On the second day of trading for U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs turned out to be quite disappointing. These funds saw a big exit, with investors pulling out around $113.3 million in total.

The biggest hit came from Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust ETF, which saw over $800 million in net outflows.

The situation left many scratching their heads. While some Ether ETFs managed to stay in the green during the U.S. trading session, the overall mood was far from upbeat.

The sudden outflow had a noticeable effect on ETH’s price, which dipped by 1.8% on the same day. This decline likely fed into a cycle of negativity, with investors choosing to cut their losses.

Interestingly, this outflow came despite Ethereum ETFs generally performing well during the trading day. So, why the exodus? It seems that confidence in ETH’s near-term prospects is shaky.

This could be due to broader market trends or simply a reaction to the large sums being pulled from Grayscale’s fund.

It’s hard to ignore the elephant in the room. Bitcoin ETFs. When comparing the two, Ethereum ETFs seemed to attract less enthusiasm. On their first trading day, Ethereum ETFs captured only 16% of the first-day net flows that Bitcoin ETFs saw.

This lackluster performance could be a factor in the quick outflows seen on day two. At press time, Ether was worth $3,181 and has seen a 7.5% decrease in the past 24 hours.

This year, global bond financing has reached $6.61 trillion, a 15% year-on-year increase, breaking the 2025 historical record two months early. The main driving force is the AI arms race—cloud computing providers and data centers have issued nearly $368 billion in bonds this year, six times more than last year, accounting for one third of the overall increase. Amazon has become the fourth largest bond issuer in the world, surpassing France and the UK. Citibank has warned that the capital demand from AI is pushing up the global neutral interest rate, which may structurally raise the long-term interest rate benchmark.

Wall Street "ponders" Walsh's speech: suggests further rate hikes, but not by much

At a press conference, Walsh, backed by strong economic data (GDP over 3%, double-digit investment growth), refused to characterize current financial conditions as "tight," which the market interpreted as an indication that further rate hikes are still needed, although likely to a limited extent. Despite two internal dissenting votes, a hawkish committee member voted in favor, suggesting that most expect a catch-up hike in December. The futures market has already priced in one rate increase each in December and next March.

Six years of inflation pressure and two dissenting votes: Is the Federal Reserve poised for a December rate hike, with another possible in March next year?

The Federal Reserve holds rates steady; Waller hints at another possible rate hike in December, with additional hikes possible in early 2027. Inflation has failed to meet the target for six years, and futures have already priced in rate hikes for December and March.
