Ethereum Jitters: iShares’ ETHA ETF Sees $102 Million One-Day Outflow as Token Slides

Ethereum ETF Faces Jitters as Outflows Hit $102 Million in a Single Day

The iShares Ethereum Trust ETF, ETHA, saw a sharp reversal in sentiment on December 19, 2025, with investors pulling $102.24 million from the fund. The outflow, while just over 1.0% of its latest $9.86 billion in assets under management (AUM), signals mounting caution around Ethereum-linked products after a volatile quarter for the underlying token.

The move represents a meaningful one-day swing for a large, institutionally focused vehicle like ETHA. While a 1.04% redemption relative to AUM is not yet indicative of a broad exodus, it does suggest that a segment of investors is locking in gains or cutting exposure amid heightened uncertainty in the crypto complex. For ETF allocators, such a flow can be an early sign of shifting risk appetite, especially if followed by further redemptions in coming sessions.

The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $3,005.02, having lost roughly 31% over the past three months. That drawdown underscores the pressure on Ethereum despite broader enthusiasm earlier in the year around network upgrades and the growth of decentralized finance. The short-term tone remains fragile as well: the 1-day technical signal for ETH-USD is flashing Sell, reflecting weak near-term momentum and reinforcing the defensive stance evident in ETHA’s latest flows.

For now, ETHA remains a sizable vehicle with nearly $10 billion in AUM, giving larger institutions and retail investors alike a liquid avenue for Ethereum exposure. But with both price action and technicals skewing negative, market participants will be watching closely to see whether this week’s outflow proves a blip—or the start of a more prolonged pullback in Ethereum ETF demand.
