Ethereum experienced a downturn below $4,000 on October 13, 2025, driven by substantial ETF outflows and heightened investor activity. Key figures highlight the impact: BlackRock’s ETF witnessed a significant outflow of $310 million, contributing to market volatility, while BitMine accumulated over 100,000 ETH during this period. This decline mirrors broader market trends, impacting other altcoins and signaling Ethereum’s vulnerability to market sentiment. Although the price retreated below $4,000, institutional investors like BitMine demonstrated confidence through significant accumulation of ETH, potentially mitigating further losses. 7.5 billion dollars worth of net outflows from Ethereum ETFs have been reported, with BlackRock’s ETF leading the charge. The lack of commentary from Ethereum’s leadership has amplified influence of these institutional actions.
