Spot

Following its unexpected approval by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the spot Ethereum ETFs (exchange-traded funds) became one of the most important narratives in the cryptocurrency space. However, the <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/blackrock-altcoins-xrp-solana/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">crypto investment products</a> seem not to be living up to the hype after an underwhelming trading debut in the past week. 
<h2 id="b-grayscale-responsible-for-heavy-spot-ethereum-etf-outflows-b">Grayscale Responsible For Heavy Spot Ethereum ETF Outflows</h2> 
On Friday, 26th of July, the recently-launched spot Ethereum ETFs <a href="https://sosovalue.com/assets/etf/us-eth-spot" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">posted</a> another day of significant outflows, marking the third consecutive day of withdrawals from these products. The exchange-traded products, which launched on Tuesday, July 23, recorded a net outflow of roughly $341 in the opening week. 
According to data from SoSoValue, the spot Ethereum ETF market launched on a high note, posting a net inflow of approximately $106.8 million on day one. This first-day performance was deemed a “solid start” by market experts, especially in comparison to the launch of the Bitcoin ETFs earlier in the year. 
However, the spot Ethereum ETFs followed up with a “red day”, with over $133 million flowing out of the products on Wednesday, July 24. This was also followed by $152 million and $162 million net outflows on Thursday, July 25, and Friday, July 26, respectively.

It is worth noting that Grayscale’s ETH Trust exchange-traded fund ETHE, specifically, has been responsible for a significant percentage of the <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/wall-street-ethereum-spot-etfs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">capital outflow</a>. On Friday, the fund saw a single-day outflow of over $356 million. Since the spot Ethereum ETFs, the Grayscale product has recorded a cumulative net inflow of $1.51 billion. 
Interestingly, the price of Ethereum has largely struggled following the launch of the Ether ETFs. According to data from CoinGecko, the “king of altcoins” has declined in value by more than 7% in the past week. As of this writing, the ETH price stands at around $3,248, reflecting a 1.1% dip in the past day. 
<h2 id="b-new-money-inflow-less-impactful-on-eth-b">New Money Inflow Less Impactful On ETH</h2> 
According to CryptoQuant’s latest report, the influx of fresh capital, such as ETFs, has a less significant impact on Ethereum than on Bitcoin. This observation is based on a metric called the “realized capitalization multiplier.” 
Recent data <a href="https://cryptoquant.com/community/dashboard/66a38bd1e52ef56ab46484dc?utm_source=telegram&amp;utm_medium=sns&amp;utm_campaign=dashboard&amp;utm_content=crypto-weekly-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">shows</a> each dollar of fresh money invested in Bitcoin has the potential to increase BTC’s market capitalization by $5. Meanwhile, the effect is much lower for Ether, whose market cap would only increase by $1.3 for each invested dollar.

</blockquote> 
This revelation suggests that ETH’s multiplier effect has been significantly lower than that of Bitcoin so far in 2024.
