BIT: ETF capital outflows dominate ETH price trends, and the advantages of staking returns are narrowing

According to BIT analysis, Ethereum's recent price performance is increasingly dominated by ETF fund flows. Over the past year, the 30-day average of daily net inflows into ETH ETFs has been highly synchronized with Ethereum's price movements, and the sensitivity of Ethereum's price to institutional funds has significantly increased. One of the core narratives of Ethereum is a net staking yield of about 2.5%.

However, in an environment where inflation is accelerating again and the yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury bond has risen above 4.6%, Ethereum's staking yield advantage is weakening compared to risk-free assets like U.S. Treasuries. Since May, there has been a re-emergence of fund outflows from Ethereum ETFs, which aligns with the aforementioned logic. If this trend continues, Ethereum is likely to remain in a phase of consolidation and fluctuation.
