profit-taking move from big investors who pushed Ethereum’s price to $3,683.65. This is attributed to institutional investors shifting away from ETFs and instead opting for direct ETH holdings with staking rewards due to increased control and fewer regulatory hurdles.
