The Bitwise Ethereum ETF, ticker ETHW, recorded a sharp outflow of $13.01 million on December 16, 2025, as investors continued to trim exposure to the struggling Ethereum market. The latest redemption represents roughly 3.87% of the fund’s $336.49 million in assets under management (AUM), a meaningful hit that underscores mounting caution around Ethereum-linked products.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $3,005.02, having dropped about 31% over the past three months. That slide has erased a substantial portion of prior gains and appears to be weighing on institutional sentiment, as reflected in the sustained outflows from ETHW. The 1-day technical outlook for ETH-USD is flashing a bearish signal, with a consensus rating of Sell, suggesting traders see limited near-term relief.
The combination of persistent price pressure and negative technicals is prompting some investors to lock in remaining profits or cut losses, even as longer-term Ethereum bulls argue that network fundamentals and ongoing upgrades could eventually support a recovery. For now, however, the latest ETHW flows highlight how sensitive crypto-linked ETFs remain to short-term volatility and sentiment swings in the underlying token.
