Ethereum ETFs saw $422 million in outflows yesterday, the second-largest single day.
That brings the total outflows this week to $618 million.
Even with that, August remains positive overall, with more than $2.8 billion in net inflows so far.
This kind of volatility is normal in crypto. Huge corrections often follow strong rallies, & the back-and-forth is part of how the market establishes direction.
The key is not just reacting to these swings, but knowing ahead of time how you want to position yourself. Pullbacks are often where long-term conviction gets tested & built.
Don’t forget to zoom out & load up on your high conviction altcoin bags.

Everyone keeps panicking because “institutions are dumping” but what’s actually happening is very different from what those headlines suggest.
@ARKInvest selling 559 $BTC isn’t them turning bearish, it’s classic portfolio rebalancing after Bitcoin rallied 150%+ YoY.
BlackRock’s spot ETH ETF “selling 19,500 ETH” isn’t BlackRock changing its mind, that’s just ETF mechanics.
When customers redeem shares, the $ETF is forced to remove ETH from the trust.
Even Longling, who sold 7,000 ETH into the pullback, still sits on a $352M Ethereum bag.
Now flip the lens…
While retail is panic-selling every red candle, institutions are busier than ever buying the dip.
Bitmine scooped up 106,485 ETH ($470M) in the last 24h alone.
A mystery fund just pulled 92,899 ETH off Kraken into fresh cold wallets.
So no, this isn’t institutions giving up.
It’s professional risk management in a euphoric market, they sell into strength.
Smart money is exiting at the top of the range and re-entering lower, while retail is doing the opposite.
Don’t get faked out by flow headlines.
