If Grayscale’s slated spot Ether ETF follows the same path as its Bitcoin one, there could be some short-term pressure on the price of ETH.
Grayscale’s yet-to-launch spot Ether (ETH) exchange-traded fund (ETF) could bleed an average of $110 million per day if it follows a similar pattern to its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust in the first month.
The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) converted from a closed-end fund to an ETF on Jan. 11, which saw 23% of its assets under management at launch flow out in the first month — totaling $6.5 billion, Kaiko analysts wrote in a May 27 report.
ETHE has an AUM of $11 billion. If it has “a similar magnitude of outflows” as GBTC, “this would amount to $110 million of average daily outflows or 30% of ETH’s average daily volume on Coinbase,” according to Kaiko.
