- Trump’s $2M Ethereum holdings could influence ETH ETF prices amid current outflows and market shifts.
- BlackRock’s dominance in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs marks a pivotal change in the crypto ETF landscape, surpassing Grayscale.
As discussed earlier, Donald Trump holds $2M of Ethereum and $7M of TRUMP tokens—raising the question of whether this could propel ETH ETF prices to new all-time highs. On Friday, Ethereum (ETH) saw a 2% increase despite significant outflows from ETH ETFs.
After a three-day inflow streak, ETH ETFs recorded over $39 million in outflows, with Grayscale’s ETHE experiencing the bulk of the $42.5 million exodus.
At the moment, BlackRock’s on-chain holdings in its Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs (IBIT and ETHA) have surpassed those of Grayscale’s ETFs (GBTC, BTC Mini, ETHE, and ETH Mini), according to Arkham Intelligence. This marks a significant shift in ETF holdings.
