As of February 27, 2025, the fund's value dropped sharply to $4,702.98, marking a $1,432.79 loss compared to the previous week. That’s a steep -23.35% week-over-week decline — the single largest percentage drop since inception.
The primary driver behind this downturn was Ethereum’s severe price crash. ETH experienced a violent sell-off, dragging down overall portfolio performance. While market corrections are not uncommon, the magnitude and speed of this drop caught many by surprise.
The primary factor behind this decline is Ethereum's (ETH) substantial price drop. On February 27, 2025, ETH's price closed at $2,305.48, down from $2,493.59 on February 25—a decline of approximately 7.5% in just two days. This sharp decrease significantly impacted the overall portfolio performance.
Market Dynamics and Ethereum's Volatility
The broader cryptocurrency market has experienced heightened volatility, with Ethereum at the forefront. After reaching a high of $2,839.01 on February 24, 2025, ETH's price began a rapid descent, closing at $2,305.48 by February 27. This represents a decline of nearly 19% within a span of three days.
Several factors contributed to this downturn:
- Market Sentiment: A shift towards bearish sentiment led to increased selling pressure across major cryptocurrencies, with Ethereum experiencing pronounced effects.
- Technical Indicators: Ethereum's price fell below key support levels, triggering stop-loss orders and further accelerating the decline.
- Regulatory Concerns: Emerging regulatory developments may have also played a role in dampening investor confidence, leading to the observed sell-off.
