U.S. Ethereum (ETH) spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded large capital outflows of more than $600 million last week.

On the 22nd (local time), according to TraderT, the weekly net outflow of U.S. Ethereum spot ETFs was $644 million (about 953.9 billion won). During the same period, trading volume was around $9 billion (approximately 13 trillion won), and the most traded price range on a weekly basis was $2,951.

Last week, BlackRock's ETHA led the overall flow with a net outflow of $558 million. Grayscale's Ethereum spot ETF also saw about $49 million in outflows.

Market observers interpret that, as with Bitcoin spot ETFs, Ethereum ETFs are also reflecting both year-end liquidity reduction and risk-management demand. It is seen as the result of some institutional investors taking profits and reducing their allocations in a situation where price rebounds are limited.
