The Bitwise Ethereum ETF, ticker ETHW, recorded net outflows of $13.98 million on December 24, 2025, a sizable move that trimmed roughly 4.1% of its asset base in a single session. Despite the redemptions, the fund still manages $340.56 million in assets under management, underscoring that while investors are taking money off the table, core exposure to Ethereum remains intact.
The latest withdrawal continues a cautious tone around Ethereum-focused products after a volatile quarter in the underlying token. The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $2,939.23, down about 28.1% over the past three months. Short-term momentum remains negative, with ETH flashing a 1-day technical signal of Strong Sell, a backdrop that likely contributed to profit-taking and risk reduction in ETHW.
While a single day of outflows does not define a long-term trend, the holiday-week move suggests some institutional and sophisticated investors are unwilling to ride out further drawdowns after Ethereum’s sharp pullback. If price weakness persists and technicals stay bearish, more defensive positioning in Ethereum ETFs could follow; conversely, any stabilization in spot prices may invite opportunistic inflows as investors hunt for entry points at lower valuations.
