The VanEck Ethereum ETF, ETHV, logged a sharp outflow of $6,432,675 on December 16, 2025, as investors pulled risk capital from Ether-linked products. The redemption equals roughly 3.98% of the fund’s latest reported assets under management (AUM) of $161.53 million, a sizeable swing for a single day that underscores growing unease around Ethereum’s near-term trajectory.
The move comes against a weak backdrop for the underlying asset. The related cryptocurrency, ETH-USD, is trading around $2,981.73, down about 33.29% over the past three months. Technically, Ether’s short-term picture remains fragile, with a 1-day signal flashing Sell, suggesting momentum traders and systematic strategies may still be skewed to the downside.
The near-4% single-day outflow indicates that some holders of ETHV are not waiting for a potential rebound, likely reacting to the combination of a sustained drawdown in Ether and deteriorating technicals. While long-term Ethereum bulls may view these redemptions as a capitulation signal or a chance to re-enter at lower levels, the flows highlight how quickly sentiment can sour in crypto-linked ETFs when volatility spikes and trend indicators turn negative.
