Ether Slides 13% in 30 Days as Bitcoin's Decline Stays Under 5%

Ether has lost roughly 13% of its value over the past 30 days, a drop almost three times as deep as Bitcoin's 4.7% decline over the same window. The token slipped below $2,300 on Oct. 24. For readers tracking the sector's two anchor assets, the divergence is also visible in the daily fund-flow tallies published by their US spot ETFs, which provide a running record of demand through regulated brokerage vehicles.

$ETH changed hands at $2,342.08 late on October 24, down 12.96% across the 30-day period, according to CoinGecko data. The weakest print of the window was a 24-hour low of $2,286.76.

Bitcoin traded at $80,537, a 4.71% decrease over the same span. Ether opened the 30-day window near $2,684, while Bitcoin started it close to $84,249.

$ETH / $BTC Ratio Slides to 0.0291 From 0.0319

Over seven days, $ETH fell 3.33%, while bitcoin dropped 1.48%.

The $ETH / $BTC ratio, which expresses the price of Ether in Bitcoin, lingered around 0.0291 after beginning the 30-day window near 0.0319. The ratio serves as a standard relative-strength yardstick between the two largest cryptocurrencies, so its slide tracks ether's steeper 30-day loss.

On the day, Ether shed about 0.7% to reach its late-session price, while bitcoin slipped roughly 0.1%.

Ether crested for the window near $2,754 on Oct. 2. It has surrendered about 15% since then and sits roughly 53% below its record high of $4,946.05 set in August 202. Bitcoin trades about 36% under its own $126,080 peak, reached in October 2025. Ether's market capitalization stood near $286 billion late on October 24.

BlackRock's ETHA Drives $110.6 Million Exit on October 22

US spot ether exchange-traded funds — which hold ether directly and trade through ordinary brokerage accounts — registered net outflows of $110.6 million on October 22, data from Farside showed. BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) accounted for $75.5 million of that total, while Fidelity's FETH took in $2.4 million. On the same day, BlackRock's ETHB lost $17.2 million, Grayscale's ETHE shed $9.6 million, and Grayscale's Ethereum Staking Mini ETF dropped $10.7 million.

The October 22 exit followed $14.9 million in inflows on October 21, when Grayscale's staking mini fund added $28.1 million and FETH collected $13 million, while ETHA shed $29.3 million.

Five consecutive sessions of outflows from Oct. 14 to 20 drained $388.9 million from the funds, and the seven sessions through Oct. 22 cost $484.6 million. The heaviest single day of that run came on Oct. 14, when $129.5 million left the funds, and October 19 added $103.3 million more.

The October 23 tally showed net inflows of $4.4 million, though the ETHV fund's figure remained absent, leaving that day's total subject to revision.

According to Cryptopolitan, Ether ETFs recorded $1.08 billion in outflows in October through October 21, marking the largest monthly outflow of 2026. Those outflows erased roughly $832 million of September's inflows, leaving year-to-date net inflows at about $485 million. October was the funds' worst month since November 2025. Total net assets stood at $14.98 billion as of Oct. 20, equivalent to 5.01% of the market value of ether — meaning the bulk of ether's roughly $286 billion market capitalization sits outside these vehicles.

Bitcoin ETFs bled only about $67 million over the same October period and still held roughly $809 million in net inflows for 2026. A six-session streak that began on September 29 sapped about $408 million, with ETHA alone losing $201.89 million on October 6.
