Ethereum Faces $2,350 Support as ETF Outflows and Large Sales Weigh

Ethereum's price hovers near $2,400 amid $110M ETF outflows and a major investor sell-off.

Ethereum's price hovers near $2,400 amid $110M ETF outflows and a major investor sell-off. Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $2,393.20, down 0.2% since this brief published. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by TronWeekly, with live market data added, as of Fri, 23 Oct 2026 20:00:04 UTC.

Why it matters

The $110.6 million ETF outflows and $7.23 million ETH sale by an early investor signal potential near-term downward pressure on Ethereum's price, while the postponed upgrade raises concerns about development timelines.

Key takeaways
  • Ethereum price near $2,400 after $110.6M ETF outflows.
  • Early investor sold 3,000 ETH for $7.23M.
  • Glamorous Hoodi testnet upgrade postponed due to smart-contract issues.

On October 23, Ethereum's price hovered near $2,400 as the cryptocurrency faced downward pressure from significant ETF outflows and a large sell-off by an early investor. According to blockchain tracker Lookonchain, an early investor sold 3,000 ETH, equivalent to $7.23 million, which may have contributed to the price pressure.

The outflows from US spot Ether ETFs totaled $110.6 million, suggesting institutional investors are reducing their exposure to Ethereum. This comes at a time when the broader crypto market remains relatively flat, with Bitcoin showing a modest 0.09% gain over the past 24 hours.

In addition to the market movements, Ethereum developers have postponed the Glamorous Hoodi testnet upgrade due to concerns over smart-contract compatibility. This delay could raise questions about the progress of Ethereum's development roadmap and its impact on the network's functionality.

The broader crypto market cap stands at $2.8 trillion, with Ethereum's market cap at $292.97 billion. Despite the negative news, Ethereum's price has shown resilience, gaining 0.75% over the past 24 hours, although it is down 0.30% over the last seven days.

The Fear & Greed index remains at 50, indicating a neutral market sentiment. Investors will be watching to see if Ethereum can hold the $2,350 support level and if the ETF outflows continue to impact the price.
