Crypto isn’t a game — and recent events are a harsh reminder.
Reports are circulating that well-known Ukrainian crypto investor Konstantin Galish (Kudo) has passed away. Many sources claim he allegedly lost around $30 million of investor funds during the recent market crash — funds entrusted to him by others.
While all the facts are still not confirmed, one thing is crystal clear:
In crypto, if you don’t understand risk management, even your profits can become a burden.
Too many people get into futures trading driven by greed. But in that world, one mistake can wipe out everything — no matter how experienced you are. A major market dump can erase months or even years of gains in a single moment.
On the other hand, spot trading is a different game. With time, knowledge, and patience, you can recover from losses. It works more like a real business — the more experienced you become, the higher your chances of long-term success.
So here’s the takeaway:
Don’t fall for the trap of quick profits in futures.
Learn, grow, and build step by step through spot trading.
Because in crypto:
Slow is smooth. Smooth is profit. 🚀
🟢 Trade smart. Stay safe. Respect the market.

Ethereum ETF data continues to show persistent outflows, keeping pressure on net assets despite recent attempts at price recovery. While selling intensity has eased compared to earlier sessions, the flow structure remains decisively risk-off.

Recent ETH ETF Flow Data

Dec 16, 2025: –$224.20M 📉

Dec 15, 2025: –$224.80M 📉

Dec 12, 2025: –$19.40M 📉

That’s nearly $470M in net outflows across three sessions, with no meaningful positive inflow to counterbalance it.

What This Actually Means

Let’s be clear:
ETFs are not buying this ETH bounce.

The price recovery you’re seeing is likely driven by:

Short covering

Spot market absorption

Derivatives positioning

Rotation from weaker alts

Not fresh ETF demand.

If ETFs were genuinely “stabilizing,” you’d see net inflows, not just smaller outflows. Slowing bleeding is not accumulation.

Why ETH Price Can Rise While ETFs Sell

This is where most traders get confused.

ETH has:

Deep derivatives liquidity

Heavy use in collateral and hedging

Strong reflexive moves from leverage resets

So price can recover temporarily even while traditional capital exits via ETFs. That divergence is common during corrective rallies, not trend reversals.

The Key Risk You’re Ignoring

If price recovers without ETF support, the rally is fragile.

That doesn’t mean it must dump immediately.
It means upside is capped until ETF flows flip decisively positive.

No sustained institutional bid = no structural trend change.

Bottom Line

ETH ETF flows are still bearish

Outflows are slowing, not reversing

Price recovery is not ETF-led

Calling this stabilization is premature

If ETF inflows turn positive and price holds structure, then you have something real.
Until then, this is relief, not conviction.

Markets don’t reward hopeful interpretation.
They reward accurate reading of who is actually buying.
