$55.4 Million Out in One Session

Spot Ethereum (ETH) ETFs in the United States recorded $55.4 million of net outflows on October 1, a single-session exit that outweighed the net flow of the entire prior week and stretched a redemption run into a third straight day. The Ethereum (ETH) price stands near $2,745 as of press time, up 1.3% over 24 hours, so the tape has so far absorbed the exit without a directional break. Fund-flow data compiled from daily issuer disclosures splits the session lopsidedly: Fidelity's FETH bled $23.5 million, Grayscale's ETHE trust lost $20.4 million, VanEck's ETHV shed $6.9 million and Franklin Templeton's EZET gave up $6.1 million. The Farside ledger, built from those daily disclosures, is the dataset behind every figure here. Grayscale's ETH vehicle was the only product to print a positive October 1 figure, taking in $1.5 million, while BlackRock's ETHA and ETHB, Morgan Stanley's MSSE and Bitwise's ETHW sat out the day entirely; no product attracted more than $2 million of inflows. Set against the five-session window from September 25 through October 1, the print sharpens: the full window closed at a net outflow of just $13.7 million, which arithmetically implies roughly $42 million of net inflows across the four earlier sessions to offset Thursday's exit. The October 1 redemption was therefore not the tail of a steady drain but a discrete event that erased nearly a week of accumulated demand in one go. The products move market demand, not network security: Ethereum's proof of stake design, the upgrade that reshaped its consensus layer, keeps the chain secured by validators regardless of ETF redemptions. One issuer keeps bleeding without pause: Grayscale's converted ETHE trust has now shed a cumulative $5.44 billion since listing.

Three Straight Days Out, September Still Green

Thursday's print capped a run that began on Tuesday, September 29: October 1 was the third consecutive session of net outflows for the US spot Ethereum (ETH) ETF complex, the fund-flow ledger shows. The five-day column makes each issuer's direction plain. Grayscale's ETH vehicle ran a net $11.2 million out over the window despite its Thursday inflow; BlackRock's ETHA added $56.9 million and its newer ETHB $31.9 million across the same stretch; 21Shares' TETH added $1.7 million. On the outflow side, ETHE lost $27.9 million across five sessions, Fidelity's FETH $52.1 million and Franklin's EZET $6.1 million, while VanEck's ETHV shed $6.9 million. Farside's dataset prices each product's creation and redemption units daily, which is why a flat line for BlackRock's vehicles means genuinely zero flow, not missing data. Zoom out to the month and the picture inverts: September closed with net inflows larger than August's $1.85 billion, so the current redemptions arrive after a month of accumulation rather than at the end of one. The launch-era ledger also stays net positive since the July 2024 debut, with Morgan Stanley's MSSE and Bitwise's ETHW among the steady accumulators even though both sat out the latest window. Analysts highlight the mechanism at work: sustained ETF redemptions remove a marginal spot buyer from the order book and add to downside pressure on the asset's price, which is why a three-day streak draws more attention than its dollar size alone suggests. The streak lands after spot tested the $2,800 breakout line in recent sessions, and sell-side targets still point up: Citigroup lifted its 12-month Ethereum target to $3,028. Whether the redemptions spill into the wider altcoin market depends on whether they repeat beyond three sessions.

$2,695 Floor, $2,777 Ceiling

COINOTAG's proprietary 42-indicator composite S/R scoring engine frames the aftermath: with spot at $2,745, the $2,776.77 resistance is rated 79/100 (STRONG) on confluence from the Fibo 0.000, Donchian Upper and Keltner Upper sources, while the $2,694.91 support below is rated 93/100, driven by Pivot Point, LVN and the Ichimoku Tenkan and Kijun lines. RSI at 66.62 with a bearish MACD signal inside an uptrend reads as momentum cooling under resistance. Funding sits at 0.0069%, open interest at $12.07 billion and the long/short account ratio at 1.18, a mildly long-crowded read; the Fear & Greed Index at 72 (Greed) agrees. Hold $2,695 and the range resolves upward; lose it and the constructive read is invalidated. What the flow print cannot establish is whether Thursday's redemptions repeat.
