The VanEck Ethereum ETF, ETHV, recorded net outflows of $6,432,675 on December 16, 2025, a move that shaved roughly 3.77% off its assets under management in a single day. The fund now oversees $170.6 million in AUM, underscoring how swiftly sentiment can turn in an already fragile Ethereum market.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is trading around $2,851.10, after a steep three‑month slide of about 38.4%. Technically, the short-term picture remains weak, with a 1-day signal flashing Sell, reflecting persistent downward pressure amid broader risk-off behavior across digital assets.
The simultaneous price drawdown in Ethereum and meaningful redemptions from ETHV suggest that investors are not yet ready to call a bottom. Instead, they appear to be locking in remaining profits or cutting losses, wary that ongoing macro uncertainty and regulatory scrutiny could keep volatility elevated. Still, with nearly $171 million remaining in the ETF, some holders are clearly betting on a longer-term recovery in Ethereum’s network activity and use cases, even as short-term traders head for the exits.
