While derivatives positioning has grown, ETF flows have weakened, raising questions about the rebound’s durability without spot demand. Data also show large liquidations and rising open interest, while funding rates remained positive.

Ether falters as ETF outflows grow and exchange deposits rise
Ether slid to around $1,506 last week, its lowest since April 2025, as institutional flows, spot supply and derivatives positioning came under pressure. Markets saw simultaneous spot ETF outflows, rising deposits to centralised exchanges and futures deleveraging, while bitcoin fell toward $60,000. Spot ether ETFs recorded four straight weeks of net outflows exceeding $870 million, cutting assets sharply. Exchange inflows hit a four-month high, and options data showed stronger demand for downside protection.
