Spot

United States exchange-traded funds investing in spot Ether have turned to a net outflow of $113.3 million on their second day of trading, primarily due to heavy bleeding from Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust.
Seven of the eight “newborn” Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>) ETFs posted net inflows on day two of trading. Fidelity’s Ethereum Fund (FETH) and the Bitwise Ethereum ETF (BITW) led the pack with the largest net inflows, posting $74.5 million and $29.6 million in new flows, respectively.
BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), which posted the most robust inflows out of the group on July 23, only gathered $17.4 million from investors on July 24.

The new spot funds were weighed down by another heavy day of selling from the recently converted Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE), which hemorrhaged $326.9 million in outflows.
Launched by Grayscale in 2017, ETHE allowed institutional investors to purchase ETH. However, it imposed a six-month lock-up period on all investments. Upon its conversion to a spot Ether fund on July 22,&nbsp;investors have been able to sell their ETH more easily.
In the two days following its conversion, ETHE has witnessed $811 million in outflows, meaning that existing ETHE investors have now sold off just over 9% of the fund’s holdings.

The recent Ether ETF performance isn't unprecedented.&nbsp;
Spot Bitcoin ETFs posted cumulative net outflows for six out of ten of their first trading days, with many blaming Grayscale Bitcoin ETF bleeding.
ETH is currently trading for $3,172, down over 6.8% in the last 24 hours and 7.4% on the week, per TradingView data.
Ether’s souring price action came amid a wider sell-off in the equities market, with the S&amp;P 500 closing down 2.3% on the day.

Notably, ETH fell more sharply relative to Bitcoin, which only tumbled 2.6%. This is in line with Kaiko analyst Will Cai’s prediction that ETH’s price could be extremely “sensitive” to inflows following the launch of the ETFs.
Grayscale’s ETHE shed $484.4 million on its first day of trading as a spot Ether fund. However, robust inflows across the other eight products pushed cumulative net inflow to <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-etf-inflows-106-million-first-day-trading" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$106.6 million</a>.
