ETFs Struggling to Attract Investors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the main drivers of the decline in Ethereum<\/a><\/strong> is the significant drop in fund inflows into ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) linked to this cryptocurrency. Since the beginning of the year, these funds have seen 6 consecutive weeks of net outflows. They now only have $2.3 billion in assets under management<\/strong>, compared to $35 billion for Bitcoin<\/a>. This imbalance clearly shows that investors currently prefer Bitcoin over Ethereum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

For a long time, Ethereum <\/strong>dominated the cryptocurrency market by generating the highest fees<\/strong>. This was due to its hegemony in sectors such as decentralized finance (DeFi)<\/strong>, gaming, non-fungible tokens (NFT<\/a>), and stablecoins. But this trend reversed in 2025. With only $227 million in fees<\/strong> generated this year, Ethereum <\/strong>has been surpassed by networks like Tether<\/a> <\/strong>($1.3 billion), Solana <\/strong>($376 million), or Tron <\/strong>($880 million), mainly due to their activity related to stablecoins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

On-chain data also indicates a decline in developer activity<\/strong> on the Ethereum network in recent months. This trend is likely explained by a shift to other fast-growing chains<\/strong> like Solana, Sonic, or Berachain. Many developers have also focused on Ethereum layer 2 solutions such as Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism. These offer faster speeds<\/strong> and lower transaction costs.<\/p>\n\n\n

From a technical perspective, Ethereum has sharply dropped <\/strong>after forming a bearish triple-top pattern on the weekly chart. This pattern consists of three peaks around $4,062<\/strong> and a neckline at $2,132. This key support level<\/strong> was last tested on August 5. Ethereum has now fallen below this neckline, confirming the bearish signal<\/strong>. The price has also crossed below the 50 and 100-week moving averages, paving the way for a next price target at $1,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
