Grayscale Ethereum Trust faces $26 million outflow as investors shift to lower-cost alternatives

by July 25, 2024
written by July 25, 2024

In a dramatic shift, investors withdrew $26 million from spot Ether ETFs on the second day of trading, following an initial $100 million inflow. This notable withdrawal has significantly impacted the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (NYSE: ETHE), a major player in the crypto asset management arena.

According to data from ETF tracker Farside, ETHE experienced substantial outflows of $327 million on its second day, adding to a staggering $484 million in outflows on the first day. 

This brings the total outflows to $811 million within just two days. Such a steep decline represents a serious setback for Grayscale, the world’s largest crypto asset manager, which launched ETHE in 2017 as the first publicly traded Ethereum fund in the U.S.

A critical factor contributing to the outflows appears to be ETHE’s 2.5% management fee, the highest among spot Ether ETFs.

This fee structure mirrors the challenges faced by Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust ETF (NYSE: GBTC), which has also struggled with prolonged outflows due to high fees.

Investors are evidently sensitive to the cost of managing their investments, with higher fees driving them toward more cost-effective options.

Success for lower-cost alternatives

Despite ETHE’s struggles, Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust (NYSE: ETH), which offers a lower-cost alternative, saw positive inflows. 

On its second trading day, the Ethereum Mini Trust attracted $45.9 million, thanks to its significantly lower management fee of just 0.15%. This makes it the most affordable option among spot Ether ETFs.

Fidelity’s Ethereum Fund (FETH) led the inflow race with $74.5 million on the second day, followed by Bitwise Ethereum ETF (NYSE: ETHW) and VanEck Ethereum ETF (Cboe: ETHV), which garnered $29.6 million and $19.8 million, respectively. 

The contrasting performance between these funds highlights a clear preference for lower-cost alternatives among investors.

Shift in investor sentiment

The stark difference in fund performances underscores a shift in investor sentiment. The heavy outflows from Grayscale Ethereum Trust suggest that investors are increasingly prioritizing cost efficiency in their investment choices.

This trend is reflected in the positive reception of lower-cost ETFs like the Ethereum Mini Trust and Fidelity’s Ethereum Fund.

The initial outflows from Grayscale’s ETHE signal a growing investor scrutiny of fee structures. With ETHE’s 2.5% management fee proving unpopular, there is a clear demand for more affordable investment options.

The favorable reception of lower-cost ETFs may prompt providers to reassess their fee structures to remain competitive.

As the market for spot Ether ETFs continues to evolve, these early movements indicate a broader shift towards more cost-effective investment vehicles. The increasing competition among ETF providers is likely to drive further innovation and diversification in the crypto asset market, reshaping the landscape of Ether ETFs and influencing future investment strategies.
