It was speculated that over $200 million in leveraged long positions of Justin Sun were liquidated during Ethereum’s price drop to under $2,000 on Monday. However, Sun clarified that the Tron team does not engage in leveraged trading.
Following positive PMI data and improving employment numbers easing concerns of a US recession, the price of ETH has seen a resurgence during the broader crypto market recovery. Currently, ETH is trading above $2,500, with its market capitalization surpassing $300 billion.
Despite the market turmoil and ETH’s decline below $2,000, there were net inflows in spot Ether ETFs. Data from Farside Investors indicates that the total net inflow in spot Ether ETFs amounted to $48.8 million yesterday.
Notably, the BlackRock Ethereum ETF (ETHA) attracted inflows of $47.1 million, while Grayscale’s ETHE experienced outflows of $46.8 million. Fidelity’s FETH and VanEck’s ETHV each saw inflows of over $16 million. These numbers indicate that institutional investors continue to recognize the long-term potential in ETH and consider market downturns as an opportunity to make strategic purchases.
