Ether Dips Below $3,100; Investment Manager Says Market Views ETH as ‘More Risky’ Than BTC<\/h2>\n

Timothy Peterson says ether ETFs have lost about 7% of cost-basis capital over five weeks, versus 4% for bitcoin ETFs.<\/h2>\n

Ether ETH<\/span><\/svg><\/span>$3,177.68<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span> traded below $3,100 on Sunday during a broader pullback in digital assets. The token was recently near $3,066 at 9:36 p.m. UTC, down 3.4% over the past 24 hours. It briefly fell through the $3,100 level on Bitstamp at about 4 p.m. UTC, marking its first break beneath that threshold since Nov. 4, based on data from TradingView.<\/p>\n

Timothy Peterson<\/a>, an investment manager and digital asset researcher at Cane Island Alternative Advisors, said spot ether ETFs posted net outflows in four of the past five weeks, totaling roughly 7% of the cost-basis capital invested in the products. He said bitcoin ETFs saw about 4% withdrawn over the same period, a smaller share that he believes indicates investors currently view ether as the riskier asset.<\/p>\n

Cost-basis capital represents the total amount of money originally committed to an ETF, separate from gains or losses accumulated after purchase. The measure reflects how much foundational capital long-term participants have contributed to a fund. When redemptions rise as a share of this original investment base, analysts interpret it as an erosion of conviction among established holders rather than short-term positioning changes.<\/p>\n

Because the metric focuses on investors\u2019 initial commitments, it can provide a clearer read on sentiment than headline inflow and outflow data, which can be affected by week-to-week volatility. <\/p>\n

Traders will now be watching whether ether\u2019s ETF outflows ease or continue in the coming weeks, and how the token trades around key levels after Sunday\u2019s move below $3,100. Future flow data and price action are likely to show whether the sentiment gap Peterson highlighted between ether and bitcoin persists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
