Ethereum ETF saw more than $1.04 billion in net withdrawals over six straight trading days as investors became less confident due to macroeconomic uncertainty. On Monday, people took out $96.7 million from these controlled items.

Spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw net outflows of more than $1.04 billion over six trading days in a row. Investors drew back because of rising macro uncertainties and falling confidence in rate-cut tailwinds.

BlackRock’s ETHA led the way with $192.7 million in withdrawals, while Ether ETFs as a whole witnessed a net outflow of $96.7 million on Monday. Fidelity’s FETH received $75 million, Grayscale’s ETHE received $9.5 million, and its micro fund received $11 million, which helped to make up for some of this.

According to SoSoValue, the total trading volume was $1.52 billion, and the total net assets fell to $27.39 billion, which is 5.28% of Ether’s market value.

The CME FedWatch Tool data shows that there is a 100% chance of rate decreases in September, but expectations for Federal Reserve policy are still changing. Top strategists say that lower rates could not have the positive effects on the economy that people expect.

David Kelly of JPMorgan says that lower rates could potentially hurt business sentiment and lower retirement income. This point of view goes against what most people think about how monetary policy helps risky assets like Ethereum ETF Crypto Institutional goods.

Across the board, defensive positions are showing up as Treasury rates stay low, the dollar moves sideways, and gold prices go up. Ethereum is trading above the support zone of $4,250 to $4,300, but it is having trouble breaking through the $4,500 mark.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs, on the other hand, had $368.25 million in inflows on Monday, ending a two-day sequence of outflows. This difference shows that certain institutions are still interested in crypto ETFs, even though there are still macro concerns.

The different flows between Bitcoin and Ethereum products show that investors are making tactical decisions about how to allocate their money instead of leaving the crypto market as a whole.
