The analytics firm mentioned that the significant drainage from Ethereum ETFs signifies the biggest single-day net outflow since July 29. The opposing movements in the case of ETF investments mirror a wider trend in the crypto market. In this respect, Bitcoin keeps on operating as a more stable and safer asset in comparison with Ethereum.
While investors respond to regulatory developments and macroeconomic conditions, Bitcoin is getting substantial attention as a hedge against inflation. Keeping that in view, this huge swing in inflows of both the top crypto ETF platforms raises concerns about the wider market dynamics. According to
Spot On Chain
, such a big capital movement from Ethereum may pave the way for short-term heightened volatility.
