As an experienced financial analyst who has closely followed the cryptocurrency market for years, I’ve seen my fair share of volatile price movements and the impact of regulatory decisions on various assets. The second day of trading for the newly launched Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) has been a stark reminder of these dynamics.
On the second day of Ethereum ETF trading, a significant difference emerged: Over $133 million was taken out of the largest financial instruments.
As a crypto investor, I’ve experienced a significant setback when the price of the underlying asset plummeted by 10% within a day. Initially, positive news had been reported, but it seemed that these approvals served as a catalyst for selling rather than buying, resulting in this steep decline.
Yesterday, according to CryptoPotato’s report, Ethereum-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) had a successful debut on July 23rd, attracting over $106 million in total investments. BlackRock’s ETHA and Bitwise’s ETHW were the top performers, bringing in $266.5 million and $204 million respectively.
Despite the significant exit of $484 million from Grayscale’s ETHE converted fund, they were able to minimize the resulting effect.
On July 24th, the financial terrain showed a stark contrast. Grayscale experienced significant outflows totaling $326.9 million for its product, while other ETFs faced a noticeable lack of demand. The combined withdrawals for the day reached an impressive figure of $133.3 million. However, it was Fidelity’s FETH that stood out with inflows amounting to $74.5 million.
It was anticipated that ETH‘s value might decrease based on the lackluster debut of its recently released products. The asset experienced a significant drop, falling from nearly $3,500 to a recent low of $3,130, representing a 10% decline.
Although ETH has regained some losses since then, its value remains 8% lower than the day’s opening price and hovers around $3,100. Approximately $100 million worth of long Ethereum positions were liquidated in the previous day, representing a significant chunk (about one-third) of the current total ($292 million).
As an analyst looking back, I recall noticing several reports prior to the Ethereum ETF launch predicting that the initial reaction to the new products would be selling pressure, or a sell-the-news event.
