The spot bitcoin ETFs saw $284 millions of inflows over the same period, signaling a stark divergence in investor sentiment.

- Ether ETFs saw $505.4 million in outflows over four days, reversing a month-long trend of heavy inflows.
- Bitcoin ETFs gained $283.7 million during the same period, highlighting a shift in investor sentiment away from ether.
- The outflows align with a price dip in ether, continuing a pattern where investors retreat after local lows.
Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have recorded four consecutive days of outflows, marking a sharp turn in sentiment after a month of heavy inflows that saw them outperform their bitcoin BTC$108,783.53 counterparts.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
Over the past four trading sessions, spot ether ETFs shed a combined $505.4 million, according to data compiled by Farside Investors. By contrast, bitcoin ETFs brought in $283.7 million during the same period. This reversal follows a striking August performance when ether ETFs saw more than $4 billion in inflows, compared to just $629 million for bitcoin funds.
The shift appears tied to price action. Ether dropped to $4,209 on Monday, marking its lowest level since mid-August. This is similar to past observations which have also seen ETH ETF outflows following sizable price declines.
This behavior suggests investors often move to the sidelines rather than buy the dip. That behavior may reflect either a loss of confidence in short-term upside or a reluctance to hold through potential further declines.

Still, past performance suggests the pendulum could swing back again. If ether’s price stabilizes or climbs, ETF flows may follow.
