The iShares Ethereum Trust ETF, ETHA, closed out 2025 with a notable bout of investor caution, recording outflows of $13.28 million on December 30, 2025. While modest relative to its scale, the move still reflects mounting unease around Ethereum’s trajectory. The ETF now manages approximately $10.30 billion in assets under management (AUM), meaning the latest redemptions accounted for about 0.13% of its asset base.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $2,979.20, having shed roughly 32.2% over the past three months. That steep slide has coincided with a deteriorating technical backdrop, with short-term indicators flashing a Sell signal over the last day. The combination of price weakness and bearish technicals appears to be feeding into ETF flows, as some investors lock in losses or rotate toward perceived havens elsewhere in the digital asset complex.
Still, the scale of the outflow—just a fraction of ETHA’s AUM—suggests that longer-term institutional holders remain largely in place, even as speculative money steps back. If Ethereum can stabilize around current levels or show signs of a trend reversal, the ETF could quickly become a vehicle for re-risking. For now, though, year-end positioning and ongoing macro uncertainty are tilting the balance toward caution.
