Summary
U.S. spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds have seen about $310 million in net outflows so far in 2026, with aggregate assets declining from $17.95 billion to $13.04 billion. Outflows in November alone reached roughly $272 million, according to figures compiled by TradingView from three sources.
In Russia, the Moscow Exchange plans to launch a pilot cryptocurrency trading program on December 1. The initial offering will include Ether alongside Bitcoin and Tether, Cointelegraph reported. The Bank of Russia identified Ether as eligible for public trading, citing its market capitalization, average daily trading volume, and at least five years of price history on foreign exchanges.
A proposed rule could allow Ether to be included in 401(k) retirement plans, though it would not require inclusion. Experts cited by Cointelegraph said Ether could be considered ahead of smaller cryptocurrencies, but plan fiduciaries would still have to meet prudence standards in any allocation decision.
On-chain data cited by Binance News showed a wallet beginning 0x32c purchased 8,773.52 ETH for $19.62 million at an average price of $2,236.75. The wallet had previously acquired 7,543 ETH at $2,048.69 during March's low.
Separately, the Ethereum Foundation delayed Glamsterdam EIPs 8037 and 8038, which alter gas costs for certain operations. The delay gives developers additional time to review contracts before mainnet deployment.
