On August 9, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest sold off significant Ethereum futures ETFs, hinting at growing concerns over Ethereum’s market position. This move comes amid notable shifts in investor sentiment.
Ark Invest Divests Significant Holdings in Ethereum Futures ETFs
Coingape reports that notable crypto market activity occurred when Ark Invest, run by Cathie Wood, sold off a large chunk of its Ethereum futures exchange-traded funds. Ethereum ETPs might be in for a rough ride with this ruling.
In addition, it is indicative of a more general change in investor attitude in the face of increasing outflows from Ethereum ETFs.
Twice as many units of Ark Invest's Ethereum futures ETFs (ETFs) were sold. One example is the ProShares Ethereum Strategy ETF (EETH), while another is the Ark Active Ethereum Futures Strategy ETF (ARKZ). The ARKZ sale was for $12,056, and the EETH transaction was $21,112.
Outflows from Ethereum ETFs Signal Possible Market Shift
Despite the tiny size of the divestiture, these numbers indicate that Ark Invest is orienting itself strategically. It may be a sign that people are losing faith in Ethereum ETPs and the short-term promise of the cryptocurrency. On the other hand, Cathie Wood's firm has recently taken a more positive approach toward crypto equities.
The company bought 145,420 Robinhood Markets Inc. (HOOD) shares on August 7. It put $2.4 million into the market as it began to show indications of improvement. Additionally, the stock closed at $17.12 on the day of the transaction, which was ahead of Robinhood's earnings announcement.
Coinbase Global Inc. (COIN) was another company for which Ark Invest purchased 13,833 shares. The asset's 2% gain after a decline due to recession fears is indicative of an optimistic outlook. In addition, the firm headed by Cathie Wood had purchased shares of HOOD and COIN even when the market was in a slump.
In the wake of Cathie Wood's dump of Ethereum futures ETFs, the wider ETH market has been sending contradictory signals. The spot Ethereum ETF saw a net withdrawal of $15.8 million on August 9th. Despite this mixed mood, the weekly total was still favorable at $104.8 million.
Friday, $19.6 million was deposited into BlackRock's Ethereum ETF. However, the $3.9 million that Fidelity's FETH received was far more modest. Contrarily, Grayscale's ETHE experienced significant withdrawals amounting to $41.7 million.
Ethereum’s Market Stability Faces Uncertainty Amid ETF Outflows
At the same time, the price of Ethereum has been quite consistent, moving in a range of $2,550 to $2,650. Regardless, there may have been a change in attitude based on the market's recent actions. According to QCP Capital's research, the liquidity profiles of Ethereum and Bitcoin (BTC) have changed significantly.
