<p class="is-style-lead">Ethereum price has dropped for two consecutive days, erasing most gains in the last three weeks.</p> 
<p>The price of Ethereum (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/">ETH</a>) retreated to $3,145 on Thursday, its lowest level since July 13 and 11% below its highest point this week.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="why-ethereum-price-is-falling">Why Ethereum price is falling</h2> 
<p>This pullback happened despite the Securities and Exchange Commission’s recent approval of spot Ethereum ETFs and their strong performance.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>On Wednesday, these ETFs traded about $852 million compared to Bitcoin’s $1.1 billion, meaning that there is strong demand among investors. <a href="https://www.ishares.com/us/products/337614/ishares-ethereum-trust-etf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Data by Blackrock</a> shows that ETHA has over $269 million in assets, while the Bitwise Ethereum ETF (ETHW) has $230 million in assets.</p> 
<p>Ethereum has dropped for three reasons. In a note, Michael van de Poppe, a popular crypto analyst, pointed to the ongoing liquidations from the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE), a fund with an expense ratio of 2.50%.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>As it happened with the Grayscale Bitcoin ETF, many investors have sold their holdings and moved them to cheaper funds. For example, an ETHE investor with $100,000 in assets will pay a fee of $2,500, while one in Grayscale’s Mini Ethereum ETF (ETH) will pay just $150.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Therefore, Michael believes that Ethereum price could retreat some more soon and then bounce back when outflows from ETHE ease. He expects that the coin could jump to a record high when these outflows end.</p>

<p>Second, Ethereum price is falling as investors <a href="https://crypto.news/eth-etf-launch-sell-the-news/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sell the news</a> since the token rallied ahead of the approval. In most cases, assets rise ahead of a major event and then retreat when it happens. This happened after the recent <a href="https://crypto.news/cryptoquant-says-miners-maintain-pre-halving-pace-despite-upgrade/">Bitcoin halving</a>,<strong> </strong>the <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-etf-approvals-spark-mass-btc-adoption-experts-say/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">approval of Bitcoin ETFs</a><strong> </strong>in January, and the judgment of the Ripple vs. SEC case.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Finally, the decline aligns with the ongoing Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>) price action. BTC, the biggest crypto in the industry, has dropped for four straight days, triggering a deep sell-off among other altcoins like Avalanche (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/avalanche/">AVAX</a>) and Jasmy.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Despite the ongoing decline, a bullish case can be made for Ethereum. It is the second-biggest cryptocurrency in the world, has a long history of outperforming Bitcoin, and has strong utility, as Jay Jacobs of BlackRock said.</p>

<p>Ethereum is still the most active blockchain network. It handles the most stablecoin transactions, has the most assets in the decentralized finance industry, and makes the most money. Data by <a href="https://tokenterminal.com/terminal?v=NjdmMzcz" target="_blank" rel="">TokenTerminal</a> shows that it has made over $1.7 billion in fees this year, double what Tron (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/tron/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TRX</a>) and Bitcoin have made combined.&nbsp;</p>
