US-based crypto ETFs have witnessed a change in dynamics in August, <\/a>which has seen inflows tipping towards Ethereum ETFs. However, last week\u2019s trend of strong inflows<\/a> ended with substantial outflows on Friday, with Ethereum ETFs leading the retreat with $164.64 million and Bitcoin ETFs following with $126.64 million. This sudden reversal coincides with an interesting timing of stubborn inflation data that seems to have rattled institutional investors.<\/p>\n

A Sudden Reversal At Week\u2019s End<\/h2>\n

According to data from Farside Investors, US-based Spot Ethereum ETFs ended the week with $164.64 million in outflows. The outflows came from Fidelity\u2019s FETH with $51 million, Bitwise\u2019s ETHW with $23.7 million, Grayscale\u2019s ETHE with $28.6 million, and Grayscale\u2019s ETH with $61.3 million. BlackRock, on the other hand, witnessed neither inflows nor outflows into its Spot ETH ETFs, alongside 21Shares, VanEck, Invesco, and Franklin Templeton Ethereum ETFs.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s outflows were a jarring departure from the steady gain <\/a>that had defined Ethereum\u2019s Spot ETFs since August 21. Ethereum\u2019s six-day inflow streak, which had added about $1.876 billion, was brought to an abrupt end with the outflows on Friday. As a result, total assets under management for Spot Ethereum ETFs dipped to $28.58 billion.<\/p>\n\n

Meanwhile, Spot Bitcoin ETFs also recorded their first daily decline since August 22 with $126.64 million in outflows on Friday. As a result, their total assets under management dropped to $139.95 billion.<\/p>\n

However, not every issuer felt the pressure with Bitcoin. Fidelity\u2019s FBTC led the exodus with $66.2 million, followed by ARKB\u2019s $72.07 million and GBTC\u2019s $15.3 million in outflows. On the other hand, BlackRock\u2019s IBIT still managed $24.63 million in inflows and WisdomTree\u2019s BTCW drew in $2.3 million amid the wider outflows.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

The underlying cause of the outflows can be attributed to<\/a> investors digesting the latest data on inflation released on Friday. Notably, the US core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index climbed 2.9% year-over-year in July, the fastest pace since February, creating fears that the Federal Reserve may hold off on rate cuts.<\/p>\n

What May Lie Ahead This Week<\/h2>\n

As a new trading week begins, Spot ETF flow in both Ethereum and Bitcoin is likely to depend on how investors continue to interpret the data. If inflation pressures persist, institutional investors may retreat further at the beginning of the week. However, any signs of cooling could see inflows resume mid-week, particularly into Ethereum, where fundamentals are currently favorable.<\/a><\/p>\n

On the price side of things, Bitcoin\u2019s hold above the $108,000 price may offer some relief. However, it needs to stay above $110,000 in order for any upside move to gain momentum. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $109,910.<\/p>\n

For Ethereum, a daily close above $4,500 could confirm the return of bullish confidence<\/a>, whereas a slide below $4,400<\/a> might signal further weakness. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,470, up by 1.7% in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n
