The iShares Ethereum Trust ETF, ETHA, recorded net outflows of $13.28 million on December 30, 2025, a modest but notable pullback for the fund as crypto markets close out a volatile year. With assets under management now at roughly $10.18 billion, the latest redemption represents around 0.13% of ETHA’s total AUM, suggesting investors are trimming exposure rather than staging a wholesale exit.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is trading near $2,973.21, having shed about 26.4% over the past three months amid renewed risk aversion and shifting expectations around central bank policy and digital-asset regulation. Despite the sizable drawdown, the short-term technical picture remains indecisive, with a 1-day signal of Hold, underscoring a market caught between bargain-hunting buyers and wary sellers.
For ETF investors, the relatively small percentage outflow hints at portfolio rebalancing and tax-related positioning rather than a structural loss of confidence in Ethereum-linked products. However, continued weakness in the underlying token price could test that resilience if the negative trend extends into the new year.
