US spot Ether ETFs saw $59.3 million in outflows, ending an eight-day streak of inflows that had brought in about $3.7 billion.
Spot Ether ETFs See Big Swings in August Flows
According to Farside data, the spot Ether ETF market saw sharp ups and downs in the second week of August 2025. On August 4, investors pulled out $465 million, marking the biggest daily outflow of the month so far. The following days showed small inflows, with $73 million on August 5 and $35 million on August 6.
Momentum returned strongly from August 7, with steady inflows building up to August 11, when the market recorded $1.02 billion, the largest single-day inflow of the period. Strong gains continued, with $729 million on August 13 and $640 million on August 14.
However, August 15 reversed the trend, as heavy withdrawals of $272 million pushed the day into a $59 million net loss.
Despite the volatility, the overall picture remains positive. Total inflows for the period reached $12.7 billion, highlighting sustained investor demand for spot Ether ETFs.
The end of the eight-day inflow streak is a key sign for traders, who will now watch ETF flows and possible Ether buys from treasury firms to gauge whether the token can retest its 2021 highs.
Analysts Say ETF Inflows Key as Ether Eyes New Highs
Some analysts say constant ETF inflows are key for Ether to reach new highs.
Jake Kennis from Nansen said the rally can last “as long as flows and narrative stay strong.” Trader Langerius predicted Ether could reach $10,000 if inflows continue, while Merlijin The Trader called the recent surge in ETF inflows “institutional FOMO.”
Ether is up 29.63% in the past month, CoinMarketCap shows. But Santiment noted traders are showing more excitement for Bitcoin than Ether, which could mean Ether slightly outperforms Bitcoin soon.
Ethereum staking also hit a record this week, with 877,106 ETH ($3.88B) waiting to be unstaked, a sign of possible profit-taking.
DeFi analyst Ignas said strong buying from ETFs and treasury firms is helping balance the selling pressure.
Ether came within 1.94% of its 2021 all-time high of $4,878 before pulling back to $4,448, according to CoinMarketCap.
