Between August 22 and August 30, combined leveraged positions on Binance and Bybit for Ethereum plummeted 90.9%, falling from $1.12 billion to $102 million. Despite this sharp decline in derivatives activity, Ethereum's price remained stable near $2,500. Meanwhile, U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs have attracted about $1.5 billion in inflows since August 15, with BlackRock’s ETHA fund accounting for nearly 72% of that amount. This shift indicates that the recent price rally is now driven more by direct ETF buying in the spot market rather than leveraged trading. However, a large ETH whale wallet has moved over 40,000 ETH onto exchanges, potentially preparing to sell, which could test the strength of ETF-driven demand going forward.
