The most recent Ethereum price drop caught many market participants off guard just a day after the launch of the much-awaited exchange-traded funds.
Apart from significant outflows recorded by Ethereum ETFs, the second-largest cryptocurrency also came under pressure due to the recent stock market crash.
However, as Deutscher points out, the crypto king also experienced a severe price correction following the launch of Bitcoin ETFs in January. In fact, the price of Bitcoin plunged by as much as 20% since the debut of these products. Bitcoin then went on to rally a whopping 91% in 51 days, hitting its current record peak of $73,737 on March 14.
With that being said, it is worth noting that Bitcoin ETFs still logged roughly $200 million worth of inflows on their second day of trading, which is a sharp contrast to the net outflows recorded by Ethereum ETFs.
The outflows have taken a toll on the ETH/BTC pair, which has come under renewed pressure.
The price of Ethereum is up more than 70% on a year-over-year basis.
